Padron took a gentler turn with the Dámaso line, and No. 12 makes the point nicely. This 5 x 50 Robusto from Nicaragua pairs an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler for notes of cream, caramel, cocoa, cedar, and sweet spice in a mild to medium smoke. Smooth, tidy, and full of flavor without ever getting pushy.
