The Padrón 1926 Series No. 2 Maduro is a distinguished cigar crafted to honor José Orlando Padrón’s 75th birthday, first introduced in 2002. This box-pressed belicoso measures 5½ inches in length with a 52-ring gauge, exemplifying Padrón’s commitment to exceptional craftsmanship.
As a Nicaraguan puro, the cigar features a dark, oily Maduro wrapper that envelops a blend of meticulously aged Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, each aged for a minimum of five years. This extensive aging process imparts a rich and complex flavor profile, characteristic of the 1926 Series.
Upon lighting, the Padrón 1926 Series No. 2 Maduro greets the palate with a harmonious blend of flavors. Initial notes of cocoa and black coffee are prominent, accompanied by undertones of earth and a subtle sweetness. As the cigar progresses, hints of black cherry and nuts emerge, adding depth and complexity to the smoking experience. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering richness that invites the smoker to savor each puff.
The construction of this cigar is impeccable, offering an even burn and a comfortable draw throughout the smoking session. The box-pressed shape not only honors the Cuban tradition but also provides an attractive appearance with its sharp edges and uniformity.
