What it tastes like

what the wrapper usually brings

Padrón 1926 Serie Maduro uses a Nicaragua (Maduro) wrapper. Maduro wrappers tend toward cocoa, coffee, dark fruit and a natural sweetness from the longer fermentation. That is the leaf's general character, not a tasting note for this cigar.

How to smoke it

rules of thumb
  • Time: plan on about 1 h 10 min to 1 h 40 min for a 6.75-inch size.
  • When: A full-strength cigar is best after a full meal and never on an empty stomach; keep water nearby and slow down if you feel the nicotine.
  • Pair with: espresso, port, or a dark rum.
  • Pace: about a puff a minute keeps it cool and lets the flavors change from third to third. Do not inhale.
  • Before lighting: cut just above the cap line, toast the foot evenly, and take a cold draw to check it.
