The Padron 1964 Torpedo Maduro belongs to a particularly prestigious line of the brand, created back in 1994 to commemorate the brand’s 30th anniversary. This cigar is available in both Natural and Maduro versions. The difference is exclusively in the type of wrapper leaf used.
Aesthetically, the cigars are dressed in a Maduro shade wrapper, that is rustic to the touch. They are box pressed and the filling is even.

Padron 1964 Torpedo Maduro: the cold draw reveals hints of earth and cocoa, with a touch of black pepper. The opening confirms the earth and black pepper.
The first third releases aromas of earth and cocoa, with nuts (mainly walnut) and toasted coffee notes in the background. A spicy component of black pepper with a particularly marked persistence close out the puff. Strength is medium – full (4/5).
The second third continues on nuts, now mainly hazelnut, followed by white pepper and hints of earth. Strength remains constant (4/5).
In the final third, the smoke turns to notes of cappuccino, earth and hints of white pepper. The strength grows slightly in the finale, resulting in a satisfying closure (4.5/5).
Overall, the Padron 1964 Torpedo Maduro releases a balanced smoke. The only flaw is its evolution, that is not exactly accentuated, but that is a minor issue, due to an intense and well-structured flavor profile.
