Have you ever been digging around the old humidor and discovered a cigar that you don’t remember buying? It’s a beauty of a cigar and for the life of you; you can’t remember ever getting it? It’s so nice looking – and smells just fantastic – you can’t help but light it up and try it. That’s what happened to me over this weekend and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. At some point in my life I receive a Padilla Signature 1932. I’d never heard of Padilla before I smoked this cigar but now I’ll definitely be hunting down some of his other smokes. The cigar itself came in a tightly wrapped dark brown corojo wrapper. It was a bit on the veiny side, but it was solidly built and had some heft to it. The smell was akin to a forest with deep woodsy scents and a bit of a mossy undertone. I couldn’t believe this little gem was buried at the bottom of my humidor and I didn’t even know it. I immediately lit this one up and was greeted with a great blast of peppery flavor. Thankfully that didn’t last for more then a few puffs and a delicious caramel and leather flavor developed. This was a smooth smoking cigar with great flavors. I would have been happy if the flavors never changed, but I got another great surprise about half way through. The cigar got even smoother (without loosing its full-bodiedness) with a nice vanilla flavor that perfectly blended with the leather, caramel, and bits of spice. By the last third of the cigar the leather flavor had mild down and a coffee like flavor developed. I tasted caramel, leather, cedar, coffee, and just a little bit of that ever present spiciness to keep things interesting. Even though the cigar wasn’t very long (just 5 inches) it burned for a good 45 minutes and didn’t go out even when I had to leave it to go to the bathroom. Overall these are a bit pricey for every day smokes but worth having a bunch around for a special weekend treat.
