Review Notes: I bought this cigar for $2.50 at a local News-stand/cigarshop. The appearance was a little rustic, but I liked the little curly-cue head. Turned out to be a medium-bodied, smooth, mellow smoke, with some notes of cocoa and coffee bean. It was perfect for being at a picnic in the park on a scourging summer day. If you can get these at about $1, which you probably can on cigarbid, I would say this is a good, reliable everyday smoke...as all the Padron regular line smokes are. They are also great to hand out to friends who are not Aficianados. Good even burn, good draw, good balance.
