Padron redeux

Had that second 7" Padron after dinner tonight.  Much better overall experience!  Probably helped that I was smoking on a full stomach.  No sense of being overpowered this time round, and the cigar had all the characteristics one expects of Padron:  flavorful, good burn, well constructed.  But watching evening fall out on the deck of the cabin, with a single malt to complement the experience...  ahhhhh.  The single malt was actually a bit of an experiment.  It seems to be more or less a generic single malt (at least it's priced like a generic):  McClelland's.  Not memorable, but an easy drinking Highland single malt nonetheless.  I'm happy I tried it, and will likely do so again.  Priced competitively with blended whiskeys, but better.  And there are always more expensive versions for company or special occasions.

Anyway, a very nice way to spend an autumnal evening.

Cheers.   ...   Steve
