Padron 1964 Anniversary Presidente Square Tubo Maduro

Introduced in 1994 for the company’s thirtieth anniversary, the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series is the cigar that made box-pressing famous. A Nicaraguan puro through and through — wrapper, binder and filler all grown on Padron farms and aged a minimum of four years — it sits medium-to-full, with cedar, cocoa powder, leather, nuts and coffee bean layered over a smooth, even core. Rated 97 points and Cigar of the Year in 2021, and still widely considered the best cigar available under twenty-five dollars. Each stick carries the numbered anti-counterfeit band.

A 6″ x 50 toro in a square tubo — the box-pressed shape protected in its own case. The maduro wears a darker, extra-fermented Nicaraguan wrapper, adding sweetness, body and a richer cocoa depth.
