This new addition to the Padrón Family Reserve celebrates what would have been the 95th birthday of José Orlando Padrón, the founder of the brand, born in 1926. The cigar is generously filled and wrapped in a smooth wrapper leaf. As per their tradition, it is a bold smoke, showing a nice structure and a rich flavor profile.
It delivers rich notes of white pepper, the main flavor of the smoke, earth, and leather, together with some hints of coffee beans. In the final part of the smoke, the flavor profile is enriched with toasted aromas.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Those who scored the highest among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews get re-selected. These products are then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared, and the TOP 5 are created.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs in order to give the right space to all the producing countries. From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. Together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy, and the best Boutique Brands, this list will be published in CigarsLover Magazine issue #5.
