Default Padilla Hybrid Robusto

This is my first attempt at a review, so bear with me.

I sat in my car at lunch watching the boats on the river as I smoked this tasty victrolla. Right from the starting puffificating; toasty and nutty. This cigar is quite oily. I noticed this as I was feeling it to see if it was spongy to the touch, which it was. As I lit my car gar these oils lubed up my tongue for the flavor reaming my mouth was about to receive. The cigar, a bit loosely packed hissed a little. It went "hisss" as I smoked it. I liked that because it reminded me of my pet snake I had as a kid, Garfield was his name name, not after the cat but after the old President.
Anywhoo, by this time I am noticing creamy notes of cream and milk-fat (also called "cream"). Then the taste of pecans. During the finals the cigar takes on a taste of oregano. Yes, peo-ple: OREGANO. So it reminded me of pizza. I smoked this "bad boy" to the nub. the last flavors I detected were minty and pleasant.

Overall a very slow and enjoyable 40 minutes of smoking enjoyment. An 8 out of a possible 10. I thank you!
