Padrón

The passing of two cigar industry icons brought together two of the most well-known cigar companies to create one of the most attention-grabbing releases of 2024. Jorge Padrón blended this cigar in honor of Carlos Fuente Sr., who passed away in 2016.

This 6 3/4 x 54 torpedo vitola and its Natural wrapper counterpart were offered to stores who placed orders during a trade show in July 2023. The 97 part of the name references what would have been the 97th birthday of the company’s founder, the late José O. Padrón.

The newest member of Padrón’s Family Reserve line is the No. 96, a robusto extra that arrived in stores in April 2023.

With the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show right around the corner, it’s time to look at one of Padrón’s PCA 2022 exclusives.

There’s a new size of the Padrón Black blend, but you’ll have to know where to look in order to find it.

The Family Reserve No. 95 honors what would have been the 95th birthday of the company’s founder, José Orlando Padrón, doing so with a short, thick vitola.

Padrón isn’t known for new cigars, let alone big ring gauge cigars. The new Padrón Family Reserve No. 95 measures 4 3/4 x 60 and packs a punch.

Padrón is not known for making new cigars. It’s not to say the company doesn’t, as it typically adds about at least one new cigar…

Last month, the newest version of the Cigar Rights of America Freedom Sampler began shipping to retailers, although the release was quite a bit more widespread…
