Padrón Cigars, founded by José Orlando Padrón in 1964, is one of the most decorated names in premium cigars. The Family Reserve series grew out of private Padrón cigars once rolled from the family's oldest tobaccos and shared only at special-occasion dinners, never sold at retail. The No. 45 Maduro reached cigar shops on September 8, 2009 — the 45th anniversary of the company's founding — and was named Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year with a 95 rating.
A dark, oily Nicaraguan Habano Maduro wrapper over aged Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. The Family Reserve blend uses specially selected tobaccos aged roughly ten years — among the oldest leaf the Padrón family keeps — and is handcrafted at Tabacos Cubanica S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua. It is box-pressed as a sharply squared parejo Toro (6 x 52) and packed in boxes of 10 with individually numbered double bands.
An intense, concentrated full-bodied smoke led by rich dark-roasted coffee and dark chocolate, with earth, leather and cedar underneath. Hearty spice and black pepper build through the cigar, balanced by an underlying sweetness with notes of caramel and dark cherry. The draw is easy and the smoke thick and creamy, leaving a rich coating on the palate.
