Padilla Edicion esp. 2006 Achilles

THis cigar has a beutifull brown Corojo wrapper with some showing veins. It looks like it has a great construction and the pre-light pull feels just perfect

Once the cigar is lit and a few puffs are taken the first impression is this will be a very strong cigar due to the incredible spiciness you feel right from the start. A few inches into it though the cigar starts to mellow out a bit with some cedar notes creeping into the mix.

As you progress past the half point the taste is atually cremy with spice, cedar and woodsy notes in it. Now it is still a complex cigar but you are tricked into believeing that it might not be as strong as the initial spices indicated.

The burn is very crisp I did not have to touch it up at all, but the ash is light greay and a bit flaky.


Once I put this down I was assured that the corojo and other strong tobaccos did its job as my headwas a bit light.

A great experience for the more seasoned smoker, but not something I would reccomend to a newb
