Description
The Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series Pyramide Natural is an all-Nicaraguan figurado, 6 7/8 inches long, finished in a sun-grown natural leaf. Padrón gives its ring as 52 x 42, broad at the foot and pointed at the head, and calls the whole series box-pressed.
What It Tastes Like
With no Cigar Aficionado note we could find naming the natural Pyramide, we rely on retailers: JR Cigar lists cocoa, coffee bean, caramel and sweet spice and rates it medium; Cigars International cites coffee bean, cocoa, hazelnut and earth for the 1964 line as a whole. The darker twin, the Pyramide Maduro, earned 95 points in Cigar Aficionado’s April 2026 issue, a score that belongs to that maduro alone.
Who It’s For
- Figurado fans who enjoy a ring gauge that changes from end to end.
- Natural-wrapper smokers who know the 1964 Torpedo and want more length.
- Unhurried smokers: only the “A” and Diplomatico run longer in the 1964 lineup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Longest pointed size in the series, past the 5-inch Belicoso and 6-inch Torpedo
- Four-year-aged tobacco, per Padrón
- Numbered one-piece band meant to deter fakes
Cons
- No Cigar Aficionado review we could tie to the natural wrapper
- Strength labels disagree between sources
About the 1964 Anniversary Series
Padrón lists sixteen sizes in this line, which it launched in 1994 to mark the company’s 30th anniversary and offers in sun-grown natural or maduro wrappers. The Torpedo Natural, not this cigar, earned the line’s 97-point 2021 Cigar of the Year title from Cigar Aficionado.
Pairing and Storage
Labeled medium-full in our store, this cigar straddles two tiers of our cigar pairing guide; try bourbon from the medium list or aged rum from the full one. Storing singles? Read our humidor basics guide.

Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series Pyramide Natural FAQ
Is it the Pyramide or the Piramide?
Same cigar. Padrón’s site spells it Piramide; Cigar Aficionado, JR Cigar, Holt’s and our store use Pyramide.
What size is the 1964 Pyramide Natural?
Padrón’s chart gives 6 7/8 inches and a 52 x 42 ring; retailers usually shorten that to 6 7/8 x 52.
How strong is the Pyramide Natural?
Opinions vary. JR Cigar calls it medium, Holt’s rates the 1964 line medium-full, and Cigar Aficionado judged the maduro Pyramide medium-full in April 2026, which is the label our store uses.
Was the Pyramide Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year?
No. The magazine gave its 2021 title to a different size, the 1964 Anniversary Series Torpedo Natural.
