My New Favorite- Padilla Signature 1932

I'm in the last third of a toro right now (the toro and the churchill are probably my favorites of the bunch). I've been through a few boxes worth of these Padillas, and they're very consistent. They start out rather mild, with a sweetness up front, along with the earthiness and perhaps a little nutty flavor. I really like that the sweetness predominates. The flavors intensify throughout, and a sharpness develops, which makes it an even more interesting cigar. The sharpness is not like the pepper you get from a DPG blue or black, or a Tatuaje brown. It's less in your face. And the 1932 is more complex overall than the DPG blues, but I find a similarity in the sweetness of the DPG blue and the Padilla 1932. The Tat browns are a different animal entirely.

I'm really blown away by these Padilla cigars.

Having said all that, I do have one complaint- the burn is not as even as I'd like, especially with the Torpedoes, but also with the toros (I have to admit that my cooler has been hovering at 67% - 68% RH lately, which may have some impact, but even when it was at a steady 65% I still had burn issues). I corrected the burn three times on this toro tonight- major corrections because I always hope against hope that these things are going to fix themselves. However, it's a small price to pay for enjoying such a great cigar.

Maybe the best thing about the Padilla Signature 1932 is the price at which they can be purchased. The sampler from CI is a GREAT deal at $85 for twenty cigars, and the box price of around $100 on CBid is also terrific! Let's hope we can always find these cigars at such bargain basement prices. For my money, the Padilla 1932 ranks right up there with the Tatuaje brown label cigars.
