When the Padilla Dominus cigar first rolled out in 2009, the brand marketed it as its strongest release to date. Dominus translates to “owner” or “master.” And once again, Ernesto Padilla and the team have shown their mastery of Corojo tobacco. Helping power the Padilla Dominus cigar is Corojo 2006 from Nicaragua’s Estelí and Jalapa Valley regions, the latter of which is often compared to the famed Pinar Del Rio growing region of Cuba. A red-hued Nicaraguan Corojo 2006 wrapper sits on top. It’s dark and oily and masterful like this bold cigar.
Growers love Corojo as it’s a high-yield crop that is highly resistant to disease. In Padilla Dominus cigars, smokers love Corojo 2006’s delivery of the sweet and spicy, while remaining extremely balanced. Rated 92 by Cigar Aficionado, you’d be doing yourself a favor by taking this stick for a test drive. Expect notes of leather, black cherry, chocolate, and sweetness.
Such a complex, full-strength cigar is ideal for those times when you need a quiet place to replay a conversation or event in your head to come up with the best course of action to resolve the issue. If that seems too heavy, grab a nice bottle of whiskey, your cutter, and lighter and enjoy every last puff from this masterful cigar.
Please enjoy Padilla Dominus cigars at your leisure.
