Padilla Signature 1932 Lancero
It was a very nice day today with temperatures in the low 60s and a nice breeze blowing. I tried to catch up on some reading when the mailman dropped this off. This lancero is nearly flawless in appearance and has an exceedingly rich wrapper and a pre-light smell that is something to be hold. The draw was very tight and I used a toothpick to loosen the draw, gently working its way until a good amount of smoke came with each draw. The flavor profile on this cigar is amazing. I tasted a really nice woodsy and leather pattern with an interesting spicy, almost citrus undertone that helped make the finish spectacular on this full bodied cigar.
I was able to find a little more information about the 1932 on a Cigar.com article that interviewed Ernesto Padilla.
“ EP: I am actually smoking the new Padilla 1932 Lancero; if you love rich, full-bodied complex cigars I believe everyone up for the challenge should smoke this cigar. It is full-bodied yet smooth and its tobaccos have been specially fermented by Pepin to bring out the rich Cuban-styled aromas that compare to Bolivar brand made in Cuba. The 1932's will be offered in many sizes: Robusto, Torpedo, Churchill, Toro, Lancero and a unique 4.5" X 40 Perla size. Each size in the line is unique and worth exploring.”
This was one of the most flavorful NC cigars I’ve smoked. I ended up nubbing it after an hour and forty-five minutes.

This is a wonderfully presented cigar with a good spicy pre-light smell to it. The burn was fine, but I found the draw to be a bit loose. The taste had some good spice notes to it, but nothing compared to the LFD DL. The complexity that this cigar produced only showed up toward the midway point. I tasted some nice earth notes with a solid taste of cedar on the finish that complimented one another quite well with a slight creaminess that I found to be muted on the finish along with some spice. A good cigar that age will probably be very kind to.
