Padrón is a brand of contrasts against the industry. At least that's what I call it when I'm feeling philosophical. Smoking one of its Series cigars is like asking yourself over and over again how a brand can make such a good product, one that combines strength, intensity, and body, for a price that rarely reaches $10. At least, I've never seen this Series 3000 for that price in "regular" stores.
In a market where it's relatively common to find cigars that aren't even half as good, with flavors of nuts, damp earth, raisins, figs, and caramel, and that easily cost 50 to 100% more.
Is it the volume? Is it luck? Is it a matter of our tastes matching and some people don't like it? I don't know. But keep making them. The Padrón Series 3000 is a cigar I buy every chance I get. Like a junkie given 30 cents, I put them in a piggy bank I call the 3000 series fund… well, maybe not that much, but there's a regular stash for them.
The coffee is a homemade espresso, which I don't know how to make, but my dad is happy to be able to do it and pair the aromas of coffee with tobacco, as he can no longer indulge in them
