The first cigar post....Of course Padrón

Want to first talk about my favorite smoke: The 1964 Anniversary Series from Padrón.

I mainly smoke the Principe because it is a 30 -45 minute smoke. It is a 46 x 4 1/2. The 1964 comes in nine sizes and each is a treat. Form the "A" to the Principe, you cannot go wrong.

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. Nicaragua is the country of origin.

I had the opportunity to travel to Miami and visit the Padrón Headquarters in Little Havana. The History of the family and of the production is very interesting and the Padrón family make you feel as though you are part of theirs.
