Description
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Exclusivo Natural is a medium-to-full box-pressed robusto measuring 5.5 x 50 from Padrón's 1964 Anniversary line. It is a Nicaraguan puro, with a Nicaraguan sun-grown natural wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, made from tobacco aged four years. It is one of the most decorated sizes in the line.
Wrapper and Blend
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Exclusivo Natural uses a Nicaraguan sun-grown natural wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos from the Estelí, Condega and Jalapa regions. Padrón ages all tobacco used in the 1964 Anniversary Series for four years before rolling.
The sun-grown natural wrapper is lighter in color than the maduro and leans toward cocoa, cedar and nuttier notes; the same blend is also offered with a maduro wrapper.
Format and Size
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Exclusivo Natural measures 5.5 inches long with a 50 ring gauge, about 0.78 inches in diameter, and is box-pressed into a squared shape. It is a long robusto, half an inch longer than a standard 5 x 50, and sits between the 4.5 x 46 Principe and the 5 x 52 Belicoso in the line.
Strength and Flavor Profile
TRP lists the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Exclusivo Natural as medium to full in strength. Its flavor notes are cocoa, vanilla, dark-roast coffee, cedar, roasted nuts, black pepper. Cigar Aficionado described cocoa and vanilla sweetness balanced by dark-roasted coffee in a chewy smoke.
Line History and Production
Padrón introduced the 1964 Anniversary Series in 1994 to mark the company's 30th anniversary, naming it for the year José O. Padrón began making cigars in Miami. It launched as a box-pressed series when most cigars were round. Each cigar carries an individually numbered band that guards against counterfeits. The Exclusivo is one of the line's most decorated sizes: the maduro was No. 5 in Cigar Aficionado's 2011 Top 25 at 94 points, and the natural scored 93 points in 2019.
Who It Suits and How to Enjoy It
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Exclusivo Natural suits smokers who want an aged, all-Nicaraguan blend. It works for smokers who want the most familiar size in the 1964 line, with a smoking time of around an hour. It pairs well with cappuccino or café con leche, and with bourbon, aged rum or cognac. Store it at 65 to 70 percent humidity and give it a few weeks of rest after shipping.
