Description
The Padron 1926 Series No. 90 Tubos Maduro is a medium-to-full robusto measuring 5.5 x 52 from Padrón's 1926 Serie line. It is a Nicaraguan puro, with a Nicaraguan maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, all aged five years before blending. It was the first Padrón cigar sold in a tube and is the only round size in the line.
Wrapper and Blend
The Padron 1926 Series No. 90 Tubos Maduro uses a sun-grown Nicaraguan maduro wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, all grown and processed by Padrón. Padrón ages the tobacco for the 1926 Serie five years before blending and describes the result as smooth, complex, balanced and full-bodied in flavor.
The maduro wrapper gives this version its darker, oilier look and the sweeter, roasted side of the profile; the same size is also offered with the natural wrapper.
Format and Size
The Padron 1926 Series No. 90 Tubos Maduro measures 5.5 inches long with a 52 ring gauge, about 0.81 inches in diameter. Unlike the rest of the 1926 Serie, it is round rather than box-pressed. Padrón lists it at 52 x 5 1/2. The No. 2 shares the 5.5 x 52 dimensions but is box-pressed with a tapered belicoso head.
Strength and Flavor Profile
TRP lists the Padron 1926 Series No. 90 Tubos Maduro as medium to full in strength. Its flavor notes are earth, berry jam, raisin, cocoa, cedar, white pepper. Reviewers describe earth and berry jam up front, with cedar and white pepper coming forward later, and generally place the 1926 Serie a step stronger than Padrón's 1964 Anniversary line.
Line History and Production
Padrón premiered the 1926 Serie in 2002 to mark the 75th birthday of founder José O. Padrón, who was born in 1926; the company itself dates to 1964 in Miami. Padrón introduced the No. 90 at the 2016 IPCPR trade show to mark José O. Padrón's 90th birthday. It was the company's first tubed cigar and the first round vitola in the 1926 Serie, which is otherwise box-pressed.
Who It Suits and How to Enjoy It
The Padron 1926 Series No. 90 Tubos Maduro suits smokers who want a 1926 cigar that travels well in its tube. It pairs well with an espresso, a café cubano or a dark roast, and with bourbon, port or an aged rum. Store it at 65 to 70 percent humidity and give it a few weeks of rest after shipping.
