This is the frist Padilla I have smoked, but it will certainly not be my last! After I spent a heavenly hour and a half with this robusto it shot to the top of my list and I purchased a full box.
The wrapper is a nice chocolate brown color with some distinct vanes, a rough 3 seam cap and absolutely filled with those wonderful little tobacco "hairs."
A quick sniff revealed strong cedar and fruity flavors. after a quick snip a cold taste revealed light cedar, and some vitamin/mineral flavors.
the first third and I was hooked-i immediately tasted distinct coffee flavors with some underlying sourness. I also noted some lovely nuttiness but very little spice!
The next third our love affair continued with heavenly sweet tangy flavors with cedar and coffee mixed in. A touch of spiciness crept in but quickly vanished. Again there was very distinct creamy tobacco flavors that really kept changing.
The final third and the finish continued to be excellent. Again more cedar, sweet tea and the coffee flavors changed to more of a cappuccino flavor.
I thought this stick was very very nice and excellent company for a hot south florida afternoon, I will admit the cigar was a bit too sweet a points but the ever changing flavor really sold me on this stick.
I bought this cigar on a whim while out one evening, only to find out the establishment I was out allowed cigarette smoking but not cigars, therefore I never got to smoke it. Since it was purchased on a whim I cant exactly say the price, but I believe it was in the $8-$12 range. This brand was originally made in the same factor as Don Pepin, but its not my understanding that they are currently being produced from another location, hopefully the change will not affect the performance.
this cigar produced a medium grey ash and burned slightly wavy but mainly straight.
Price $8-$12
Box worthy? already on order
Strength? medium to full
anyone else enjoying these excellent smokes? maybe someone who can describe the old label vs the new one?
