Did Connor Get A Bad Stick? Padron Series 2000 Cigar Review

In this solo review, Connor dives into the legendary Padrón Series 2000—a 5x50 box-pressed classic from one of Nicaragua's most respected cigar makers. Known for rich notes of cocoa, cedar, pepper, and espresso, the Padrón Series is a staple for many aficionados. But did this one miss the mark?

Connor explores the construction, draw, and flavor profile—but something seemed a little off with this cigar. Was it just an off day for the blend, or did Connor get a rare dud from this otherwise consistent line?

Watch to find out how this Maduro stacked up and whether it still earns a spot in the humidor—or if this one's going in the "retry" pile.
