It finally arrived for the masses. After two soft releases, a name change and a delay, the Padrón 1964 No. 4 made its debut at IPCPR. As for the rest of Padrón, it was like normal—the same.

Busy as usual. Also as usual, avoiding the IPCPR new products craze. Notably absent: no new Family Reserve.

We documented the saga here, which included the 6 x 60’s soft release in January at an event. Padrón has also claimed this is not the same cigar as the SI-15, making this the third release to carry 1964 branding.
