The first thing to note is that the draw is absolutely incredible. This is essentially a perfect draw. This has a little bit of rubber to it, not in a bad way if you can imagine that though…
The cigar has a great draw and very earthy flavor. Lots of wood notes and cedar and much darker notes too. About halfway through, the flavors really start exploding and become truly great.…
Very good draw and good smoke production, has a very dry taste to it. Getting some grassy notes right from the beginning. Not much else at this point. Maybe a little bit of earth. I am 38 m…
The cigar has a red label, good looking wrapper. Nice arombo before I even start smoking it. Kind of a sweet smell on the tobacco before I've lit it. Let's see how it turns out. My perspect…
Very nice cigar. Lots of campfire flavors, wood, a bit of caramel and chocolate. If it had a better draw it would be a real gem but even without the perfect draw on the flavors are really v…
Amazing construction, amazing draw. Great flavors immediately hitting you from the very first puff. You don't have to wait for anything to develop with this thing. Getting notes of wood, pl…
The draw's a little bit tight. Not terrible though. I can still smoke it. Fortunately the smoke output is still really good. Starting off with a bunch of Woody notes. A hint of cardboard. L…
Good construction, great flavor right from the top. Woodiness, leather, fermentation. Motor oil. Off to an amazing start. 20 minutes in still great. Similar flavors as before. Draw and burn…
Decent dry. Very traditional cigar flavors at the beginning. Getting some cardboard flavors at the beginning. I'm 22 minutes in right now it just still tastes like cardboard. Just a sweeter…
Construction is good just like all padrons. Very nice velvety flavored smoke. Lots of rich flavors. This is about 40 a bucks a stick, I think it's worth it. In my opinion it's better than t…
It's got a very earthy flavor. Earth Earth Earth. About 30 minutes into it, still earthiness is the one note I can really say this has although it's getting more complex and deeper and rich…
A nice powdery smell. And some flowery smells in there as well but a little bit more silver than the powder smell. 35 minutes in and it's still going pretty strong. An hour in and still ver…
Starting off with a little bit of a hay flavor. Not much going on at this point. Still at the very beginning. We'll see how it develops from here. About 25 minutes in, a bit less than a thi…
I'm at the beginning of the cigar right now. The draw is amazing. One of the best draws I've had in a long time in a cigar . Very smooth flavor profile. A little bit of woods. Maybe a littl…
One very important note about this particular version of this particular cigar is that it has been aged 20 years in a humidor so I'm reviewing this particular cigar, not the line as a whole…
The draw is a little bit tight but not terrible. Getting some wood flavor, some hay flavors a little bit of earthiness to it. A little bit of smokiness. Some pencil. Not too much change in…
The draw is mediocre. Smoke production's okay, getting some dark, dark bitter flavors right off the bat. I'm a big fan of those dark bitter flavors. I'm getting a little bit of a leather an…
Good draw. Good smoke production. Good cigar construction. Very nice flavor profile. Kind of gives me a baked bread flavor with a little bit of sweetness. Not too much though. Maybe a littl…
At the very start I'm getting a good draw and great smoke production. Kind of a sweet cedar cardboard flavor coming through at the beginning. Overall a pretty decent cigar would definitely…
