Padron 2000 Robusto Maduro Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 25 January, 2020 by Patrick

I was looking forward to this cigar. The wrapper however vas very rough, almost like a rough grit sandpaper. I punched the cap but the remainder of it soon came away on my lip but this didnt affect the wrapper and there was no unravelling. Lit well, was spicy to start which mellowed to a light pepper, earthy and woody. 2/3rds in, it started to develop flavour of roast coffee and toast with a slight sweetness and it was quite nice but a little too late to enjoy on the final 3rd. The ash held well and held a razor sharp burn all the way to the end. It was also a very smooth, smoky cigar. For the price I can get a similar cigar for a few extra quid which gives me the flavour throughout the cigar that this one only gave me in the final third. I would give it a low rating but I cant fault its construction or burn. Just because its not to my tastes, it might be someone elses and to be fair, its not a bad price for a robusto.
