2012 PADILLA LA TERRAZA 80TH ANNIVERSARY ROBUSTO MADURO SEALED BOX OF 20

$150.00

That’s one dark wrapper on the La Terraza Maduro. “Maduro” just doesn’t do it justice, it’s as black as a darkroom at midnight. And oily too. 

 

The Flavor

A pronounced, rich leather was the first flavor I encountered in the La Terraza Maduro. Variations in the draw firmness made the most significant impact on this third, with looser sticks tending to be a little sweeter and more peppery. But generally, this portion was a transition from the initial leather to chocolate with a raisin-like sweetness and little espresso.

 

In the second third, a savory, smoky quality appeared. A growing charred wood, chocolate and pepper kept things moving along with leather playing a faint supporting role.

 

By the time the final third started to burn, the wood and pepper had taken over the profile, with chocolate popping up occasionally just to make sure you weren’t missing it. Nearing the end, there was return of the espresso noted earlier.
