Description
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Superior Maduro is a medium-to-full box-pressed lonsdale measuring 6.5 x 42 from Padrón's 1964 Anniversary line. It is a Nicaraguan puro, with a Nicaraguan maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, made from tobacco aged four years. It is the longest slim size in the series.
Wrapper and Blend
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Superior Maduro uses a Nicaraguan maduro 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 maduro wrapper gives this version its darker, oilier look and a sweeter, roasted side of the profile; the same blend is also offered with the sun-grown natural wrapper.
Format and Size
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Superior Maduro measures 6.5 inches long with a 42 ring gauge, about 0.66 inches in diameter, and is box-pressed into a squared shape. It is the longest of the slim sizes, half an inch longer than the 6 x 42 Corona, and it shares its 6.5-inch length with the thicker Monarca at 46.
Strength and Flavor Profile
TRP lists the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Superior Maduro as medium to full in strength. Its flavor notes are cocoa, earth, nutmeg, cinnamon, leather, black pepper. Reviewers describe a dark, leathery profile with cocoa and earth, a sweet cinnamon finish and a touch of pepper.
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 Superior gives the 1964 blend the long, narrow lonsdale format, the size Cigar Aficionado lists it under.
Who It Suits and How to Enjoy It
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Superior Maduro suits smokers who want an aged, all-Nicaraguan blend. It works for smokers who like a long, slim cigar and a smoking time of over an hour. It pairs well with espresso or Cuban coffee, and with bourbon, aged rum or port. Store it at 65 to 70 percent humidity and give it a few weeks of rest after shipping.
