Padron 2000 Natural (MRDRW)

[sho671]

Prior to discovering the Vegueros Tapados, I was regularly smoking the Padron 2000 Naturals on mornings I had off. The 2000s aren't the prettiest cigars but their construction is solid. They burn well and the draw is great, though a little looser than the Tapados have been. These also seem to be a bit bolder with some woodi/nutti-ness and slight peppery spice. The 2000s are just right, not too short and not too long, and I always know what I'm going to get when I light one up. I'd say these were Mr. Dependable in the first half of 2020 and Tapados were Mr. Dependable in the latter half of 2020.
