Padrón 1926 Serie™ line premiered in 2002 to commemorate José O. Padrón’s 75th birthday. All tobacco used in this line is aged for five full years. The refined tobacco is then blended to create an exceptionally smooth, complex, balanced and full-bodied flavor. Continuing our tradition, the 1926 Serie™ is offered in a box-pressed format. For the protection of our customers and to safeguard against counterfeiting, a specially designed double band featuring an individually numbered guarantee label is applied to each and every cigar.
