This guy is my first Padilla and salomon. I was kinda excited to try it being that I never had this brand or shape before. But as the Chines proverb says, "Be careful what you wish for."
Appearance: Kinda of a cool rustic looking shape. I don't know the history behind it but it looks like something a Cuba fisherman would lit up after a long day. No issues with it's wrapper. I did, however, not like the band. It looks like a poster from a 1970's bowling alley.
Score: 18/20
Construction: Again, no big flaws. Feels nice in my hand, no soft spots. Cut nicely. Burn line was sharp and the draw was near perfect.
Score: 19/20
Flavor: Cough/choke/cough...Jesus, what did they put in this thing? It was almost as bad as that shitty Te Amo I had a few weeks back. Nothing but bitter tasting dry tobacco flavor. It tasted like I was eating a cigarette.
Score: 0/20
Ash/Smoke: No issues with these. Ash was nice and stuck for about 1/3 of the stick. Unfortunately, the smoke delivered that ashtray taste with every puff. I could;t take it anymore and threw it away after this last pic.
Score: 10/20
Cost/Value: I looked online to find the price of these things since this one was a gift but I could't find it anywhere. Doesn't matter, could;t pay my to smoke another one of these things.
Score: 0/20
Overall: 47
Shitballs, that was horrendous. I see reviews of Padillas online and some people like them. Personally, I rather be kicked in the balls than smoke another one of these monster. Please excuse me while I go gargle gasoline to get this taste out of my mouth.
