Review Notes: I recieved on of these for Christmas and decided to save it for new years eve (as I was a little wiped from christmas shopping and wasnt going to shell out for another nice cigar for the occasion). Let me tell you how anxious I got as midnight neared. The beautiful padron signature box press made this baby look and feel like it was one of a kind, and the aroma was so unmistakably light and smooth, it kind reminded me of a cuban cohiba smoked in the rain (if that makes sense to anyone else). Now for the light-up: No problems here, took a single box match and maybe 5seconds to get'er started. The first drag was light and wonderful, and the first 5minutes stayed that way. after a little while it picked up a notch (something for which I am glad) and boldened until it tasted to me like the most balanced cigar in the world. Perfect spice complementing such smokey sweetness, in full plooms of smoke. This cigar seems to really treat its master well. When the nub finally started to go out I was a little sad, but also had inspiration. I had just found a perfect cigar, and now knew that this was the one for me.
