Description
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series TAA Toro Natural is a medium-to-full box-pressed robusto measuring 5 x 56 from Padrón's 1964 Anniversary Series. It is a Nicaraguan puro, with a Nicaraguan natural wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, all aged four years and made at Padrón's own factory in Nicaragua. It is a Tobacconists' Association of America exclusive, sold only through TAA member retailers.
Wrapper and Blend
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series TAA Toro Natural uses a sun-grown Nicaraguan natural wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, all grown and processed by Padrón and aged four years before rolling.
The natural wrapper keeps this short, thick size on the cedar and nut side, with cocoa and pepper underneath; the same blend is also offered with a maduro wrapper.
Format and Size
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series TAA Toro Natural measures 5 inches long with a 56 ring gauge, about 0.88 inches in diameter. Padrón calls it the Toro, but at 5 inches it smokes more like a thick robusto. The Hermoso takes the same 56 ring down to 4 inches, and the Exclusivo is the line's standard 5.5 x 50 robusto.
Strength and Flavor Profile
TRP lists the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series TAA Toro Natural as medium to full in strength. Its flavor notes are cocoa, cedar, earth, roasted nuts, nutmeg, black pepper. Reviewers describe cocoa and earth with nutmeg and a light pepper finish.
Line History and Production
Padrón introduced the 1964 Anniversary Series in 1994 to mark 30 years since José O. Padrón founded the company in Miami. He and his son Jorge built it from older tobaccos and the box press José remembered from Cuba, and each cigar carries an individually numbered band. The Toro was Padrón's first exclusive for the Tobacconists' Association of America, offered to member shops for several years before later additions such as the 1926 Serie No. 47. Padrón lists ratings for it from 2011 to 2017, up to 94 points.
Who It Suits and How to Enjoy It
The Padron 1964 Anniversary Series TAA Toro Natural suits smokers who want a short, thick 1964 that burns cool and fits a one-hour break, and collectors who want a size most Padrón retailers cannot sell. It pairs well with espresso or cortado, 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.
