All day we were working on a neighborhood that had been burdened by a burgler for about a month now. So we finally caught him today after 12 B&E's, and a couple of search warrants later had most of the stolen property back. (laptops, PS3's, etc.) I decided to make a nice dinner, (Linguine and Vodka sauce) and follow it up with a good cigar. My cigar tonight in a Padron 1926. Here we go!!
I poured a Sam Adams Winter Lager and grabbed a 1926 out of my humi. This is the first one I have ever smoked so be kind as I don't have anything to compare it to. I have to say this thing was a flawless, absolutely beautiful cigar. The serial number is 976336 on the band. I clipped the head and tasted sweet tobacco with an ever so slightly sour flavor. The draw offered a little resistance,which was perfect.
Time to fire this puppy up!! I noticed a strong cedar flavor (which I love), with dark chocolate and black coffee. Classic Padron (to me). I would say it was on the lighter side of medium in body.
Going into the first third the ash was as white as I had ever seen on a cigar, and very solid to the touch. The tooth on the ash was obscene, it looked like it had goosebumps! The burn was perfect as well, almost razor sharp.
In the second third the body picked up a little but I would say it was still in the medium range. Cedar and chocolate were still the stars, while the coffee went into the background. The burn line was still razor sharp. So far a most wonderful smoke. This one's a little blurry as I was trying to capture the toothy ash.
In the final third the cedar flavor was king, the chocolate flavor was all but gone. I detected an almost raw coffee bean flavor coming out. Almost like opening a bag of French Roast beans and taking a big "whiff". Towards the nub the cedar backed off and the chocolate came back in which I was glad because I was really enjoying it. As always the burn never faltered.
I have to say this was the most amazing smoke I have I have had to date. I'm glad I saved this one for a special occasion. But now I'm sad as that was the only one I had.
Enjoy!
