Padron Serie 1926 40th Anniversary

Torpedo 54 x 6 1/2 Nicaraguan Puro $27.50

What a way to start the New Year!  This cigar has been aging in my box for 3 years and thought that kicking off 2009 was a great opportunity to enjoy this.  The age added a little more depth to the flavor and strength over '26s I've enjoyed in the past. It is a full bodied smoke that is not meant for the novice cigar smoker. This smoke is packed full of flavor and strength. It is a complex smoke with flavors ranging from pepper, cocoa and coffee.

As you are aware, these smokes were produced to commemorate the 75th Birthday of Jose O. Padron, founder.  It is a Nicaraguan Puro that contains tobacco from 5 different regions of the country. It is masterfully crafted with a box pressed finish. Absolutely one of the best cigars crafted this decade.  

So here is to a great 2009 and some great cigars! I have a couple more of these aging and would love to have a reason to celebrate with them, I think '09 will give me that opportunity!
