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
