From first look of the Padilla Reserva Maduro, one might think this is going to provide a fuller strength, full-bodied smoking experience.  This was not the case with the Reserva Maduro.  This shouldn’t be looked at as a negative as it is possible to make a good maduro with a blend that is medium/medium to full range for strength and body.  The Padilla Reserva Maduro accomplishes this well.  While I would say this still has a lot of traditional maduro qualities, the retro-hale and the floral spice flavors will differentiate this cigar from others.   This is a cigar that I’d recommend for a novice cigar enthusiast looking to graduate to something with medium strength while exploring a maduro blend.  I’d also recommend this to a more experienced cigar enthusiast as they will appreciate what this cigar brings to the table.  This is a cigar I would definitely smoke again.

Score: 90

Stogie Review

Would I buy it again? Yes. No doubt about it. I was never a huge Padilla fan until I got a hold of this stick. I think the flavor and balance is wonderful and with it staying in the medium body range for most of the cigar makes it right up my alley.
