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 and is made with some of the oldest tobaccos in the Padrón inventory; rather than continuing the anniversary numbering, the No. 85 was named for José Orlando Padrón's 85th birthday. The Natural version was named the #4 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado in 2012, rated 94 points.
A Nicaraguan natural wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro. All of the tobacco in the No. 85 is aged ten years before rolling, and the cigar carries Padrón's signature sharp box press in the Robusto (5 1/4 x 50) format. It is made at the Padrón factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, and packed in boxes of 10.
A complex and earthy smoke with a touch of herbal character, carrying distinctive black cherry and black truffle notes. The natural wrapper is the color of milk chocolate, and the profile stays balanced and medium in strength rather than heavy.
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.
