I am wondering if for those who have smoked these cigars would or could let me know which would be a better smoke, the natural or the maduro? I wouldn't say that I usually buy maduro's, but I do enjoy a good rich, heavy cigar as long as it packs a good amount of flavor. I also am wondering if there is much difference between the two other than the aging in the tobacco? I am looking at getting a 5 pack sampler of the 64 and though that comes in either maduro or natural, the 26 only comes in a maduro. So any input would be fantastic as they are both rather spendy..

I've never had the natural, but the Maduro was great. It had tastes of unsweet chocolate and almonds. Very rich and complex.

I've had the 26 in maduro and thought it was incredible. Very smooth, flavorful and pretty strong. I've also had the 64 in the natural wrapper on a few occasions and it's also a top notch stick. Smooth, not quite as strong as the 26, but just as complex and flavorful. I think any way you go with these cigars, they're tough to beat.

Take it for what it's worth since I've never had either! (Though I do have a nice '26 40th in my humi that will probably fall into the "I'll never find an occasion good enough to smoke this thing" category along with that Leccia rolled Nub Maddy sent me...) Anyway, from what I have heard, the general consensus from those that have had both is that the '26 is a better smoke...

Just keep in mind if you do, you're pissing off a dude who shaves with a sword.

Thanks for the input peeps, =) I'm thinking that if I can, try both.

I have only had the 64 Natural and the 26 Maduro. The 26 is pretty strong. I liked the 64 better, but that was my preference. In fact, I still have one of each that have about 2 years of aging on them.

madurofan:

...the 26 Natural is my favorite.

AMEN!

Sirius.. I know that some cigars hold a special place in your heart for any number of reasons, and are wonderful to look at, but smoke that one some day or you will miss out . Now the Nub is a different story, just like Maddy will never never never smoke that barber pole ( no jokes allowed) .
