Well, having some very specific, first-hand experience about how a blend can change/develop/mature, I can confidently say that, no shocker, here, age can definitely help a cigar. At four and a half years, these are mellowing out and are creamier while still maintaining a lot of flavor. 😃

Probably because most of their cigars are made by Casa Fernández....

Be still my beating heart! Music to my ears, brother! Come to the darkside! Next thing, you'll be buying cuban cigars by the thousands and causing a rift that lasts years with your wife! Wahoo!!!

Keeping it classy with a Kip stick last night and this Padilla Habano Fuma today on the porch. Right around 60 degrees.. if it wasn't so windy out it would be perfect.

Well, she already likes Cuban cigars a lot more than me, so she’d probably be down with that!

Finally getting to an outdoor temperature where I can spend the longer time needed for a big cigar. Still love these after a big meal or at the end of the day.

Despite being an unintended gimmick cigar, I like those a fair bit. They sure do go well with a heavy meal.

I don’t smoke a lot of Padrons, but they never disappoint.

It's been 10 years now but before SCHIP and the FDA fears and regular price hikes, I could buy the Padron 2000, slightly longer robusto, for about $4. What a frickin steal that cigar was.
