Padron 1926 No. 6 Natural (4.75×50)

I rate this cigar at 94. Great smoke! Mail flavors 1/3 black pepper, dark chocolate and cocoa. 2/3 wood,earth, black pepper and cocoa. FIRST THIRD The cigar begins with a mix of musty wood, earth and black pepper. The retrohale is musty wood and light earth. At an inch in, the black pepper has mellowed a fair amount. At an inch and a half, the black pepper picks back up and all of the components are even. The strength in this third was slightly above medium. SECOND THIRD As the second third begins, the musty wood and earth are slightly dry and a bit ahead of the black pepper. At a half inch in, the profile is fairly drying to my palate. The retrohale is now musty wood, earth and light black pepper. At an inch in, the black pepper has a very long finish. At an inch and a quarter, the wood gains some toast. As the third comes to a close, the toast becomes fairly heavy. The strength in this third remained at slightly above medium. FINAL THIRD The final third begins with musty and lightly charred wood, earth and mild black pepper. The retrohale is now musty wood and dry earth. At three quarters of an inch in, the black pepper is very faint. The cigar wraps up with musty and lightly charred wood, dry earth and faint black pepper. The strength in this third remained at slightly above medium.

Smooth, tasty and satisfying
