    Default Padilla 1948 ~ Churchill

    ashauler's review

    Smoke Padilla 1948 ~ Churchill
    Drink(s): Yuengling Porter
    Tunes: Dire Straits (Dire Straits, Communiqué, Love over Gold)

    Wrapper: Corojo
    Draw: Medium throughout
    Burn: Even with small cone throughout, Runs good by itself, no burn but no problems.
    Misc: 90 minute smoke, Nose exhale exhibits medium burn.

    Pre-light: Light weight, medium brown. Very firm. Prelight taste ~ not much of anything. Speckly satin finish.



    Light: Easy. Medium draw.

    1st 3rd: Light body. Buttery mouth feel, a little sweetness, and some pepper on finish. Flavor changes to some leather hints. Porter a nice compliment



    Ash: Shrinks to maybe 85% of ring gage. Gray & charcoal mottled & flaky. Weak as it fell of about 3/4" in.



    2nd 3rd: Some oil now. Butter mouth feel still there. Still light body, maybe a little more medium now. Pepper gone. Sweetness gone and leaves an oily aftertaste. Super smooth.



    3rd 3rd: Its official. I'm enjoying this smoke. Same flavor profile as 2nd 3rd. Oily, smooth, light to med body. Good burn. Into the home stretch!



    Overall impression: Very good smoke. Glad I made a 5er trade.... you know who you are Score: Mid 80's

    Nice review. I've only had the 1932. Looks like I'll have to look for the 1948 as well now.

    It did kind of surprise me the mildness of the cigar. It was a welcoming experience.

    Thanks!

    Thanks everyone.

    Plus! this gives me a great reason to routinely add another smoke night to the week.

    In my rotation, I figured (conveniently) that Thursday would be the best night for me for a review. I usually hang up the Xikar on Sunday night, so by Thursday, my palate is all refreshed & jonesin' for a smoke.
