I'm surprised that you gave it a 9 for flavor and a 9 for aftertaste while your review made it sound a bit drab, wood with a little spice and not really dynamic. It must have tasted better than your review reads.

it has good flavors but the complexity isnt what i was expecting. i mean, i did say:

I would like to say that I am enjoying this cigar quite a bit.
i did enjoy it quite a bit. the flavors were very good, but as in all other cains that i have had, there is no complexity through the length of the stick.

Sad to read. Better luck next time
really? it was good. if the draw and construction had been what oliva USUALLY puts out it would have been a 9.2 overall. i hardly think this is a bad score. i just had a difficult draw and construction in an otherwise great and highly rated cigar. i know construction issues and draw issues arent the norm in Oliva.
Hey Kuzi, I'm curious to get your take on a Padron '64. I feel like a broken record because I keep going on about them all the time, but they're by far my favorite cigar. I'd be curious to hear what you think, as I'm not so great at deciphering flavors, and I can easily pick out no less than 6 different tastes throughout the cigar. I'll be waiting to read it!

strangely enough i have never smoked one. I own a few of them including one that i got off of the rolling table before it was pressed when i visited the padron factory a few months ago. il see what i can do about getting a review on them. I have never been a huge fan of Padron but i hear the Anaversario series is nothing at all like the regular line.
It is the opinion of many that the 26 is different (defined by some as slightly better) than the 64. Your thoughts on the Padron 26 would be very interesting.
I've only had one AAA and I smoked it right after I smoked a 262 Paradigm and it stomped all over the 262 in the strength and body department. It's a really great stick that I really enjoyed. I need to pick up some more.
Fantastic! I've got 10 of these bad boys sitting in my aging humi, hopefully several of them can get some real age to them. Nice review, I'm really excited now.
I really feel like I'm going to have to revisit the AAA. The one I had lasted about 10 minutes, as I had to put it out because the only thing I could get out of it was this terrible bitterness. I'm hoping it just had something to do with that particular stick. Maybe I'll get a box and let them rest for a year or two. Great review though Kuzi, as always!
Smoked an AAA tonight after this review put it in my head. When this was initially released, I wasn't so crazy about it, but time has smoothed out some of the rough spots and I'm really finding I enjoy this cigar a lot.
I've got a box of them aging right now and really want to smoke one because of this review. I will do my best to resist, but it may end up a futile effort.

resist the urge. as i said in the reviw, the aging potential is staggering.
I think the PA broadleaf is really an underrated wrapper and is becoming one of my favorites. Nice review Kuzi, thanks.
How do you figure it's underrated? Maybe it is outside this community (I pretty much stick here exclusively), but it's responsible for a lot of sticks that get really rave reviews on here, like this one, Diesel UHC and Shorty, Patel Bro's, LHC Oscura Fuerte...
After reading the review and all the comments concerning the AAA I am even more glad that I was gifted the Double Happiness version of the AAA, so now I either have 2 great Robusto somkes or 1 Big A$$ Mother of a great smoke. Either way thanks j0z3r for the stick.
