Meet the Padron Damaso No.12 - a 5x50 robusto dressed in golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper that's been turning heads as Padron's mildest offering. Priced at $298 for 20 sticks in classy wooden boxes, this Nicaraguan puro surprises with its coffee-friendly profile and silky smoke. The cylindrical shape breaks from Padron's usual box-pressed tradition, wrapped in cellophane like a rebellious cousin at a family reunion.
The cold draw whispers sweet hay through perfectly punched cap. Initial puffs deliver creamy cashew butter with background notes of oatmeal cookie. Smoke output stays moderate - no fog machine effects here. Burn line edges stay sharp enough to slice through morning mist.
At the halfway mark, roasted almond emerges alongside faint honey glaze. Retrohale introduces white pepper tickle without nasal assault. Ash holds firm in snowy layers despite occasional canoe warnings. Body builds subtly from iced latte to cappuccino strength.
Incinya terakhir memberikan nada dasar papan cedar dengan akhiran krim hazelnut. Tidak ada penumpukan getah yang mengganggu pesta, meskipun nikotin berbisik lembut setelah sesi 55 menit. Tetesannya dingin dengan martabat - tidak ada perpisahan yang kasar.
