Cigar Review for Padilla Reserva Toro
My Review
The draw is okay, a lot better than other cigars I've had of this brand. I am having problems with the wrapper unwrapping around the cut but still pretty smokable.
The flavors a little bit of grass and cedar together. Not bad. Getting some chocolate notes coming in about around the 1/3 Mark. Pretty prominent.
About halfway through, the flavors are coming together. Chocolate and cedar are dominating the flavors. It really gets better at the halfway point, pushing my rating up a point.
