Description
The Padrón Serie 1926 80 Years Natural is a 6 3/4 x 54 figurado with a natural wrapper, binder and filler all grown in Nicaragua. Cigar Aficionado’s October 2006 announcement says Padrón rolled it in Estelí to celebrate founder José Orlando Padrón’s 80th birthday.
What It Tastes Like
In a March 26, 2024 review of the natural, Cigar Reviews by the Katman found milk chocolate, caramel and malt early, then espresso, black pepper, cedar and black cherry; strength climbed from a firm medium to full. Cigar Aficionado’s tastings of the Serie 1926 80 Years, which do not say which wrapper was smoked, mention dark chocolate and roasted coffee (October 2022), black cherry with chocolate (February 2020), and cocoa, leather and a malty sweetness (April 2024).
Who It’s For

- Padrón loyalists who want the blend made to mark the founder’s 80th birthday.
