Padrón Cigars, founded by José Orlando Padrón in 1964, is one of the most decorated names in premium cigars. The 1964 Anniversary Series was introduced in 1994 to mark the company's 30th anniversary and took the brand to new heights, making it a must-have in the humidors of top cigar shops. The Exclusivo Maduro is among the line's most honored sizes, ranking No. 5 on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 with a 94 rating in 2011.
A dark, oily Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. It is made by hand at the family's Tabacos Cubanica S.A. factory in Nicaragua from sun-grown Jalapa, Condega and Estelí tobaccos aged roughly four years, and box-pressed in the Exclusivo (5 1/2 x 50) robusto format.
Rich and toasty, with the trademark Padrón cocoa running through the smoke alongside dark-roast coffee, deep earth and a touch of black pepper. The Maduro wrapper lends a sweetness that carries into a cocoa finish, and reviewers consistently note how balanced the profile stays, with no single flavor overpowering the others.
Its depth stands up well to a spiced or well-aged rum, while a dark-roast coffee or espresso draws out the cigar's cocoa and nutty undertones.
A special-occasion cigar best saved for after a large meal, given its full strength. Expect roughly an hour to an hour and a half of smoking time.
