Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Corona Natural: the cold draw delivers scents of earth and spices with a touch of nutmeg. The opening is earthy and peppery.
The first third delivers vegetal notes, earth, and spices (a mix of black pepper and chili). Strength is medium-full (4/5).
In the second third, the spices get richer, with the chili aromas now being the protagonist and accompanied by black pepper, earth, leather, and vegetal notes, the latter in the background. Strength doesn’t change (4/5).
In the final third, the flavor profile is confirmed, with the only difference being that the vegetal component gets more intense towards the end. The strength becomes full (5/5), and the balance is on the razor’s edge in the last puffs. The finale is fulfilling.
Overall, the cigar is structured and boasts a nice flavor profile. It’s a bold smoke, like the other cigars belonging to the 1964 Series. The evolution is linear, and the strength becomes a little overwhelming in the final third.
