Padrón Cigars has been among the most respected names in premium handmade cigars since José Orlando Padrón founded the company in 1964. The 1926 Serie premiered in 2002 to commemorate José O. Padrón's 75th birthday, and the 40th Anniversary followed in 2004 to mark four decades of the family's craft. Cigar Aficionado named this natural-wrapped torpedo its #1 Cigar of the Year for 2004 with a 93-point score.
A Nicaraguan sun-grown Habano natural wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. Every leaf is aged a minimum of five years before the cigar is hand-rolled and box-pressed in the Torpedo (6 1/2 x 54) format in Nicaragua. Each cigar carries an individually numbered guarantee band; packed in boxes of 20.
An intensely complex, superbly crafted smoke led by heavy chocolate notes framed by earthy spices and carried on a long, luxuriant finish. Coffee, nut and a natural sweetness fill out the profile, with the five-year-aged tobaccos keeping it smooth and balanced from light to finish.
Pairs beautifully with café con leche or a light rum; an oaked Chardonnay also complements its creamy, nutty sweetness.
