This 6×52 stick offers a firm box pressed dark chocolate wrapper with terrific sweet tobacco and spicy aromas. Burn was almost razor sharp all the way down with a perfect draw giving just the right amount of resistance for an easy cool draw. Flavors were plentiful to say the least with many transition points throughout from beginning to end. They were all exceptionally well blended together and smooth, including coffee, cream, earth, pepper, sweet tobacco, touches of spice and hints of cocoa at points. Total burn time to the nub was 1:15. Video on the site.

Good review! I got a box of these from Taboo about a month ago. I have been savoring every one of them!

thanks for the impressions and video. The PAMs are in my top 10 favorite list easily. I need to try the torpedo.

Are They Great ROTT Or Better With Rest?

I can't afford to buy enough to try them rested, but I HIGHLY doubt my local guy goes through them at any pace enough that they would be close to fresh. It's a hole in the wall and I get the feeling I was the first to buy from this box in a year LOL!

The one thing I have heard about the Padron Anni's is that if they are rested to long they lose flavor and strength. I read that a few times by different people on this board and others...
I haven't experienced that because I'm to poor to buy a box and sit on them so I tend to by them in singles and smoke them within a month of getting them. They are always good for me ROTT.

I agree that these are good fresh just like Ashton VSGs.
