Padron Serie 1964 Pyramide Natural

Description

The Padrón Serie 1964 Pyramide Natural carries one of Padrón’s most celebrated and consistently praised blends into a distinctive pyramid shape — from a line many enthusiasts consider one of the best cigars ever made.

Construction & Origin

Introduced in 1994 to mark Padrón’s 30th anniversary, the 1964 Anniversary Series uses 100% Nicaraguan tobacco aged four years before rolling, box-pressed in Padrón’s traditional Cuban-inspired style. The Natural version uses a sun-grown wrapper — a different character from the darker, oilier Maduro leaf — hand-rolled at Tabacos Cubanica S.A. Every cigar carries an individually numbered guarantee label as a mark of authenticity tied to the Padrón family lineage.

Flavor Profile

Medium to full-bodied, the Pyramide Natural opens with cedar, toasted wood, and nutty richness, developing into coffee, cocoa, and a subtle earthiness with a long, balanced finish. The line has earned some of Cigar Aficionado’s highest honors on record — a 97-point rating and the outlet’s #1 Cigar of the Year for 2021 — with reviewers consistently praising the natural wrapper’s cleaner, more nuanced character compared to its Maduro sibling.

Why It’s Sought After

Few cigar lines carry this level of sustained, decades-long acclaim — the 1964 Anniversary Series has appeared on “best cigars” lists consistently since 1994, and its commercial success is credited with inspiring the widespread adoption of box-pressed shapes across the entire industry. For anyone wanting to understand what makes Padrón’s reputation so strong, this remains one of the definitive starting points.
