The Padrón brand is renowned for its exceptional quality and consistency, with a storied history that has earned it numerous accolades, including multiple Cigar of the Year awards and consistent ranking in the top 10 of the Top 25 list. The 1964 Anniversary Series is a landmark release that catapulted Padrón to international recognition, elevating the company from a modest producer of affordable cigars to a respected name in the world of premium, handmade cigars. Conceived in 1994 by Jorge Padrón to commemorate the company's 30th anniversary, this series was the brainchild of using aged tobacco to craft a more luxurious cigar, a concept endorsed by his father, José Orlando Padrón, the company's founder. The resulting cigars have been highly prized by aficionados ever since. While many sizes in the line are quite generous, the Principe, a compact, box-pressed format, distills the essence of the 1964 Anniversary Series into a more concise smoking experience. With each puff, a rich, velvety smoke unfolds on the palate, accompanied by the brand's hallmark flavors of smooth milk chocolate. Notably, Padrón deviates from conventional industry practice by not aging its cigars in a controlled environment after rolling, instead relying on the prior aging of the tobacco to ensure readiness for consumption. This approach appears to be effective, as the cigars are able to deliver a satisfying and complex smoking experience from the outset.
