Padron Cigars

Padrón 1926 Series No. 40 Maduro Size: 6½" x 54 Vitola: Box-Pressed Torpedo Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sun-Grown Maduro Binder: Nicaraguan Fillers: Nicaraguan long-fillers aged 5–10 years Tasting Notes:Dark chocolate, espresso, leather, cedar, roasted nuts, black pepper, and subtle natural sweetness Pairing Notes:Espresso or macchiato. Highland Scotch or well-aged bourbon. After a steak dinner or with dark chocolate mousse. Even better following a Cuban coffee and rich vanilla flan. Manufacturer: Tabacos Cubanica S.A. (Padrón Cigars, Nicaragua) Privada’s Take: A Smoke Measured in Generations There are cigars, and then there are monuments—handheld tributes to something greater than themselves. The Padrón 1926 Series No. 40 Maduro isn’t just another blend from a respected factory. It’s a celebration of legacy, lineage, and the obsessive pursuit of perfection across generations. Crafted to honor José Orlando Padrón’s 75th birthday, this cigar was never meant to just exist. It was designed to lead. Each component—from the sun-grown Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper to the 10-year-aged filler—comes from the Padrón family’s own soil. They don’t outsource. They don’t chase trends. They grow, ferment, age, roll, and release only when it’s perfect. That’s why these tobaccos never see the light of day until they’ve been properly honored—aged five to ten years, post-fermentation. The No. 40 sits in rare air—not just as a top-scorer in every serious publication (93 points), but as a recurring name in “best cigar in the world” discussions. And yet... in your hand, it doesn’t flex. It just performs. Flavor Journey:Pre-light reveals cocoa dust and sun-warmed barnwood. The draw opens like velvet—dark chocolate meets espresso crema, met by undertones of nutmeg, cedar, and aged leather. Black pepper and toasted walnuts swirl in the retrohale, but always controlled, never aggressive. As the smoke deepens, so does the narrative: complex, confident, deeply satisfying. This is luxury without arrogance. What makes it Privada-worthy?The No. 40 isn’t just about taste—it’s about access. Time. Patience. Respect. These cigars aren’t sitting in bins—they’re protected like heirlooms until they're ready for the right hands. You don’t stumble into a cigar like this. You find it because you searched for more. And now, like the best collectors, you’ve found it.

Padrón 1926 Series No. 1 Maduro Size: 6¾" x 54 Vitola: Box-Pressed Churchill Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sun-Grown Maduro Binder: Nicaraguan Fillers: Nicaraguan long-fillers aged 5–10 years Strength: Full-Bodied Flavor Notes:Dark chocolate, espresso bean, black pepper, toasted oak, baking spice, leather, subtle molasses Pairing Notes:Rye whiskey, dark roast espresso, smoked brisket, mole poblano, chocolate truffles Manufacturer: Tabacos Cubanica S.A. (Padrón Cigars, Estelí, Nicaragua) Privada Storytelling: The Long Road to Glory When it comes to Padrón, size matters—but it’s not about how long the cigar lasts. It’s about how long the tobacco waited to become this good. The 1926 Series No. 1 Maduro is a 6¾" box-pressed Churchill that stretches both time and flavor. It doesn’t rush. It commands your full attention—and rewards you for it. Built to celebrate José Orlando Padrón’s 75th birthday, the 1926 line is nothing short of elite. The No. 1 Maduro? That’s the deep-cut for serious collectors. It’s the first vitola in the line, and still one of the most limited in production. What you’re holding is a statement of excellence wrapped in sun-grown Maduro—jet-black and oil-rich with years of rest already behind it. What makes this cigar unique isn’t just the construction (which is flawless), or the pedigree (which is undisputed). It’s the experience of time, compressed into flavor. Every tobacco leaf inside was aged for at least five years, and some for nearly a decade—all grown by the Padrón family themselves. This means absolute control, from seed to smoke. Flavor Journey:Pre-light aroma hits you with barnwood and black cocoa. The cold draw is peppered raisin and cedar. From first light, you’re thrown into a rich mix of espresso, dark chocolate, and leather, with black pepper and toasted oak carrying through the retrohale. About halfway in, something shifts—molasses and baking spice creep in, rounding the edges without softening the punch. The final third? A long, lingering finish of earth, walnut, and scorched cinnamon. Why It’s Privada-Worthy At Privada, we don’t chase trends—we chase greatness. And this cigar is greatness. The No. 1 Maduro is what happens when a family doesn’t compromise, doesn’t rush, and doesn’t care what the rest of the industry is doing. It’s slow, deliberate, and designed for people who understand what they’re holding. If the cigar world had a Mount Rushmore, this would be carved right into it.

Created in celebration of José Orlando Padrón’s 75th birthday, the No. 40 stands as a pillar of Padrón's uncompromising legacy. But where the Maduro evokes midnight richness, the Natural brings warmth, elegance, and golden balance. From the moment you hold the crisp, box-pressed torpedo in your hand, you’ll understand this isn’t just premium—it’s iconic. The Nicaraguan Sun-Grown Natural wrapper shimmers with oils aged over time, developing a honeyed hue and an aroma that hints at cedar groves and warm tobacco barns. Every component—from wrapper to filler—is grown, aged, and fermented by the Padrón family themselves. There are no brokers here. No mass-market shortcuts. These tobaccos have been resting for at least five years, some close to a decade, before they ever touch a roller’s table. Flavor Journey:The first puffs bring notes of toasted almond, warm cinnamon, and silky cream, gradually layering in cedar and sweet hay. The retrohale is where the spice shows up: black pepper and light roast coffee, but it never overpowers. Instead, it dances. As the cigar progresses, there’s a sweetness—like honeyed cashews—that comes and goes with the elegance of a waltz. Never demanding, always present. This is refinement personified. And yet, like all Padróns, it draws and burns flawlessly—straight, even, and bold without being aggressive. It’s that rare combination of power and poise that makes this cigar a fixture in top 10 lists worldwide. Why It’s Privada-Worthy At Privada, we chase stories that taste as rich as they read.

Originally released to commemorate the company’s 50th anniversary in 2014, this cigar was named “47” in reference to the founding year—1964—a nod to heritage that only Padrón can deliver with this much quiet confidence. It was first introduced as a TAA (Tobacconists’ Association of America) exclusive, meaning it was never meant for mass market—but instead, for those who truly understood what it represented. Box-pressed and perfectly proportioned at 5½" x 50, the No. 47 wears a sun-grown Nicaraguan Natural wrapper, shimmering with age and oil. Under the hood lies a soul composed entirely of Padrón-grown tobacco—aged between 5 and 10 years—fermented, rested, and protected until it speaks fluently in the language of flavor. This is not a cigar you light by accident. This is a cigar you save—for nights when everything matters and time feels earned. Flavor Journey: From the first puff, the No. 47 Natural unveils toasted almond, cedar, and white pepper with a silken creaminess in the smoke. The retrohale introduces baking spice and mineral-rich earth, almost like the dry air of a Nicaraguan hillside at dusk. There’s a warm honey sweetness on the mid-palate and a note of freshly baked bread that lingers and soothes. The final third melds those notes into a smooth crescendo—flavor without fire, complexity without weight. It’s a cigar that doesn’t shout—it speaks with grace. Why It’s Privada-Worthy At Privada, we don’t just feature cigars—we curate milestones. The No. 47 Natural is part of a rare lineage, created to celebrate a half-century of tradition, innovation, and excellence.

There’s a touch of lime zest on the finish—an acidic brightness that cuts through the earth and spice, keeping your palate awake. Midway through, a soft wave of cedar and pepper appears, reminding you this is still Padrón: patient, potent, proud. Why It’s Privada-Worthy You don’t walk into a shop and stumble across the PB‑97 Natural—you have to know what to ask for. That’s why it belongs here.

(Padrón Cigars, Estelí, Nicaragua) Release Info: TAA Exclusive; first round-format in the 1964 Anniversary Series Privada Storytelling: A Rare Circle in a World of Squares It’s not often that Padrón does something completely unexpected—but when they do, the cigar world takes notice. The Soberano Maduro is a true rarity within the 1964 Anniversary Series—not because of the blend, but because of its shape. While the rest of the 1964 line is known for its signature box-pressed design, the Soberano comes in a traditional round format—a visual and tactile departure that changes the airflow, the combustion, and ultimately, the experience. Released as a TAA exclusive, this cigar wasn’t made for everyone. It was made for those watching closely. Wrapped in Padrón’s iconic dark and toothy sun-grown Maduro leaf, the Soberano wastes no time diving into complexity. The construction is impeccable, and the result is something almost paradoxical: a cigar that feels both deeply familiar and completely new. Flavor Journey: From the first puff, espresso and dark chocolate dominate, followed by waves of cedar, earth, and peppered spice. Midway through, it settles into a deeper sweetness—molasses, toasted almonds, and warm baking spice—with just a kiss of black pepper on the retrohale. The round vitola brings a subtly different pace to the burn, letting each note stretch and breathe just a little longer than usual. Smoke production is lush and creamy, with a draw that’s as effortless as the cigar is rare. Why It’s Privada-Worthy Privada is about more than great cigars—it’s about great stories, rare access, and unique experiences. The Soberano Maduro isn’t just a Padrón. It’s a deviation from their norm, which makes it a must-have for serious collectors and those who track the brand’s quiet experiments. This is a celebration of precision within variation—how a classic blend transforms with nothing more than a round press and a limited release window. It’s one of those sticks that disappears quickly and gets talked about long after the last box sells out. If you're into cigars that mark moments, this is one of those moments.

The Padrón 1926 Serie No. 47 Maduro? It was built to outlast. Originally introduced to honor the 50th anniversary of the Padrón brand, the No. 47 has become a quiet icon in the 1926 line—a robusto-sized powerhouse packed with deep-aged Nicaraguan flavor and unmistakable Padrón craftsmanship. What makes the 1926 line so legendary is the standard it holds: tobaccos aged five to ten years, selected only when the fermentation and resting are perfect. The Maduro wrapper used here is lush, dark, and glistening with natural oils—aged like a fine bottle of rum and packed with flavor that can only come from time and restraint. Box-pressed and precise, the No. 47 Maduro brings the same strength and structure as its larger siblings, but in a more concentrated format—compact but never rushed, refined but unapologetically bold. Flavor Journey: The cigar opens with espresso, leather, and dark chocolate, moving quickly into black pepper and toasted walnut territory. There’s a persistent molasses sweetness in the background, balanced by a hint of spice—nutmeg, clove, maybe even allspice—that builds without overwhelming. The smoke is thick, chewy, and satisfying. Burn and draw? As flawless as you’d expect. In the final third, everything melds: earth, cocoa, spice, and sweetness weaving together like a symphony in a humid Nicaraguan night. Why It’s Privada-Worthy You don’t just smoke a cigar like this—you document it. You remember what you paired it with. Who you were with. What the occasion was. The No. 47 Maduro is more than just a cigar; it’s a benchmark—a reminder that patience, family, and experience still matter in a world obsessed with shortcuts.

Where the Maduro side of the line is brooding and bold, the Natural is elevated, focused, and clean. This cigar was originally offered as a TAA exclusive, and like all Padróns, every single leaf—from filler to wrapper—is grown on Padrón’s own farms, aged between five and ten years, and fermented with the kind of attention to detail that makes shortcuts look ridiculous. The No. 48 doesn’t need flashy packaging or limited-batch bragging rights. It was designed for the seasoned smoker who wants complexity without heaviness, and clarity without compromise. Flavor Journey: From the first light, you’re greeted with cedar, almond, and a touch of white pepper. The smoke is creamy yet structured, unveiling notes of honey, floral vanilla, and toasted nuts, while subtle baking spice and mineral-rich Nicaraguan soil anchor the palate. The draw is effortless, and the transitions smooth—this is where fermentation, aging, and craftsmanship all meet in quiet perfection. Midway through, it becomes more expressive—vanilla custard meets dry oak, with just a wisp of white pepper hanging on the finish. The final third ties it all together with a graceful intensity that stays with you long after the final ash falls. Why It’s Privada-Worthy At Privada, we value the cigars that don’t have to scream to be heard—the ones you return to because they whisper truth. The No. 48 Natural is that kind of cigar. It’s the silent heavyweight. The veteran in a room full of amateurs. The smoke that proves a blend doesn’t need darkness to deliver depth. It’s built for the collector who already knows what the 1926 name means—and is now ready to explore its softer, more contemplative side.

Wrapped in a golden Nicaraguan sun-grown Natural leaf, this box-pressed Churchill is for the smoker who demands elegance over edge and patience over punch. Every tobacco leaf in this cigar—wrapper, binder, and filler—was grown by the Padrón family, then aged a minimum of five years, with some tobaccos resting closer to a full decade. This is not blending by chance. This is time-tested, terroir-driven, Nicaraguan excellence. Where the Maduro No. 1 leans into richness and grit, the Natural tells a story of warmth, structure, and enduring refinement. Flavor Journey: The first few puffs offer cedar, roasted almond, and creamy vanilla, riding on clouds of white pepper and dry wood. The smoke texture is silky, the burn consistent, and the transitions measured—never rushed, always confident. As it evolves, flavors of toasted bread, warm baking spice, and citrus oil begin to emerge, layered with subtle mineral earthiness that grounds the entire profile. The finish is long and composed, with lingering notes of light oak, cinnamon, and sweet cream. This is a cigar you settle into, not one you blow through.

(Padrón Cigars, Estelí, Nicaragua) Release Info: Released at the 2023 PCA Trade Show; TAA Exclusive in 2024 Privada Storytelling: A New Chapter in the Book of Black The Padrón Black PB‑97 Maduro is something few people ever expected: a rare new release from one of the most consistent brands in the world—and one that shows Padrón still has surprises hidden in its soil. Launched at the 2023 PCA Trade Show and distributed as a TAA exclusive in 2024, the PB‑97 Maduro arrives with serious mystery. It’s not part of the 1926 or 1964 lines. It’s not part of the core rotation. It is its own thing—a statement wrapped in shadows. Shaped in a sleek, box-pressed torpedo format and finished in Padrón’s unmistakable dark, toothy Maduro wrapper, the PB‑97 commands attention without saying a word. The blend is 100% Nicaraguan—grown, aged, and fermented by the Padrón family, with tobaccos matured for an estimated five years before ever reaching the rolling table. What separates this from the legacy lines? The balance. The PB‑97 Maduro isn’t heavy for heavy’s sake—it’s measured, modern, and expertly restrained. It’s a maduro with the volume turned to clarity. Flavor Journey: The first third fires off with black pepper, dark cocoa, and oily espresso bean, settling quickly into a core of earth, leather, and toasted oak. Midway through, complexity builds—molasses, dried fruit, and just a hint of black cherry, echoing old-school richness with a refined modern cadence. The final third introduces subtle heat, deeper woods, and a dry, elegant finish that reminds you—this isn’t a test blend. This is a finished thought, delivered in smoke. Why It’s Privada-Worthy Privada is about more than access—we’re about relevance. And the PB‑97 Maduro is exactly that: a fresh page in the Padrón story, offered only to a few, seen by even fewer, and now in your hands. It’s not hype. It’s heritage, reimagined. Whether you collect, savor, or both—this one doesn’t just belong in your humidor. It belongs in your memory.
