Padron Anniversary Natural 1964 Corona (?)

Yesterday evening, I smoked a Padron Anniversary 64 Natural, I think it was the Corona.

This a very classy looking smoke. The construction is obviously top-notch, the aroma is amazing, mouth-wateringly spicy, the draw was satisfactory if a little bit tighter than I like, the burn was excellent.

Between the 42 ring gauge and the tightness of the draw, I wasn't getting the volume of smoke I wanted, and when I puffed on it, it quickly heated up to the point that I needed to set it down in the ashtray for a couple of minutes to cool down.

What seemed to be missing was the flavor. Maybe it was because I had smoked a cigar in the morning, or maybe it was the strongly flavored beer I had drunk earlier in the evening, but this cigar just seemed to be completely missing in the flavor department.

I'm not giving up yet. I want to try the Torpedo to see if larger ring gauge will give me the volume of smoke and the flavor I'm looking for.

cigar no baka

I've smoked a half dozen 1964's and all have had a great taste, so you should try them again, maybe something was just off with your palatte that day. Or maybe they're just not for your tastes, so try it again.

The torpedo is actually my favorite in the Padron 1964 line.
