Since the meltdown from holt’s and Don Pepin Garcia leaving Padilla to fend for themselves, we are left with questions on whether or not the new blends can keep up with what the masterful DPG was able to create.<\/p>\n

Today I have the new blend Padilla Miami Churchill to give a whirl(Thank you Dan – MadMonk).\u00c2\u00a0 The new Miami 8-11 is made in Honduras, a definite change from Nicaragua.\u00c2\u00a0 The band is a clear change from the black and red of before.\u00c2\u00a0 I think the new band is rather attractive and serves it’s purpose.\u00c2\u00a0 The construction appeared to be top notch until i started to light the stick and noticed the rather large stem sticking out on the foot of the cigar, as indicated in the picture below.<\/p>\n

\"padillamiami1\"<\/p>\n

Although the stem in the foot didn’t really account for any bad burning or draw issues with the cigar, it was unappealing to see.\u00c2\u00a0 After the cigar was fully lit I got some great spice followed up with a hint of creaminess.\u00c2\u00a0 This was almost starting to resemble the original blend.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 As I continued to puff on the cigar it had a razor sharp burn and ample amounts of smoke.<\/p>\n

The flavors were changing a bit to coffee and some leather.\u00c2\u00a0 The creaminess wasn’t there\u00c2\u00a0 as much\u00c2\u00a0 as the original blend but it was still enjoyable.\u00c2\u00a0 All in all I would have to say that the original blend is better.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe with a bit of resting in the humidor this one may come close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
