Zack's Garage

Well, I am back, and on this glorious Memorial Day 2016 I am going to relax by smoking a Padron Maduro 1964 Family Reserve blend.

I should have just cut a little notch on the foot rather than using my cutter because the draw is insanely easy!

It is starting out full bodied and spicy, as I would expect. I suspect it will mellow a bit in a moment. It has been relaxing in my humidor at 70/70 for the past 3 weeks.

This one is for all the shit heads who have a hand fetish.

 

[ZackB]

Yeah, just a few puffs in and it has mellowed into a sweet woodsy flavor. Nice!

 

[ZackB]

It is damn near perfect!

 

[ZackB]

The flavor profile: predominately smoky wood with undertones of nuts and mild traces of pepper.

 

[ZackB]

Oh my... Now there is a good wallop of citrus!

 

[ZackB]

There was a little bit of an uneven burn to start with. But that was due to me trying to light it with a fan blowing on me (it is 92 F right now). Now the burn has corrected itself. Now it is more sweet, smoky wood with the underlying spice, especially on the retro.

Another attention thread from the girly-man

Cedar. This is a complex smoke.

Fuck off, fuck face. I don't want any bible thumping closet dwellers crawling around here while I partake of a Padron.

 

[ZackB]

Cedar, pepper, and something else that I cannot quite identify. This flavor profile is more complex than a Bonzi Pap smear .

 

[ZackB]

Mild spice and cocoa.

 

[ZackB]

Whoa! How did that get in there?!?

 

[ZackB]

I dropped my fucking stick on the garage floor. I have got it cleaned and smoking again.

 

[ZackB]

Sweet, smoky wood, spice, and earth!

Those things stink stink stink!!!!

 

[ZackB]

Wow. A blast of coffee/expresso in that puff. Amazing.

 

[ZackB]

The Family Reserve blend is a real treat. It's like candy.

 

[ZackB]

It started very full bodied, then mellowed to a medium to medium-full, now it is ramping up just a little.

 

[ZackB]
