Padron Londres Natural

[RichG]

I just received a shipment of these box pressed coronas in the mail this afternoon. With taxes and shipping in the US these ended up being around $6/per in a box of 26.

Smoked my first one this afternoon and I found it to have simple deep, earthy, cocoa characteristics with subtle notes of sweetness. 
 

It was very simple and enjoyable and presented with a perfect draw and razor sharp burn, as would be expected from Padron. 
 

First impression is that these may end up in my rotation as a cost effective and simple go to.

Has anyone else tried these, and if so, what were your opinions? I am presuming these are same/similar blend as balance of the X000 series?

I've never tried one of those but I'll look for a couple to try on my next stop into a B&M. Funny that petit coronas are my staple in CC's but I rarely smoke NC's of that size.

This is my favorite Padrón. It has an ideal size for me, and when comparing with several of the other vitola in both wrappers I keep finding the Londres natural to be best. I've also tried a few of the 1964 vitola, but find those further towards full end of the spectrum. The only contender I found is the 1964 exclusivo natural but a combination of price and larger RG tips the scale towards londres for me.

The flavors you describe are accurate to what I find. Some of them offer a bit more pungency (spice/pepper) than others but not by much. So all in all, I will be buying a few more once the eu retailers see new stock.

I wish that I could be like you

I'm a big fan of the Padron Palmas. Same ring gauge just a little longer. I get the same flavor as you. I use to be able to get a box of 26 for $119 shipped. Miss those days.
