First cigar!!!

[calebnobbe2003]

Ok as I have said before I am new to the whole cigar world.....I smoked my Frist one last night it was a padron. I must say that It was a lot better then I had though it would be. It had a nice smooth flavor. However I noticed that it was not burning evenly, the center would burn down about 1/8 of inch futher then to outter edges. I though that this might be an indication that it was dry. Any advise?

It could be the outside is to wet. What kind of Padron was it? The 1964 PAM's are my fav NC smoke.

Not sure what kind it was.....A friend gave me his collection and it was one that was in a box of mixed singles....is there a way to tell from the band?

Probably just the outside humidity that got the cigar. It happens a lot of me when I smoke in very humid areas.

no, all the bands look the same. If it was a torp, it was probably a 6000 which are nice for a NC and the prices are right.

I don't know I just smoked a 4000 the other day and was very dissapointed in the over smoke of the cigar. To answer your question, it might be the roll of the cigar. If the filler is not rolled tight enough in comparison to the binder and wrapper you will get a tunnel burn. Well so I've read anyways

Congrats on your first cigar! The burn problem definitely seems to be a humidity issue.

Side note: Where you puffing about once a minute?

Also, to me, Padrons are notorious for being a loose cigar. But it could be a number of things simply because it's a handmade product.

I've notice that with the X000 line too

But they always have tons of smoke. So I guess ya get the good with the bad.

Yeah a Friend gave me his collection, and I was looking thru some of the books that he had and started reading about the aging process and they said a cigar should never be smoked in the sick period....so before I grabed one and lit up I came to the experts. :smile:
