Dark, box-pressed and — in this variation — enrobed in a chocolate-brown Maduro wrapper, the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Imperial is a complex cigar that produces copious clouds of dense, creamy, delicious smoke. Like the rest of the smokes in the brand’s 1964 Anniversary line, the tobaccos in this puro Nicaraguan stick have been aged no less than four years.
The 1964 Anniversary series was created in 1994 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Padrón’s founding by legendary company patriarch José Orlando Padrón. So radical was this series a departure from anything Padrón had produced before, that it catapulted the brand into the very top echelon of cigar makers worldwide.
Since then, Padrón has only added to its renown and transformed into the most lauded cigar producer of the modern era, with more 90+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado and other outlets than any other brand. This stick — the Padrón 1964 Imperial Maduro — is no exception, having earned an enviable 93 rating twice from CA, including in 2020.
In the Padrón Anniversary Imperial Maduro, balanced flavors of cardamom and candied fruit intermix and are overlaid with traces of red wine, licorice, citrus and cocoa powder. The finish is earthy and sweet. This is a medium-to-full-bodied cigar, with medium-to-full strength.
