I don't mind if it was a smaller ring gauge, but that size is just.....awkward the draw was too loose. just didn't have a lot of depth to the flavor - felt more one-dimensional.

Not sure what series but honestly all Padrons pretty much are the same to me. I enjoyed it tremendously . But who knows what it is, I could go looking online for exact sizes and such but I believe it is not in the spirit of a review to do that. Thanks for including me in this.
