Padilla Miami Robusto Cigar


Says Padilla: "The Padilla Miami rated in Cigar Aficionado’s top 25 Cigars of the Year in 2005 and 2007. The Miami employs all Cuban-seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua. The dark oily wrappers are a Cuban-seed Corojo that cloaks a robust blend of Cuban seed Criollo and Corojo tobacco. Finished by a triple cap this medium to full-bodied cigar has a flavor profile that is rich and elegant. The aroma is rich and sweet while the flavors offer a toasty woodiness backed by various hints of cocoa coffee and spice. Complex yet masterfully balanced. A true work of art and a savory experience for any palate."
I really can't add much, it's a pretty accurate description of the cigar. I don't know that I tasted "a toasty woodiness backed by various hints of cocoa coffee and spice," but it did contain a nice spectrum of unnamed flavors, perhaps pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, and green clovers, whatever, I just know it's a fine tasting smoke. It's not an inexpensive cigar, but even if you can't afford a box, you may want to consider trying a single or two, the next time you're hanging out at your local tobacconist.
