What is so special about this Padron release
The Padron 1926 line was introduced to commemorate the 75th birthday of Jose O. Padron. It is the most limited and sought after cigar rolled at the Padron factory, with scarce distribution and an enormous demand by aficionados worldwide. The blend is fuller bodied then its predecessors and has a full spicy flavor that entices the palate. To achieve this unique taste, the tobaccos used are aged for a full 5 years.
Also, in this line is the Padron 40th Anniversary torpedo, a cigar awarded the "cigar of the year" in 2004 by Cigar Aficionado magazine with a whopping 93 rating. Only 4,000 of these are produced each year.
