Padilla Reserva Flight Sampler

Padilla Reserva is arguably the finest cigar Padilla has ever crafted. Rated 93 and ranked as a Top 25 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado, this Reserva blend kicks ass. Ernesto Padilla is an enigma. The guy's an artist with an exceptional eye for aesthetics combined with a tremendous palate who's skilled in the art of blending. Stir in the fact that his father was a famous Cuban poet and friend of Ernest Hemingway and you have all the makings of a cigar juggernaut. And, indeed, many of his blends are up there with the best. Case in point - this gem. Reserva is a dark and sultry beauty, beautiful to the eye with a nice oily sheen. Perfectly constructed, it brings a boatload of flavor including nuts, spice, sweet caramel, salt, and leather with a hint of coffee on the finish. Well-balanced, this medium-bodied blend is the perfect combination of body and flavor for those seeking a smooth, pleasant, yet character-filled ride from start to finish.
