Quick Smoke: Padrón Delicias Maduro
14 Sep 2008
Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
As I fired up this four and 7/8 inches by 46 ring gauge Nicaraguan puro, I was reminded of the words of my colleague, Jon N, who lent his talents to Keepers of the Flame for a guest review. “This little cigar has a bit of a Napoleon complex,†he wrote. “It’s short, but it’s rugged and ready to rumble.†I couldn’t agree more. From the prelight notes of sweet cocoa, the earthy taste of leather and black pepper, and the fine physical properties, the Padrón Delicias Maduro is a hearty 50-minute smoke. You can rumble with one of these for around $3 apiece.
Verdict = Buy.
