Padilla Habano

I have had a bunch of Padillas lately, but this one has to be one of the better ones. This was another gift from my friend Madurolover.

The cigar starts of looking like a corojo wrapper with a nice band. The band is very ornamental.

The cap showed a little imperfection, but it did not effect the smoke.

The foot looked like the draw might be tight,but it was not.

The pre-light draw really did not revealed a nutty taste.



The first inch of the cigar taste really grassy and woodsy.

The second third of the cigar is where the complexity really came to the front. I could really taste some nuts and wood. I was shocked the cigar changed as much as it did. I really enjoyed the nuts mixed with wood.

The final third of the cigar started getting spicy and kept the woodsy taste.

The nub of the cigar had a strong nicotine taste. Maybe even a little to much nicotine for me. But, if you like a nicotine ending this one has it.



The construction was great. The ash held well and was nicely white.



The cigar was a good cigar. I would really recommend trying it. I would have to give this cigar an 8.7 on my all cigar list. I liked the changes and complexity, even thought the end had a little to much nicotine the changes out way the end.



I am working on how to adapt the pictures to a smaller size. give me a little time.
 
Nice review! I'm a Padilla fan but I haven't had that one yet. How would you compare it/rank it with the other Padilla blends?
 
Glad you enjoyed it Tw3nty. you know the one I am waiting on you to review. You know, the one with the little black band?:ss
 
yeah him, stewart and Brad all got one. If I would have had enough everyone would have received one. Maybe next time.:tu

Just kidding you! I know that they're scarce, for now. I'd be interested in hearing whether the Casa Royale that Rocky handed out compared to the Black, cause I REALLY LOVED the Casa Royale...

My time with the Black is coming... soon.... any day now...

About to go fire up that mystery smoke you gave me at SC Sit Down!
 
I saw this one at a local B&M the other day. It's bad is an eye catcher for sure. I was curious but this sealed the deal im going to have to try it!
 
May have to pick up the joecigar deal on these. I like a good corojo and have enjoyed most of the padilla cigars I have tried.
 
Thanks for the review, Tw3nty. I especially like the quality photos. Just ordered a 10 pack of these tasty sounding smokes.
 
This review combined with 4 pages of reviews with only one negative one has convinced me to spring for the joecigar deal today. Very nice review, thanks I hope haha.
