Padron Londres Maduro
I guess it was Sunday night, my wife and i had just returned for the whirl wild family tour that happens every holiday (even more now that we have a kid), and i had way too much on my mind... and it was time to process.
For me, one of my favorite ways to clear my head, and sort through my soul is on my back lanai with a great cigar.
That night it was the Padron Londres (Maduro). I am an on again off again Padron fan, and to be honest with you i picked up a few of these Padrons to give to those friends of mine who do not yet fully appreciate a truly fine cigar.
With no real intention of smoking these, i reached in my humidor to find that these were all that was left! So i gave them a shot... and wow, was i surprised.
For a 3-4$ cigar i was really blown away with the even consistent burn, the smooth draw, and the great plume... All in all not a bad way to spend a few bucks.
Burn: Even and slow... for such a small cigar it smoked like the big boys
Draw: Even, not too tight- not too loose... to be honest, just right.
Flavor: Hints of leather and coffee
Plume: heavy, i was very surprised by this.
Overall: i would give it a 6.5 out of 10
Price: 3-4$
Label: Brown and white
It's like they say Bobby You can't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes you just have to light it on fire to really see what it's made of!
Jeffrey Dela Cruz said...Fine review. After trying numerous value cigars, I've come to the conclusion that the londres is going to be my everyday cigar for the same reasons you enjoy these cigars.
Bruce said...Note about the price: I've been buying the londres off the seriouscigars web site for 2.30 per single stick or 57.59 a box.
