Padrón Cigars has been among the most respected names in premium handmade cigars since José Orlando Padrón founded the company in 1964. The Padrón Black is the family's most elusive line — it debuted in 2016 as a Smoke Inn exclusive created for José O. Padrón's 89th birthday and has since surfaced only in limited, occasion-driven releases. The PB97 is the line's fourth size, produced as a one-and-done exclusive for retailers who attended the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show.
A Nicaraguan Natural wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. It is hand-rolled as a long-filler Torpedo (6 3/4 x 54) at Padrón's Tabacos Cubanica S.A. factory from specially selected, extensively aged tobaccos, and Jorge Padrón has placed the Black blend between the Serie 1926 and Family Reserve in fullness. Packed in boxes of 10.
The PB97 Natural opens with earth, black pepper, natural tobacco, hay and a bright lime note, the pepper assertive early before the hay and citrus move forward. Through the middle the hay stays primary while the lime drifts in and out over a base of earth and natural tobacco, with the pepper building again past the midpoint. The retrohale adds another layer of black pepper with a hint of lime sweetness.
Pair it with a medium-dark roast coffee or a spiced rum; creamy, lightly sweet accompaniments such as vanilla custard, almond biscotti or white chocolate also complement the blend's cream-and-cinnamon core.
