Padrón 40th Anniversary

The Padrón 40th Anniversary is a meticulously handmade 6.5-by-54 box-pressed Torpedo that bears the distinction of being named Cigar Aficionado’s very first ‘#1 Cigar of the Year’ in 2004, the year the critics launched their annual ‘Top 25 Cigars of the Year.’ Twenty years later, Padrón cigars have scored no less than four ‘Cigar of the Year’ titles with dozens of showings in the ‘Top 10’ and many of the highest ratings in the cigar industry. The Padrón 40th Anniversary, blended to commemorate the brand’s fortieth anniversary, is a special occasion cigar worthy of any connoisseur’s collection. Vintage Nicaraguan long-fillers, matured for several years, lie beneath an oily Natural wrapper leaf or a toothy Maduro in a sharp, box-pressed shape that concentrates the flavor delightfully. Relish an uncompromising profile of cocoa powder, cayenne, cinnamon, cedar, nuts, and coffee bean before a long and luscious finish blesses the palate.
