The Padrón 4000 Natural is a richer, medium-to-full smoke — a Nicaragua toro with a Nicaraguan (sun-grown Natural) wrapper. Expect cedar, coffee, and toast.
The verdict
The Padrón 4000 Natural is a richer, medium-to-full smoke from Padrón's Thousand Series line. It's a Nicaragua (New World) toro wrapped in Nicaraguan (sun-grown Natural) at 6.5 in × 54.
On the palate, expect cedar, coffee, and toast, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 80 minutes from light to nub.
It pairs naturally with coffee, aged rum, and lager. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The Padrón 4000 Natural is the sun-grown version of one of the Thousand Series' most popular toros. This is Padrón's everyday, round (non-box-pressed) line — an all-Nicaraguan puro aged at least two-and-a-half years, and a brilliant value introduction to the brand.
What it tastes like
This 6.5 x 54 natural is medium-full and leans woody: cedar and coffee lead, with a bready toastiness, toasted almond, and a clean pepper finish. It's drier and a touch milder in impression than the cocoa-rich maduro version. It doesn't have the depth of the pricier Padrón lines, but it nails the brand's hallmark balance and flawless construction at an everyday price.
Who it's for
A great daily cigar and an easy on-ramp to Padrón, especially if you prefer natural wrappers. Try it next to the 4000 Maduro to taste the difference, and see maduro vs Connecticut for the why. Want a step up later? The 1964 Imperial Natural is the same shape in a finer line.
It's an affordable Nicaraguan smoke for the Cuban vs Nicaraguan comparison. Pair it with coffee, and rate it in your humidor with the Casa DNC app.
