Padron Family Reserve No. 50 Maduro Robusto (5 x 54) Cigar

Padrón Cigars has been among the most respected names in premium handmade cigars since José Orlando Padrón founded the company in 1964. The Family Reserve series is the pinnacle of the family's craft, honoring milestone years with special vitolas built from tobaccos aged a full ten years. The No. 50 commemorates fifty years of the Padrón family in the business and was named the #7 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado in 2014 with a 94 rating.

A dark, oily Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over aged Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro grown on the Padrón family farms. The tobaccos are aged a minimum of ten years before rolling, and the cigar is hand-rolled as a long filler and box-pressed in the Robusto (5 x 54) format. Box count: 10 cigars.

A rich, full-bodied smoke steeped in notes of deep earth, coffee and Padrón's trademark cocoa bean character. Pepper and spice lead off before giving way to dark chocolate, leather and cedar, with a sweet, creamy finish. Thick, heavy smoke and layered flavor from light to nub.

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.
