Well, this morning, as I was leaving the house, I thought Id dig into my humi and pick out a stick to have today during the morning, before we officially opened for the day ( I usually get to work about an hour before hand, to get some work done, and get ready for the day). My stick of choice was a Padron #3000.
I got to work, cut the end, and pulled out my lighter. Flipped the top of the torch lighter open, and *click* *click* *click*- Damn, no torch.. lighter decided it would quit working... Well, I sure as hell wasn't about to let this cigar go to waste after the reviews Id read of it.. so I jumped into my truck, and used the cigarette lighter that came in the truck.. you know, one of those ones you push in, then wait for it to pop out? Well, it got hot, and I held it to the cigar, and lit half of it, then repeated the procedure. I butchered the lighting of the stogie, thats for sure, but it was lit, nonetheless.
Now on to the actual smoke....
I thought for sure it was gonna burn unevenly, based on the crappy light I got off my car lighter, but I was surprised to see it burn evenly, right from the start. It had awesome billows of greyish smoke, with a coffee and light licorice flavor, with a bit of toasted nuts of some sort mixed in with it. All in all, an AWESOME cigar for the $$, and I loved it. The most fasciinating part of this cigar is that the ash stayed put on the cigar all the way down to the nub... The bummer was that I couldn't smoke as much of it as I wanted, because to smoke the whole thing, I woulda needed a roach clip
Great smoke!
