Tasting notes
The Padron Family Reserve No. 45 NATURAL presents itself in an elegant format with its 152.4 mm (6") in length and a diameter of 20.6 mm (¾"). Its wrapper, a rich brown typical of Nicaragua, immediately catches the eye with its smooth and satiny appearance, showcasing exceptional artisanal craftsmanship. Upon handling, the wrapper reveals a pleasant texture, promising an unforgettable tasting experience.
From the moment of lighting, the first olfactory contact is revealing. The delicate pre-light aromas of earth and straw blend harmoniously, signaling a complexity to come. As they persist, these initial scents give way to a nuanced mix of cocoa, roasted coffee, and orange, creating a captivating aromatic panorama that invites exploration of the underlying layers of the cigar.
On the palate, the complexity unfolds brilliantly. The three thirds reveal a savory development, where spicy and woody notes combine with hints of nuts and caramel. Each puff delivers a sensation of richness, with a generous smoke volume that attracts enthusiasts in search of depth. The balance is perfect, oscillating between strength and sweetness with an expressive and complex intensity.
The finish proves to be one of the highlights of this cigar. Its mouthfeel is long and persistent, with a subtle residual sweetness that lingers long after the last puff. In terms of balance, this cigar undoubtedly ranks among the best, accompanied by a beautiful coherence that makes it all the more unique.
To fully appreciate this masterpiece, an evening tasting paired with black coffee or bourbon will perfectly complement the evoked aromas, creating a moment of pure pleasure and sharing.
