Thanks to a massive bomb<\/a> I received recently, I have some beautiful Padrons to smoke. It’s a tough job but someone’s got to do it!
\nI selected the\u00a01926 Serie No. 2 with natural wrapper.<\/p>\n

As with any ’26 or ’64 Series Padron, it’s a beautiful looking stick! The wrapper is a gorgeous shade of brown with red hues.
\nThere are no soft spots present.<\/p>\n

The pre-light aroma is very sweet and reminds me of Cuban tobacco.<\/p>\n

I cut off very little from the end of the cigar. \u00a0I know from experience that Padrons tend to have a slightly loose draw. The cold draw offers perfect resistance.<\/p>\n

I light it up and the first few draws are very smooth. The body is on the light side early in the smoke.
\nThere is a slight tingle on the tongue with a very long and pleasant finish.<\/p>\n

It’s a good\u00a0cigar in the early stages with subtle leather and spice coming through. I also detect a slight hint of raisins.
\nThe overall body is on the light side. It’s not a flavour bomb at this stage.<\/p>\n

At the 1\/2 way point things remain a little flat. The body is still sitting at low and there is not much to report regarding any complexities to the flavour profile.
\nThat being said, it remains a very smooth, mild and enjoyable smoke.<\/p>\n

At the 2\/3 mark, the body begins to pickup and progresses to medium bodied. The smoke becomes much fuller and rich.
\nThe aroma of this cigar is fantastic. I do begin to catch a bit of a nicotine buzz at this point as the cigar does become stronger as\u00a0I near the end.<\/p>\n

In the latter stages, some new elements do begin to creep into the flavour profile such as chocolate and earth.<\/p>\n

Overall, a very interesting cigar as the body and strength really kicked up at the 2\/3 mark.<\/p>\n
