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 flavor has a little bit of grass and cedar together. Not bad. Getting some chocolate notes coming in about around the one-third 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.
