PAM 1964 #4
As a big fan of the Padron Anniversario Series (1964 and 1926) I was interested in trying the latest offering, the #4. This is a massive cigar (6.5 x 60) and retails for $20/stick. I purchased a fiver to try them out.
Appearance: Dark maduro wrapper that one has come to expect from a PAM. Pretty much veinless and is dry to the touch, almost a powdery feeling. The foot of the cigar shows threads of dark black tobacco interspersed with a medium brown tobacco. Construction: Solid as a rock. Firm with some 'give', no soft spots. Simple cap (as I've noticed on many Padrons.) Burn: Razor sharp. Flavor: I'm used to PAMs having a slightly sweet but spicy and full flavor to them. Not so with theses. I get some wood flavor and....that's it. Tobacco and at times a hint of perhaps menthol. Otherwise, really not much going on here. I've smoked two of these now and the results were the same. I think this may be a case where the additional binder and filler simply overpower that normally delicious PAM wrapper, completely muting its flavor. (FWIW, I was similarly unimpressed with the Smoke Inn SI-15 that was a PAM 6 x 60.) Or perhaps they changed the blend for this...? This is a big MISS in my opinion. Certainly not worth $20/stick.
