Quick Smoke: Padilla Miami Robusto

Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief verdict on a single cigar of “buy,” “hold,” or “sell.”

Made from first generation Cuban-seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua, this corojo-wrapped smoke has a thick, bready profile of dry wood, pepper, toast, and molasses. It burns well, and there is a noticeable thickness to the smoke the Robusto (5 x 50) produces. This is one of those cigars that I don’t light up very often, but when I do, I always find myself wondering why I took so long to come back. Expect to pay around $8 to $10.

Verdict = Buy.
