Padrón Cigars, founded by José Orlando Padrón in 1964, is one of the most decorated names in premium cigars. The award-winning 1926 Serie premiered in 2002 to commemorate José O. Padrón's 75th birthday and is presented in the family's signature box-pressed format, built from refined tobacco aged five to ten years. The No. 1 is the longest vitola in the series and has earned a 93 rating from Cigar Aficionado.
A dark, oily Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. The refined tobaccos are aged five years or more before blending, and the cigar is box-pressed and hand-rolled in the Double Corona (6 3/4 x 54) format — the longest size in the 1926 Serie.
A full-bodied, deeply complex smoke led by dark chocolate and espresso, with earth, cedar and toasted nuts filling out the middle. Black pepper spice and a natural Maduro sweetness add contrast, carrying through to a long, smooth finish. Cigar Aficionado's 93-point note for the 1926 Maduro describes layers of cocoa powder accented by leather, herbs, wood and a licorice finish.
Pair it with a dark beer or a strong coffee, both of which stand up to its full body and dark-cocoa sweetness.
At close to two hours, this is an unhurried cigar — save it for an after-dinner or cocktail-hour sitting where you have time to let the blend fully open up.
