Padilla Habano Robusto
 

Fairly light feel to this cigar although it is solid with only one soft spot. Prelight aroma of tobacco and cocoa. This had been resting about 4 months.

First third - Good draw. Slightly dry initially with not a whole lot of flavor. Mostly leather and tobacco with a faint peppery spice. Not a whole lot to comment on at this point in the smoke. Light flavors complete this third.

Second third - Still a light flavor which is picking up in strength slightly. Flavors of leather and tobacco persist with hints of cocoa. So far it is quite consistent.

Last third - Some sweetness coming through now as well as an increase in peppery spice. Also picking up flavors of roasted nuts. The spice quickly takes control at the end mingled with a small amount of sweetness. Short finish on this smoke.

Although not very dynamic in flavor it delivered with a consistent burn and a mild-medium strength. A pretty decent smoke in my book.

Nice review and photo' Luke. I purchased a box of these back in May 2009 that have been sitting in the cooliodor for a while, and its been about a month since I've pulled and burned one (which will be my fourth out of the box). For the life of me I just can't remember what the darn things taste like at this point. Guess I know what I'll be smoking on Monday AM while watching the sun come up:D:tu
