Padrón Black cigars are not your average Padrón. And Padrón is not your average cigar. Among the best of the best, this company knows how to create a world class smoke. For many, they are the pinnacle of cigars, with an unmistakably satisfying and delicious flavor profile that you can taste as soon as you light up.
This is something a little different.
Padrón Black cigars are a bit of a special purpose blend for the company. One of those purposes is to stock the Cigar Rights of America Freedom Samplers that come out each year featuring cigars from a number of leading companies. The package is put together with proceeds supporting and organization that lobbies to protect the rights of the cigar industry and stogie consumers. Often, the cigars in the CRA samplers are exclusives. But if not, they’re at least something a bit special, even if it’s only a change in shape/size for a popular blend.
Padrón Black cigars offer something you won’t find in much of the other stogies from the company. Unfortunately, the exact specifics of the blend are undisclosed. One might guess there’s Nicaraguan leaf in there, and that the wrapper is a maduro, but we’ll leave that for the analysts. We have no problem just experiencing a cigar on its own terms.
The “terms” for the Black blend are interesting. Instead of that smooth chocolate-covered raisin profile that the company has built its famed reputation on, you’re getting something more in the direction of spice. It’s black pepper, complemented by woody campfire and notes of grilled meat. It’s a hearty, flavorful smoke that will waken your tongue and challenge your senses. Retrohale it, if you dare!
Padrón has a wild side, and that wild side is right here.
