Padrón 1926 & Anniversary: the Nicaraguan legend
Why Padrón's 1926 and 1964 Anniversary series rank among the most acclaimed cigars in the world.
Few brands inspire as much devotion as Padrón. A family house founded in 1964, it lifted Nicaraguan tobacco to the summit with two cult series.
The 1964 Anniversary series
Launched for the brand's 30th anniversary, it uses 4-year-aged tobaccos. Available in a Natural wrapper (smoother) or Maduro (cocoa, coffee, pepper), it's the ideal entry into Padrón: balance, complexity and flawless burn.
The 1926 series: the summit
Created for José O. Padrón's 75th birthday, the 1926 uses tobaccos aged 5 to 10 years. Richer and fuller, it offers rare depth — dark chocolate, espresso, dried fruit. The No. 1 and No. 9 are benchmarks.
Which size to choose?
To discover, a short Principe (1964). For a great tasting, the 1926 No. 9 (Robusto) or No. 2 (Torpedo). Go Maduro if you love cocoa and coffee.
Add your Padróns to your Youmidor cellar and rate each tasting to refine your preferences.
