It is indubitably a pique experience, intoxicatingly stunning and superbly delicious.

Sometimes, less is more.
 
Can any FOG here tell me between the Maduro and the Natural of the 64's, which one is better ? I know that every one has a different taste, flavor, strength preference and it may be a half and half consensus here. So if I was to go out and get a 5 packs of the PAM 64's Exclusivo, what would it be, Maduro or Natural ?

Thanks.

Go broke and get one of each. That way you get to decide. There are times when a maduro is what I really want and sometimes a natural. I just passed up buying a bunch of 64 naturals, which I really like, to grab some 3000 maduros, which sounded tastier at the time.

But if I were forced, I'd go for the maduro just because they are harder to find (for me) and I am a sucker for a well-aged maduro.

smoke a couple of each and make your own decision

personally I prefer the maduro
 
I can't speak from experience on the natural, but I had a maduro tonight thanks to a purchase I made from Netminder. I'd have to say that I experienced flavors never before attained from a cigar. It went superb with my coffee. Nutty and creamy is what I experienced from this young untrained pallete.
 
I've got to try a 64 one of these days. Every time I see them at the B&M I just get overwhelmed with decisions and walk away!! haha.
 
I had one in Maduro tonight. It was excellent all the way through, bit of a tight draw on the one I had, but it was excellent still.
 
I found one in my humidor last week. Have no idea where it came from or who gave it to me. Looking forward to trying it.
 
Maduro vs. Natural

The constant ponderings when attacking the Padron Anni series. I have to say that honestly, I prefer the Naturals. There's more subtlety to the flavor but I find them to be a slightly more satisfying smoke. You'll find a bit more earth and grassiness in the Natural with a touch of spice and only a hair of sweetness, whereas the Maduro will make you crave chocolate at some level... But to each his own! I'm notorious for enjoying a cigar that makes me sit back and think deep thoughts. :2

PS Post 400...booyah.
 
I just finished a maduro last night, and I must say that this was one of the very best cigars I've ever smoked. Ever!!:tu

I had a maduro one of these last night for the first time, and all I can say is WOW! I don't have experience with the natural, but the maduro is absolutely incredible.
 
I have a box of the Maduro Exclusivos... and they are fantastic. I'd have to say its one of my all time favorite cigars.
 
My fiancee and I stopped in for an after dinner smoke at a little cigar bar west of Boston last night, and I fired up the 64 Natural. This was the first I'd had from the anniversary series, and while it was a pleasant enough stick, I wasn't blown away by it. To be fair, I think I overhyped in my head and was expecting some other-worldy experience. I will say, it's one of the best constructed cigars I've ever had. The ash held for almost 3 inches, and the draw was perfect. It was a little on the mild side for my flavor profile, but I don't want to imply I didn't enjoy the cigar. However, for $14- a stick (cigar bar price), there were others I'd reach for before this one.
