From JR Cigar:
This classic Cuban brand continues under the stewardship of Senor Padron. Each one of these cigars is a symphony of delectable Honduran flavors. Impeccable construction, perfect burn and draw, and an enchantingly complex blend of the finest tobaccos. These are arguably one of the finest cigars made in the world today - bar none. An absolute "must try" cigar for all!

Notes:

Well despite what Lew Rothman says, I really can't decide whether I like this brand or not. I've had some really good smokes from them and I've had some real rockets as well. As for the shape of this thing I'm not fan of that either. Sometimes a Pyramid is Torpedo shaped, and sometimes, it's Pyramid shaped. More like a trumpet. That's what this one was. Fat at the foot and skinny at the cap. The wrapper on this thing was perfect, smooth and shiny. And the stick itself was really well made, solid through and through. To be honest I wasn't expecting much. In fact I was fully prepared not to like it. But as it turned out this was a really enjoyable cigar. It burned as even as any cigar I've ever smoked and the ash was solid and white. It got stronger as it burned down to the thinner end but it was never bitter or harsh. Overall I would not call this a strong cigar, it was really a middle of the road smoke. It was good but not great. I was not disappointed when I was done. Would I buy them? I don't think so, mainly because the shape really bugs me.
