Padrón 1964 Natural Corona 2020 (FYARW)

[smitte3]

Nice open cold draw of earthy hazzelnut. 

 

1st Third: great start of light hazzelnut latte with earth and that Nicaraguan sweetness. I’ve been able to get the ash pretty long on these, but am outside on the roof today so anything can happen. Medium-light in flavor and body.  Pairing coffee mixed with hazzelnut creamer. Fave morning pairing outside a classic Monte or PL-anything. 

 

2nd Third: just when I thought I was off to a great start...a little gust of wind beheaded the first ash at a bit over an inch. Good thing this thing can regenerate extremities like an Iguana. It’s a Padron 1964, you know what’s going on here. Consistent flavors persist with a hint more body and flavor coming out. Burning very fast, at this rate it’ll last a mere 30 mins.  Got a good 2nd leg going on this one that detached around 1.5inches in. Since these are so loosely packed that about as good as I’d expect. 

 

Final Third: not burning as fast in the 2nd half, but got here in a mere 28 minutes😂🤣🤣 Good last third, all-in-all 50 minute burn time. Ready for the weekend. TGIF!
