Padrón Cigars, founded by José Orlando Padrón in 1964, is one of the most decorated names in premium cigars. The Family Reserve series is the family's most exclusive offering, drawn from their oldest and most select tobaccos; the No. 50 is the fifth installment in the series, released to commemorate fifty years since the company's founding. Offered in a single box-pressed Short Robusto format and packed in ten-count boxes, the Natural was named the #5 cigar of 2015 by Cigar Aficionado.
A Nicaraguan Natural wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. Every component is grown on the Padrón family's own farms and aged roughly a decade before rolling. Hand-rolled as a long-filler, box-pressed Short Robusto (5 x 54) and packaged in boxes of 10.
A medium- to full-bodied smoke built on cedar, coffee, cocoa bean and almond, with black pepper and a subtle cherry-like sweetness. Reviewers describe an evolution from early pepper, natural tobacco and honeyed sweetness into richer cedar, cocoa and espresso. The long aging shows up as a velvety, creamy texture behind the depth.
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.
