Tonight, after a stressful but successful day at the test range with a new product, and after fielding phone calls every couple of hours from project managers, my manager, his boss, etc. I was able to tell them late afternoon the product passed and we can ship on schedule. YAY...!! (No stress....right.... 
)
Well, on the way home, I decided to blaze up something special that I'd read about and always wanted to try - a PAM64 torp. I have a few PAM64's that I've been letting sit in the humi and tonight was the night.
A tall, cool Bombay Sapphire and tonic was the beverage of choice.
A snip with the Xikar let even more of the amazing aromas loose. The pre-light smells were awesome. I was really looking forward to this, my first PAM, and I have to say I was not dissapointed. The first inch or so let me know in no uncertian terms that this was a Padron, and something special was about to happen. The first bit was more or less unremarkable, but wow did that change fast. The flavors were smooth, dark, rich and really incredible. All the good things I've come to expect from a Padron were there and it just got better, more intense, smoother (if that was possible) as it went along. Smoked that baby right down until I couldn't hang onto it any longer. The smoke was dense and smelled absoultely wonderful. The burn, in typical Padron fashon was flawless. The draw was open, but not too open; just about perfect in my opinion. Coffee, chocolate, maybe even some earthy tastes were all there, competing for my attention. Only gripe is that it ended....
Wish I could spout as poetically as some of the more experienced reviewers can, but I will say that it was one of the best smokes I've ever had the pleasure of smoking to date.
Nothing like a great smoke and a fine beverage on the deck on a nice cool late summer night after a successful day at work. Did I say "wow" a few times yet...?? It lived up to its reputation and I can't wait to try another.
