In my opinion this cigar needs more rest/age. Spice, wood, molasses, coffee, dark chocolate, earth. All great flavors but for the price point I think more time will help make this a better cigar.

This one is a little strong for me. Maybe some time down will help, I’m probably just a wuss. Wonderful Padron characteristics amped up to level 11. Spicier and more bold. If that sounds like something you enjoy this is your Padron. Very good as always.
