Padrón 6000

The Padrón 6000 opens with a robust medium-full body, delivering an immediate mix of dark cocoa, espresso roast, and toasted almond over a base of earthy cedar and subtle leather. The retrohale adds black pepper, baking spice, and a hint of dried fig, bringing warmth and gentle sweetness to the profile. By the second third, the flavors broaden into molasses, roasted walnut, and dark caramel, while the pepper mellows into a smooth, lingering undertone. A faint honeyed note emerges, tying the cocoa, wood, and spice together into a cohesive mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar condenses into bittersweet chocolate, charred oak, clove, and a trace of espresso crema, finishing long, warm, and slightly sweet with a resonant spice.

The torpedo vitola is expertly rolled with a dark, slightly toothy Nicaraguan sun-grown wrapper over all-Nicaraguan binder and filler. The seams are tight, the tapered head is perfectly shaped for a clean cut, and the pack is firm yet responsive. Cold draw reveals cocoa husk, cedar, and a touch of raisin. Upon lighting, the draw is ideal—slight resistance producing dense, aromatic smoke with a creamy texture. The burn line remains sharp with minimal waviness, and the ash stacks into firm, medium-gray coins that cling well past the inch mark. Combustion is steady and cool, rewarding slow, measured puffs.

Pair with Flor de Caña 18 Year Rum or GlenDronach 18 Year Allardice; both enhance the cigar’s chocolate, spice, and wood notes while adding complementary sweetness and depth.

Aging potential is strong: 5–8 years will integrate the cocoa, cedar, and spice into a more seamless, velvety profile while refining the pepper into a polished undertone.
