Padrón Cigars, founded by José Orlando Padrón in 1964, is one of the most decorated names in premium cigars. The Family Reserve series launched in 2008 with the No. 44, each release named for the anniversary of the year the family entered the cigar business; the No. 46 arrived in 2010 to mark Padrón's 46th year. Every Family Reserve is a limited, ultra-premium Nicaraguan puro reserved for the finest and most extensively aged Padrón tobaccos.
A dark, oily and notably toothy Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. The all-Nicaraguan tobaccos are aged roughly eight to ten years before rolling, and the cigar is hand-crafted at Padrón's Tabacos Cubanica factory in Estelí and box-pressed in the Toro (5 1/2 x 56) format. Packaged in boxes of 10.
A rich, complex smoke led by cocoa and coffee over a creamy core, with roasted nut and mellow wood notes filling in behind and pepper on the retrohale. Cigar Aficionado awarded it 92 points, describing a strong core of anise, hearty wood and toast layered with spice before a herbal finish. The softly pressed cigar burns evenly with an easy draw.
Alcoholic: an aged Nicaraguan rum or a wheated bourbon. Non-Alcoholic: a double espresso or dark-roast coffee.
A special-occasion cigar meant to be savored slowly. Allow ~60–90 minutes.
