Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - View Single Post - Padron Family Reserve #44: WAY at the top of the list. Serious C-****

I bought a box 6 months ago and tried the first one tonight.

It was a strange experience, especially for a Padron. The burn was lousy at first, very uneven and difficult draw. Very spicy, almost hot. As I smoked it down, it got better at times, but it never had complexity. Strong but not interesting.
Hopefully letting these sit longer will pay off. Had I tried this as a single, I never would have bought a box. Normally I don't have to think twice about buying high end Padrons.
