Description
The Padron Family Reserve No. 95 Natural is a full-strength round gordo measuring 4.75 x 60 from Padrón's Family Reserve line. It is a Nicaraguan puro, with a Nicaraguan natural wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, all aged 10 years and rolled at Padrón's own factory in Estelí. It honors what would have been José Orlando Padrón's 95th birthday and was the first Family Reserve size made round rather than box-pressed.
Wrapper and Blend
The Padron Family Reserve No. 95 Natural uses a Nicaraguan natural wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, all grown and processed by Padrón. Padrón ages the Family Reserve tobacco 10 years and describes the blend as full-bodied.
The sun-grown natural wrapper keeps cedar, nuts and spice toward the front; the same size is also made with a maduro wrapper.
Format and Size
The Padron Family Reserve No. 95 Natural measures 4.75 inches long with a 60 ring gauge, about 0.94 inches in diameter. Halfwheel calls the size a petit gordo. It is round, not box-pressed, and it is both the shortest and the thickest Family Reserve. The No. 50 is a pressed 5 x 54, and the No. 96 is a round 5.75 x 52.
Strength and Flavor Profile
TRP lists the Padron Family Reserve No. 95 Natural as full in strength. Its flavor notes are cedar, earth, cocoa, leather, black pepper, cinnamon, roasted coffee, clove. Reviewers note the strength building as it burns, with pepper strongest on the retrohale.
Line History and Production
Padrón showed the No. 95 at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show, at first only to retailers who attended, and boxes began shipping in March 2022. The number marks what would have been the 95th birthday of founder José Orlando Padrón, who died in 2017. It was the first Family Reserve made round instead of box-pressed, and halfwheel noted it uses some of the company's most aged tobacco. Each Family Reserve size is numbered for a company anniversary or a birthday of founder José Orlando Padrón.
Who It Suits and How to Enjoy It
The Padron Family Reserve No. 95 Natural suits experienced Padrón smokers who want the fuller, older-tobacco Family Reserve blend. It is a good fit for smokers who like a short, wide ring gauge and a cooler, fuller draw than the pressed sizes. It pairs well with espresso or café con leche, and with aged rum, bourbon or Cognac. Store it at 65 to 70 percent humidity and give it a few weeks of rest after shipping.
