Daddy still loves Padrón!
Just had this cigar about 30 minutes ago. I'm still feeling the effects.
The cigar looked beautiful, nice dark wrapper with an oily appearance, felt firm with just a little bit of a spring to it when pressed -- good shape.
I lit it up, and immediately I felt almost sick. The thing overpowered me in the first half-inch or so. I had thoughts of chucking it but i carried on. My mouth immediately got this really "spicy" tingle to it as if I was eating some spicy food, never experienced that before with a cigar. At one point when I took a draw I almost gagged cause the smoke got to the back of my throat for an instant
Finally the cigar seemed to settle down a bit. Volumes of smoke with each draw, very easy to smoke. By about halfway I was thinking it was alright, I could handle it. Then about 3/4 in I started to get that overpowering feeling again. I finally put it to bed soon after that and then (and now) I still feel light headed. I almost considered hanging back at barney_rebel's place for a bit since I didn't know if I should be driving home.
I'm back at home now, feeling a bit woozy. I don't think I'll be having another one of these.
