Yes, 6000 not bad. Like all regular Padron cigars production.
Very good but over priced due to shape IMHO. I'd just buy the 3000. Similar flavor profile, similar size and less money.
What Mark said. If you really like belicosos/torpedos, then you're paying the premium for it. Otherwise, the 3000 is a better buy.
Did you get Maduro or natural?

Beauty about the Padron x000 series is they make just about any size and shape you'd want. I'm partial to the skinnies, not just because that's what I prefer, but also they don't sell as well, so it's easier to get a box with some age on it
I have a few boxes of the 2000 in various stages of aging, but one unsealed in it for the long haul. They are really good once you get 2+ years on them, but even better after 5. They are also good to smoke whenever - but the x000 line ages very well.
Hard cigar to beat for the cost of most of the line, IMO.

Padron makes a good cigar that is fairly affordable as opposed to their anniversary series which are terribly overpriced.
And inconsistent as all hell. Have had 45th and 80th Padron Aniversarios that were brilliant and some that were nothing but a peppery mess. One is much better off buying the x000 series line and aging it vs. paying for the aged hoopla.
Yeah, they're a good choice, I think! In the core line, you're basically just choosing your shape. For me that's usually the Londres (corona), Palmas (Lonsdale) and Panatela sizes along with the 3000 and 4000. The 6000 is a nice size too. In my experience, the Maduros are a bit more strong and spicy, and a bit less sweet than the Naturals. I like both. They're not the nicest looking cigars, but they smoke well and deliver plenty of flavor.
The maps are better for the golf course, the wrapper is tougher. I prefer the taste of the naturals.
Same. I haven't bought a Maduro padron in several years. When I get that rare itching for a Nicaraguan cigar, Padron anything Natural almost always works.
My thoughts exactly. I have some with several years on them and they age really, really well.
A fresh box of 6000s arrived in my mailbox yesterday. One of my favorite torpedos less than $10 a stick
