Padrón Dámaso No. 12

The Padrón Dámaso No. 12 offers Padrón craftsmanship in a compact, approachable Robusto format. Measuring 5 inches with a 50 ring gauge, it provides a balanced smoking experience with the creaminess associated with Connecticut wrappers and the underlying character of Nicaraguan tobacco.

Unlike Padrón’s famous box-pressed Anniversary cigars, the Dámaso collection uses a traditional round construction. Its Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper creates a lighter appearance and smoother opening, while the Nicaraguan binder and filler provide enough earth, nuts, coffee, wood, and spice to prevent the cigar from becoming one-dimensional.

The line honours Dámaso Padrón, the first member of the Padrón family to arrive in Cuba from the Canary Islands during the late 1800s. It represents a milder direction for a company traditionally associated with dark, rich, and full-flavored Nicaraguan cigars.

Customers searching for Padrón Dámaso No. 12 Pakistan can now order this premium Robusto locally. Its manageable size, approachable strength, and balanced flavor profile make it suitable for newer cigar smokers as well as experienced enthusiasts seeking a shorter, milder Padrón.

Cigar Aficionado Rating

The exact Padron Damaso No. 12 has received several scores from Cigar Aficionado across different tasting periods. Its highest published score is an impressive 93 points, awarded in August 2021.

A subsequent February 2022 review awarded the cigar 92 points and described it as a medium-bodied, flavorful example of how Padrón can create a milder blend without sacrificing character.

The August 2024 review scored it 88 points and highlighted its even burn, creamy smoke, vanilla, citrus, cedar, and herbal finish. Variations between ratings are normal because cigars are reviewed at different times and may come from separate production batches.

Tobacco Composition

Wrapper: This Padron Ecuadorian Connecticut cigar features a thin, golden wrapper that contributes cream, vanilla, cedar, citrus, toast, and gentle sweetness.

Binder: The Nicaraguan binder supports the cigar’s construction while adding light earth, wood, pepper, and roasted tobacco.

Filler: Nicaraguan filler tobaccos create the flavorful core of the Padron Damaso 12 cigar. They provide nuts, coffee, herbs, cedar, and mild spice beneath the softer Connecticut-wrapper qualities.

The combination produces a Padron mild to medium cigar that remains smooth and accessible while retaining enough complexity for more experienced smokers.

Strength and Smoking Character

The Padron Damaso 50 ring gauge creates a balanced ratio between the Ecuadorian wrapper and Nicaraguan filler. Compared with the larger No. 17 Churchill, the No. 12 offers a more concentrated experience in a shorter format.

Strength begins in the mild range and gradually develops toward mild-medium. Creamy smoke keeps the pepper and earth controlled, while the compact Robusto dimensions allow the flavors to develop without requiring an extended smoking session.

The Padron Damaso Robusto is particularly suitable for an afternoon smoke, an after-dinner break, or occasions when a full Churchill would require too much time.

Flavor Profile

Opening: The cigar begins with cream, toasted bread, cedar, vanilla, and a light touch of white pepper. A subtle citrus note adds brightness.

Middle: Almond, coffee, herbs, graham cracker, and seasoned wood become more noticeable. The smoke remains creamy, while the Nicaraguan filler introduces slightly more depth.

Final Section: Cedar, roasted nuts, black tea, pepper, and earth move forward. The strength increases gently without becoming harsh or overpowering.

Finish: The finish is clean and moderately long, leaving impressions of vanilla, citrus peel, cedar, herbs, and light pepper. Individual tasting notes may vary depending on storage, smoking pace, and palate.

Cutting and Lighting Guidance

Use a sharp straight cutter to remove a small portion of the cap. A punch or medium V-cutter can also work well with the 50-ring-gauge head.

Toast the foot slowly while rotating the cigar. Once the outer edge is evenly lit, take a few gentle draws to establish the burn without overheating the delicate Connecticut wrapper.

Smoking and Storage Guidance

Allow approximately 45–60 seconds between draws. Smoking too quickly may make the cedar and pepper notes sharper while reducing the cigar’s creaminess.

Store the cigar at approximately 65–70% relative humidity and 18–21°C.
