Padron Damaso No. 15 6″ x 52

Damaso is Padron’s milder, Connecticut-wrapped line, a softer turn from the brand’s full maduros, and the No. 15 is its toro. The Padron Damaso No. 15 sets an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, at a mild to medium body.

The flavor usually stays smooth and creamy, with cedar, almond, and a light coffee sweetness. At 6 by 52, the round toro gives an even, easygoing burn.

The mild to medium body makes it an easy daytime smoke. It is sold as singles or boxes of 20, so one is a simple first try. A mellow, Connecticut-wrapped Padron.

Pairs well with coffee, cream ale, or champagne.
