Description
PDR 1878 Maduro is officially known as the PDR 1878 Recordando a Santiago Edición Capa Madura. To begin with, the PDR Cigar factory is creating some of the most acclaimed cigars on the market. With 3 cigars making the lists of the top 25 in the world in 2013, one making the Robb Report’s Ultimate Gift Guide, and another being nominated for a 2013 Cigar Trophy the PDR Cigar factory and Abe Flores is truly one of the industry’s elite boutique cigar makers.
While this edition utilizes the same internal blend as it’s Natural counterpart, the big difference here is the wrapper. The dark and oily San Andres Grade A Maduro leaf encasing the filler/binder is a joy to behold. The result is another smooth smoking any time of the day cigar with a bit more character. It’s also got some nice flavor notes. Think dark chocolate, spice, earth, leather, and vanilla for starters.
Cigar Aficionado pleasantly claims this cigar is a primarily sweet and woody smoke with a toffee note and toasty finish. The Stick Stickler… “Where cigars are put to the test.” Rates this PDR a very respectable 92. They think this smoke is just delicious with subtle sweetness and traditional flavors. Cigar Advisor feels the construction and draw are ideal, and the profile is steady and entertaining.
The old school Pig Tail Cap is a bonus all cigar smokers will appreciate.
To sum up, PDR 1878 Maduro comes in five popular sizes of 20 count boxes

When PDRs 1878 Maduro garnered a 90 rating, we knew it would be better than good.This blend brings together select Viso, Seco and Ligero tobaccos for a dark, medium-bodied cigar of exceptional quality at a reasonable price. The wrapper on the “Capa Madura” is an dark Mexican San Andrés Maduro, sought for its semi-sweet picante flavor. Inside is a savory blend of Dominican long fillers complemented by a Dominican Criollo 98 binder leaf that bring some spice but does not over power this blend. The smoke is ultra-smooth and well-balanced, with a woody, herbal character, and a suggestion of sweetness on the finish. A great any-time-of-day cigar.
