Padron 1964 A Natural

The?Padro?n 1964 Anniversary Series?was released in 1994 when the company celebrated 30 years in business. The cigar was made by?company founder (and Cuban e?migre?)?Jose? Orlando Padro?n?and?his son Jorge. The idea was to make a high-end cigar from exceptional tobaccos with more age. Before 1994, Padr?n?s production was mostly made up of its flagship brown-label brand. It was a good cigar at a good price?and still is?but a creation for an anniversary as big as 30 years had to be taken to the next level. The final product was a cigar of sun-grown, Cuban-seed?tobaccos from Nicaragua. It was Jose??s idea to give the cigars the signature box-pressing. He wanted a smoke that resembled the cigars he used to enjoy in Cuba. ?Not that we invented the box-press,? said?Jorge Padro?n, ?but at the time there weren?t any box-pressed cigars in the market.?
