I smoked my 45th anniversary maduro box pressed Padron last night. Man what a great stick. Fired it up at the first kick off and it lasted me the entire game! 2" ash and consistent, perfect burn, celebration. I will remember that smoke for awhile.
Game was inside my living room (no smoking) so I had to smoke before the game. I had an Anejo No. 55 that tasted pretty good but the burn was off. I had to take triple puffs to get the amount of smoke I wanted. I think it had more to do with storage than the actual tobacco or construction...
I had mine yesterday. I Tivo'ed the game as I knew it would be to loud in my friends bar to hear anything. I watched the game again yesterday morning then I had an LP JD#4.
The cigar had great construction with a flawless wrapper. The cigar was firm with no soft spots. I didn't mind the cigar but prefer the T52. The JD#4 was stronger than the T52 but the increase in strength seemed to come at the cost of less flavor.
