Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro — Still the Benchmark

Brandt is the owner and operator of Honest Ash Hell — I know, a big title 'round these parts. I enjoy cigars (obviously), a good craft beer or wine, and some football. If I'm not doing one of those things, I'm sleeping. I've enjoyed cigars off and on for about a decade. This, my brainchild, came from an incessant annoyance with people describing over-the-top tasting notes that are 100% bullshit. No, you can't taste first cuts of hay in your cigar, nor can you tell the ambient temperature of when your tobacco was harvested. I promise I'm not jaded and cynical, regardless of what this may tell you.
