Padilla La Terraza Maduro - mini review

[aroma]

Smoked my first Padilla La Terraza tonight, a maduro churchill, rested 8 months.

My notes:
Well-constructed, excellent burn, decent smoke production. Very meaty/savory, with the aroma of mesquite barbecue smoke, but very smooth, not the least bit acrid. Hints of chocolate and fruit, but they're very muted. Decent richness and complexity.

In general, I like these flavors, but, for me, this blend is unbalanced - it has too much of the meaty/savory and not enough of the sweeter flavors. However, if you like cigars that don't have much sweetness, this might be a home run, and a spectacular deal at $17.50 plus shipping for a 10-pack. If you're looking for pepper, avoid this blend; it has none.

th terazzas can lack complexity, but for a burner on a budget they are great. this also might be one you lose in your box for a year and are pleasantly surprised with later.

Thanks for the review. I'll have to give these a try.
