Padr\u00f3n Cigars has been among the most respected names in premium handmade cigars since Jos\u00e9 Orlando Padr\u00f3n founded the company in 1964. The Serie 1926 line premiered in 2002 to commemorate Jos\u00e9 O. Padr\u00f3n's 75th birthday, with all of its tobacco aged a full five years before blending. The 40th Anniversary was released in 2004 to mark the family's fortieth year in cigars and earned 93 points from Cigar Aficionado along with the magazine's Cigar of the Year honor.
A dark, oily Nicaraguan sun-grown Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. The long-filler tobaccos are aged a minimum of five years before blending, and the cigar is box-pressed by hand in Nicaragua in the Torpedo (6 1/2 x 54) format with a sharply tapered head. Each cigar carries an individually numbered guarantee band.
Full-bodied and richly sweet, leading with dark chocolate and espresso framed by cedar and earthy spice. Roasted nuts, leather and a touch of black pepper fill out the midsection, carried by a subtle natural sweetness. The finish is long and luxuriant, and the cigar stays smooth and balanced rather than turning bitter.
Pairs beautifully with espresso or a macchiato, or with a well-aged bourbon, Highland Scotch or aged rum to match the cigar's chocolate-and-coffee richness.
An after-dinner cigar \u2014 ideal following a steak dinner or alongside dark chocolate, and worth reserving for a special occasion given its limited, ultra-premium standing.
