Padilla/Studio Tobac Figurado.

[guado]

Well this much anticipated stick finally landed into some hands and hopefully more reviews will be posted soon. I smoked this with no drink. Not even water.

The stick is a beautiful and oily dark brown. The one I chose to smoke today had what seemed like a cut in the wrapper with at the fattest part of the cigar. Did not affect the smoke whatsoever just made a note of it. None of the other ones had any blemishes. (small blemish can be noted in the ashed nipple pic)

This cigar was VERY firm and almost scary. I thought it was going to smoke with a very firm draw. To my surprise the draw was perfect. Just enough resistance to let you know you are drawing on a well crafted cigar. It seems as if the Oliva V figurado molds were used for this stick. I could be mistaken.

The smell of the unlit cigar was that is a tangy sweet barnyard if you can imagine that! LOL

The nipple of the figurado lit neatly and it burned onto the fat part with minimal runs.(I usually never light this size correctly and it runs badly).


The smoke was minimal until it did open up to the larger part of the cigar, which I did expect. Once it opened there was a spice in the forefront along with what I describe as a ducle de leche that was just slightly overdone. You could also describe it as the crust on a slightly over done creme brulee. Some note of hay were also noted.
