A 5.5x52 torpedo with a veiny, coarse, wrapper, rough, long cap and hard bunch.

An even burn, short, conical coal, mottled white, typical ash, and a very rare for me, too easy draw.

Excellent smoke volume and a faint, subtle, floral aroma.

Of ample richness, medium strength, body and flavor with a perfect balance of earthy, woody floral and slightly spicy flavors.

No sweetness, bitterness, burn on the tongue, sharpness or saltiness and a generous finish of earthy, and floral flavors with a light spiciness.

An overall excellent character and just an excellent cigar. Really only lost a couple points in a few categories, with the majority in the construction/appearance category. A final score of 92 out of 100.

I friggin love cigars

Though it appears to have lost some oils to the cello, I'm glad to hear it was still enjoyable. I was not a fan of the temporary Padron transition to 26 count boxes. Perhaps someone with a deeper knowledge of Padron will know why they temporarily switched over and eventually switched back to the 25 count boxes with hinge and clasp. I think the wood may have been too wet when the 26 count boxes were packed and wrapped.

My friend Frank agrees with your review. He enjoyed these too.

Yeah, i think that based on how yellowed the cellophane was after only 15 years, and the wrapper being very dry and rough, that you are correct about it losing some oils.

Still an excellent smoke though. I definitely enjoyed it. Very smooth and mellow.

Looking forward to the Londres you sent also. Curious how they compare.

So far, everything you sent has been enjoyable to some extent, with a number of excellent standouts.

Not sure why yours have been so much better than other well aged nc's I have been sent. My only guess is that they were better cigars to begin with and thus aged better.

I've mentioned this before. Probably because of box aging and most importantly LUCK.

Yeah, I do recall our brief discussion of how you kept them for aging, and nothing special that I'm sure everyone else hasnt done came up.

Seemed like typical storage was it, not anything special.

Very well could be luck, quality of cigars, perfectly stable temperature and rh in your walk in, etc

Just find it interesting with the huge difference in scores with yours.
