Padron 2000 Robusto Natural Cigar - Box of 26

A good cigar, I was slightly worried when I chose this cigar as it felt slightly dry and a touch loosely packed but I pressed on and was not disappointed. The pre light smell was of cocoa and a bit of farmyard, on lighting it was very peppery which worried me as I dont like too much pepper but again I soldierd on. The pepper faded after 5-8 minutes into dark chocolate which stayed until the end where caramel and cream faded in and out. The draw was good as was the burn with no correction needed. A lovely lovely cigar if you persevere with it. There are better cigars for the price but not many.

Pre light aroma is a faint coco and barn yard type smell. For this cigar I used a punch cutter and disscovered this isn't the best cutter to use as there is only one cap so make sure you use a guillotine cutter to prevent the cap and wrapper from cracking. After I had removed the tobacco from the cap I took a draw which was excellent with only a touch resistance. First light flavours is a straight aged tobacco core with a hint of pepper on the retro hail the finish Carrys the tobacco taste and slowly develops into a creamy type of note. Second third draw reveals a sweet coco and caramel on the draw with a slight pepper. The finish is still a creamy aged tobacco Final third the coco has faded off with the caramel and cream on the draw the cream Carrys over to the finish along with age tobacco finished off with a slight liquorice. Overall I love this stick full of rich desert like flavours the body is medium ash holding 2inch at a time with no burn problems.
