Thursday (4-30-09). I have never smoked a Padron before. I know...crazy huh? Well I will definitely be trying more. What a very complex and flavorful gar this thing was. This little box'd pressed stick has been sitting in my humi for a few weeks now. I bought it at a new B&M local to me (Club Habana), and I had asked the owner what his fave cigar was...he pointed me to this.
Padron, 1964 Anniversary Series
Wow! I tasted flavors in this thing that I have not had in any other cigar I have tried. I lit this thing up at around 8am on an empty belly. (I smoke cigarettes, so I never get buzzed) What a great cigar this was. It had a definite taste to it that I cannot put my finger on, but was definitely familiar to me...masquite maybe? One thing for sure is, it burned when nosed!, but I still could not resist doing it every other puff.
Good to the last nub...
My after lunch cigar was less eventful than the morning smoke. Actually quite plain.
H.Upmann, Vintage Cameroon
