This cigar has become a favorite. It's a very smooth box press with an even burn better than any other cigar I'm smoked, even in wind. If you're looking for something to smoke that is excellent quality but that doesn't leave you with that "afterburner taste and feeling" this is a cigar worth you trying. One caveat... it's a very delicate cigar with a very thin wrapper. They have to be handled carefully and kept at 68% - 70% humidity (at least that's my experience). I've found the lower the humidity the easier it is to see the wrapper tear or peel away from the binder. I have had to have one box returned but that was after 4-5 maybe more boxes.
Creaminess carries through consistently, making it forgiving and enjoyable without overwhelming spice, pepper, or harshness that can turn off newcomers. It still though has some heft and depth that is appreciated by more veteran cigar enthusiasts.
I am one that has not gotten to a strong cigar. I find these with a medium strength and a bold flavor. Just perfect for an evening smoke or for a nice drive in the country.
If you don’t have time to smoke a Churchill, the Hush Money cigar gives a lot of pleasure for an attractive price. Medium strength and good construction and burns well, giving 20 to 30 minutes of pleasure and relaxation!
If you’re new to cigars, the Padrón Thousand Series Maduro is a very approachable place to start. Padrón has a reputation for consistency, and this cigar shows why. It lights easily, burns evenly, and has a smooth draw, which makes the overall experience pretty relaxed. The flavor profile leans toward leather, nuts, and a mild earthy sweetness without being overwhelming. The ring gauge is on the larger side, which some beginners may actually enjoy because the smoke tends to feel cooler and slower. While experienced smokers may prefer smaller sizes for stronger flavor, this cigar is an easygoing, well-made introduction to the Padrón line
Really good cigar. The perfect strength for any time of the day. The price point is awesome. Smoke away!
Awesome smoke that starts with a savory cream/coffee/nuts profile, transitions sneakily to forest aromas of cedar and fall leaves, then RETURNS to cafe latte with peanuts by the nub. Amazing. Perfectly balanced with faint spice/pepper. Can tell a lot of work and love went into this!
Renegade has outdone themselves again with another great cigar! Benjamin back at his birthplace!
Fantastic flavor. Unbelievable value. Worth 4X the price.
Outstanding smoke. Longtime favorite. Medium+ strength, good complexity of flavors. Definite standard bearer in my rotation.
My favorite cigar. Always in stock great staff. My spot to go chill with me, myself & I. And also habe good conversation with good people..
Padron never disappoints. This is a great cigar and wholeheartedly recommend. Great flavor.
I've been a Davidoff fan for years, and Davidoff was all I smoked. Recently, a friend of mine recommended that I try the Oliva Serie V Melanio. I was blown away. The construction is amazing. No runs even in mild wind, even burn, and extremely smooth. I'm not swearing off my Davidoff's but if I'm in the mood for a smooth smoke the Oliva is my choice. I smoke the 6" and I believe it would be considered a torpedo box press. My only wish is that it smoked longer. I don't know if there is a longer (length) version.
Bold Maduro flavor with solid construction. I always go to this one for long, smoke-filled reflection.
An excellent mild/medium cigar. Has more flavor than the Davidoff 2000, but the 2000 has a better draw.
Excellent short smoke (25 minute) mild cigar. The draw, burn, and construction was perfect.
Renegade Cigars is hands down one of the best cigar shops around! They have an incredible selection of premium cigars and everything is always fresh and well kept. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the lounge has that perfect classic cigar vibe.
The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help you find exactly what you’re looking for, whether you’re a regular or just exploring something new. I’ve bought some of my favorite cigars here and I keep going to this shop.
Ordered three Opus 25th’s from the great folks here at Renegade. Brandon and Nate made sure the sticks arrived safely and promptly, and added a nice handwritten note as well. Felt like visiting the local B&M! Will be ordering more. Thanks again fellas!
Really like this cigar, sweet and aromatic smoke, it will be my next box order.
Thanks Renegade
Very nice smoke, smoking one right now , goes good with my Pendilton Whiskey and my TX Whiskey
Great humidor. Great selection. Great service. Great people. I've been to dozens of cigar lounges around the metroplex, and this is the best. The box of cigars I purchased was perfectly kept and maintained. High quality product. I love all Foundation cigars and particularly enjoy the Tabernacle CT 142. Renegade always has them and I always smoke them. Thanks guys.
