Padrón is among the most famous brands worldwide, with the 1964 Anniversary Series being largely responsible for the notoriety. The cigars were released in 1994 during the peek of the great cigar boom and have remained a staple in humidors ever since.
Padrón cigars are famously Nicaraguan, box-pressed, and always offered in both natural and maduro variants. The 1964 Anniversary Series – Maduro was among the first cigars in the Cigar Wars database and was largely responsible for the creation of our Hall of Fame feature, as the cigar occupied the #1 spot almost exclusively.
Time will tell whether fans truly prefer the Hall of Famer maduro or the more traditional natural…
The Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series was introduced in 1994 to commemorate our company’s 30th anniversary. This line consists of eleven sizes that are all available in sun-grown natural and maduro wrappers. All tobacco used in this limited production series is aged for four years, creating a smooth and complex flavor. In honor of the age-old Cuban tradition of box-pressing cigars, the 1964 Anniversary line was introduced as a box-pressed series. For the protection of our customers we have introduced measures to safeguard against counterfeiting with a specially designed double band, featuring an individually-numbered guarantee label. The Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series is consistently ranked by industry experts as one of the top brands in the world.Piloto Cigars Inc.
