Padrón 1926 Serie Family Reserve No. 45 Maduro

[MaduroManiac]

I managed to get a hold of two of these delicious smokes while at a cigar event in Miami at the Chart House. Jorge Padrón released one box of 10 to be raffled and auction off for a charity in Nicaragua. I got one via raffle and one via auction. This cigar celebrates the 45th anniversary of the founding of Padrón Cigars.
The cigar itself is a 6 inch by 52 ring gauge.

That's what she looks like.
I smoked this one at the Padrón factory with José O. Padrón himself!
The cigar itself is full bodied. It's peppery and has a little sweetness to it. This is constructed very well and in return gives it a very nice draw and an even burn. mmm the aroma it gives off is just fantastic.
I think this cigar is right next to the 1926 series 80 year maduro. DELICIOUS. I think it will be around 25$ before whatever lame taxes there are. I recommend trying one of these bad boys!

They should be arriving here in a couple of days, but in limited availability. There will be another shipment going out in about 2 weeks, but I'm not getting what I initially ordered. They are VERY limited, for now.

Probably a good idea. like Mr. uptown_isy said they are VERY limited. I heard they have about 300-400 boxes and 2100 boxes ordered. but do not quote me on that.

I think you're assessment is probably spot on Maniac. They should have more in another 2 weeks.

Nice review... I'd love to be able to smoke of these some day!

Any blend info on these? Is this just a new size of the 26 maybe or is this blend more related to the other family reserve blend? Looks very nice.

Nice review... I'd love to be able to smoke of these some day!

It truly is a wonderful smoke, one of my favorites. It is par with the 80 year maduro and the Cohiba Siglo VI in my opinion. In that same realm of deliciousness.

Also the No. 45s they have now have a different colored label, it's a lot darker more blood red maroonish. The two I had smoked were preproduction. here be a picture of the label that everyone will see.

It's an addition to the 1926 Serie line. 5 year aged Nicaraguan tobacco. Filler, binder, and wrapper all Nicaraguan. (I'll ask some of my friends to see how the blend compares to the last family reserve).
