Padron Naturals vs Maduros for the thousands series?

My vendor i was already ordering from on Monday has the Padron 4000 Natural and 7000 Maduro in stock.

Which would you go with, ignoring length and rg difference?

Padron natural and maduro are all made the same - the only difference is in the sorting after rolling. The darker wrappers are put in maduro boxes and the lighter in natural. That said - they do have a different taste to me and I lean toward natural.

Thats extremely interesting. So, not really "true" Maduros then. Wonder how many other makers do this, at least with certain lines?

I have definitely noticed some Maduros having noticably more flavor and darkness to the wrapper color to them than others, which leads me to believe that this may not be a practice isolated to Padron.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, had it not been for the majority who chimed in for the Maduro, it would have made my decision very simple, even though you do state that the taste is different even not being true Maduros.

For those that recommended the Maduro, assuming you have also had the Natural, how noticeable is the difference? @chain_gang @SoCal gunner @Brimy

Based on WNYTONY's info, I would expect it to be pretty subtle, but noticeable as I discovered the same phenomenon with QDO50's. The darker the wrapper, the richer the flavor was, so i always requested the vendor choose the box with the darkest wrappers, of the boxes the had open already (and somewhat to my surprise, i think they took the time to do so as i always got nice dark wrappers once i started requesting this.)

From what I remember, it is quite noticable, though I've only had both in the Londres vitola, but would expect the same from all sizes. Highly recommend the Londres.

Interesting its so noticable not being made in the typical Maduro fashion.

I have had a couple of the londres, and thought they were excellent. Kinda forgot about them while shopping. May have to do some price comparison now and possibly switch gears.

@jrfoxx
I don't recall ever having the natural.

Well, after checking my budget, i have to save enough money to ship 2 trades, so the 7000 Maduro is out of reach for now, plus i kinda like the rg of the 4000 better anyway, and I'm sure I will love it.

Maybe get a Maduro next month if i find them available. This series doesn't seem to stick around long.
