Padron Damaso No 32 comes in 5.25"x52 robusto format, packing mild-medium strength flavors wrapped in an Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf. At $15 per stick (boxes of 20 for $303), this Nicaraguan puro offers coffee-friendly smoothness that challenges Padron's traditional full-bodied reputation.
First Third: Creamy vanilla notes with cashew nuttiness. Minimal pepper - just smooth breakfast tea vibes that pair well with cappuccino.
Middle Third: Develops cedar wood character and faint cinnamon spice. The Connecticut wrapper keeps sweetness dominant despite Nicaraguan filler's earthy potential.
Final Third: Toasted wheat flavors emerge without bitterness. Cool-burning to nub though some find the last inch loses complexity.
Rolled in Estelí using Nicaraguan Jalapa/Condega tobaccos aged 2-3 years. The Connecticut wrapper adds sweetness atypical for Padron's usual Nicaraguan maduro styles. Released in 2014 as the brand's first mild-line extension.
