Yeah, so I am sure a bunch of us on the board have heard about Padilla's cigars and the pass here that is taking waay too long.
My 2 cents, this is a fantastic cigar, Padilla is a great guy and I cannot wait to see these hit the stores.
Beside being a member here, also post at CW, CF, cA, ...
Over at CigarWeekly, Padilla has been doing some rescent posting. On his intro thread he invited everyone to e-mail him and he wouls send them 2 cigars, a torp. and a robusto [the 3rd cigar of the brand is a Churchill]. I e-mailed Padilla last week and within 3 days, got a return e-mail and a package with 2 cigars and a neat postcard.
Okay, for a quick review.
Got these on fri, let them sitover the weekend and along with some coold MGDs and a book set out to smoke the robusto.
Wrapper was smooth and shiney, no blemishes. This was rolled by a pro; medium brown, symmetrical, smooth, no veins or rough edges. The cap was fused to the body as one, as if the torcedor took his time to make it perfect. Smelling the foot, I was treated to a wealth of flavor.
After a quick double-blade cut I tested a perfect draw.
The cigar was smoked about 2/3 of the way through.
Nice quantity of smoke
white/greay ash, med-hard.
fantastic taste! let me just say that this cigar I will buy again, no questions asked. if I was not a poor college boy, I would buy a box with no second guess.
the taste was med, a little spicey, with a hint of that complexity one finds in a RASS.
Thank you very much Mr. Padilla, you made my mon. night!

[P.S. this is one of a series of reviews I will be writing, I do not normally review, but so many cool things have been happening lately that I feel the need to raid the humi. this was my pre-production smoke]
