Description
The Padron Damaso No. 34 is a medium torpedo measuring 6 x 52 from Padrón's Dámaso line. It pairs an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. Padrón lists the No. 34 as one of the line's two Red Label sizes, offered for a more robust profile than the original four. It is also the only Dámaso with a torpedo head.
Wrapper and Blend
The Padron Damaso No. 34 uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos. The Dámaso was Padrón's first regular-production line with a Connecticut wrapper, a departure from the Nicaraguan wrappers on the rest of the range. It is made in this one wrapper only; there is no maduro version.
Retailers who received the first Red Label shipments in 2016 described them as a slightly different blend from the original four sizes.
Format and Size
The Padron Damaso No. 34 measures 6 inches long with a 52 ring gauge, about 0.81 inches in diameter. Padrón lists it as 52 x 6 in boxes of 20. It shares its 6 x 52 dimensions with the No. 15 toro but tapers to a pointed head, and the No. 32 is the other Red Label size at 5.25 x 52.
Strength and Flavor Profile
TRP lists the Padron Damaso No. 34 as medium in strength. Its flavor notes are black pepper, cherry, dried fruit, charred wood, vanilla, cedar, cream, cinnamon. halfwheel's review found black pepper and spice early over sweet fruit and cherry, dried fruit, charred wood and vanilla in the middle, and creamy cedar with spice to close, rating the strength at medium at most.
Line History and Production
Padrón introduced the Dámaso at the 2015 IPCPR trade show and shipped the No. 8, 12, 15 and 17 in July 2015. The line is named for Dámaso Padrón, José O. Padrón's grandfather and the first Padrón to reach Cuba from the Canary Islands. The original numbers were reported at launch to stand for the ages of four of his grandchildren. The No. 34 torpedo followed in April 2016 and the No. 32 robusto shortly after. All are rolled at Tabacos Cubanica S.A. in Nicaragua.
Who It Suits and How to Enjoy It
The Padron Damaso No. 34 suits smokers who like the Connecticut wrapper but want a little more body than the original four Dámaso sizes, and Padrón smokers looking for something lighter than the 1964 Anniversary. It pairs well with a cappuccino or medium roast, and with Cognac, aged rum or a wheated bourbon. Store it at 65 to 70 percent humidity and give it a few weeks of rest after shipping.
