Padilla Series '68 Corojo

Robusto, smoked on the porch after a good but long week. One of my finest cigars, and an early birthday present.

• Appearance 9 \ very cool label, nice wrapper
• Burn 9 \ one touch-up but that was in some wind. Largely self-correcting even under those conditions.
• Draw 10 \ superb... perfect draw.
• Plumage 8.5 \ solid and richly aromatic despite strong breezes.
• Flavor 10 \ My second one of these, just as good as the first. Woody and rich flavor, but not sweet.
• Overall 10
• RT score 4

Here it is on top of my windblown yellow pad, where I was storyboarding for the Flash wedding site I'm working on for me and Kells.


Here you can see a bit of the serial number, the very cool band, and the rich and oily sheen of the corojo wrapper.


And here's me enjoying the bad boy!

Kudos on a terrific gift! Great way to kick off the weekend.
