Tonight I tried a Padron, and it was pretty yummy. However, it was quite soft and seemed to have a loose fill. I’m not sure if it’s just a bit dry (it’s had no time in my humidor) or if that’s normal.

In any case, it was like a Fonseca, with all the smoothness, but just a bit more power so to speak. A bit below the Punch in overall intensity, but the draw iscompletely effortless – no doubt due to a loose fill. The experience was very nice.

One of these days I’m going to have to do some comparisons between the brands I like so far to refine my tastes. As silly as I used to find the comments people (ok, Cigar Aficionado) would make I find myself now making them ;-)
