Padilla Cedro (Churchill) Review

Padilla Special-Edition Cedro
Size: 7.0 x 48
Price: $4.50

Padilla Cigar Company is a small producer in the Dominican Republic. The 90-rated Miami 8&11 series is probably what they are most known for, although I think that line is now discontinued. The Cedro is not mentioned at all on their websites, so it is probably only available through online discount brokers.

This cigar comes packaged in spanish cedar, and features a Connecticut wrapper. A very smooth, very mild cigar, with an even and loose draw. They are a little too mild at first, but the flavors start to kick in about half way through the stick, as it begins to progressively burn hotter. If you are patient enough to nub it all the way to the fingers, you will be rewarded with a small punch of flavor at the very end. This was not a world-changer, but a nice relaxing cigar nonetheless.

I recommend it with Glennfiddich Caoran Reserve; the subtle nutty flavors blend well with notes of peat in this single malt scotch.

Re: Padilla Cedro (Churchill)

I just got a box of 8/11 Robustos...I think that they're around but hard to find. I've been wondering about the Cedros..thanks for the review.

Re: Padilla Cedro (Churchill)

I've had a couple 8/11s and a hybrid. Both blends were very good well made smokes. The 8/11 was quite outstanding right from first light.A whole box huh? Lucky stiff ...Dave

Got the box from Abner's when they went on sale...I've had them for about a month and I haven't even smoked on yet...they're still resting. I think that may very well change this weekend, though!

By the way, the Miami 8/11 line is still listed on the Padilla website. http://www.padillacigars.com/main.html

The 8/11's may still be around, but I just haven't seen them.

Re: Padilla Cedro (Churchill)

Picked up a 5er of the Churchills on Cbid and letting them rest for a little while. May pull one out this weekend. Thanks for the heads up on this brand.

Re: Padilla Cedro (Churchill)

The extra-mild "Cedros" are produced only for CI/CBid. Pretty "blah" smoke, IMO. I think they skipped the ligero all together in this one!
