Smoke Inn Pompano Beach

Repeated review. The profile consists of leather and dark coffee, with strong pepper coming through on the retro. However, those notes are blended together more smoothly on the large toro. The draw is smooth with an almost perfect burn.

Soon after first light up, I thought the burn was going to run. Luckily it corrected itself after about an inch or so. The flavor profile is a balance of cream, baking spice and wood tones, with a gentle hit of black pepper on the retro. The construction was firm with a nice draw, keeping the burn even once it leveled out at the start.

First time with the Maduro blend of this line. For starters, the draw was incredibly open, which allowed for a massive amount of smoke production. The flavor profile was a well-balanced mix of dark chocolate and baking spices, with a red pepper hit on the retro. Bold yet fantastic cigar.

First time trying this newer brand. The wrapper has a sheen to it with a clean overall appearance. Although it felt a little soft, it smoked very well, with an incredibly open draw and even burn. The flavor profile was a little weak at first, but gradually introduced some coffee notes with baking spice. Subtle notes of leather crept through as well.

An elegant smoke that doesn't change much, staying linear. The profile has a lot of leather with some subtle wood tones underneath. Packed firmly, the construction is solid and enables a slow long burn that remains dead even.

Although rustic in appearance, this is probably my favorite of the standard Padrons. Full of dark chocolate and bold coffee, this one hits the palate just right. The smoke is thick and chewy alongside an almost perfect burn.
