Padron 2000 Robusto Maduro Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Sunday 20 December, 2015 by Thomas

cigar looked very rough, very toothy and veiny. The foot was loosely packed with stem like parts poking out. When I cut the cap it produced lots of dust and chunks that kept getting in my mouth right through the smoking. The draw was very loose. Very high smoke production which smelled lovely. Started off peppery with no other real flavours, after a few draws it became apparent that there was an very loosely packed bit running right through the center of the cigar. A little sweetness and coffee did show up for a couple of draws but was overshadowed by hot bitter taste. Tried to smoke as slow as possible but I guess the build quality totally ruined any flavours I might have got. Hopefully I just got a bad one but I won't be buying another to find out. Burn was all over the place. I thought Padron were meant to be a higher end non Cuban but it looked more on par with a Jose l Piedra.
