Padron Family Reserve 85th Maduro
Awesome cigar, started out with a ton of power, started to get whoozy from it. But, after a half inch, it settled down, and turned into one of the smoothest cigars I've ever had. Hints of dry cocoa and a coffee finish, with smoke that was like having half&half in your mouth. Burned perfectly, no touch ups required, ash held on for nearly 2 inches, until I took it off myself.
Later on I had a Gurkha Blue Steel... little to no flavor, partially plugged, had a lot of trouble getting smoke out of it. Razor sharp burn line, but I threw it away after 2 inches, couldn't get enough smoke through it to taste anything. I have a few more and will give it another try.

an Illusione Epernay Le Ferm recommended by Mwlabel. The flavors were great, however the smoke could have been a bit more dense.
Ditto.....
I'm partial to the Oscura myself..but I've tried them all...good construction, and very good flavor!! :jitb:
