Padron Cigars, founded by Jose Orlando Padron in 1964, is one of the most decorated names in premium cigars. The Family Reserve Series is the family's most exclusive line, made from specially selected Nicaraguan tobaccos aged a minimum of ten years. The No. 95 honors what would have been the 95th birthday of founder Jose Orlando Padron, who died in 2017, and was released in March 2022 as a limited run sold only to retailers who placed orders in person at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show.
A dark Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, making this a true Nicaraguan puro drawn from Padron's oldest, ten-year-aged tobaccos. Rolled at the family's Tabacos Cubanica S.A. factory, the No. 95 breaks with Padron tradition by being left round rather than box-pressed, in a short, thick Petit Gordo (4 3/4 x 60). Box count: 10 cigars.
A heavy, concentrated profile led by a multi-dimensional earthiness alongside toastiness and black and red pepper, finishing with nuttiness and leather on a notably dry finish. Mocha, cocoa and dried fruit appear early on, while retrohales bring deep woodiness and a cognac-like sweetness. Flavor and body both land full, and the wide ring gauge delivers abundant smoke.
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.
