Release Info: Released at the 2023 PCA Trade Show; TAA Exclusive in 2024
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.
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.
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.
