Smoke: Nicaraguan BP Padron Anni Alt ~ Maduro Toro
Drink: None
Tunes: None

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Light
Burn: ran fine
Misc: 75 minutes

Pre-light: Maduro wrapper. Nice construction. Has a semi-box pressed shape to it, but not crisp. Faint sweet tobacco taste, and a musty tobacco scent.



Light: Easy. Light draw.

1st 3rd: Leather, and has a sweet tobacco ring to it. However, it has a dry finish like a walnut skin inside the shell. Oily flavors too.



Ash: Crumbly. Only held on for 3/4” before falling off onto my review notebook. Mottled light & medium gray.



2nd 3rd: Mostly the same flavor profile. More mellow now. Medium body. Light to medium flavor. Mild nose exhale burn. The leather & oil are dominant, as well as the walnut skin aftertaste.



3rd 3rd: Oil flavor now dominates the profile. Getting too bitter. A purge seemed to help a little.



Overall impression: Prolly a decent yard-gar for some people. Not quite my cup of tea, and it really doesn’t come close to a PAM…I would seek other budget smokes.

Thank you Smoked! for the chance to try one.

Thanks for the review.

Is the last pic as far as you got?

[Smoked!]

That's a pretty fair assessment. Call 'em like you see 'em. Good post.

Sorry to respond so late. I had to get home and make sure the last pic wasn't screwed up, or a duplicate pic. I can't see any media stuff at work

Anyway, no, I finished the smoke...Hell, if I can fight my way through a DE, nothing is insurmountable.

What does BP stand for?

[badwhale]

I have no idea. British Petroleum? British Petroleum Padron Anniversary Alternative?

I think it may mean Bundle something, Bundle Padron maybe?

I got some from TNT cigars a year or so ago that were anni alts - obviously not a PAM but a few of them had a nice dark chocolateish thing going on - most were under filled & burnt hot.

Certianly would not recommend them

How about Box Pressed? Who makes/sells it?

Yeah....Box Pressed. That makes much more sense, doesn't it? Durrrrrr on me.

If that link doesn't go directly to the cigar, it's TNT Cigars under "alternates"

Ahhh, box press. Hi Mr. Obvious? Long time listener first time caller.
