Flavor Profile

First Third: Rich notes of toasted cedar, natural tobacco leaf and light black pepper introduce a bold, refined start.
Mid-Smoke: The profile deepens into cocoa, roasted almonds, earth and subtle caramel sweetness, backed by refined leather.
Final Third: The cigar concludes with lingering cedar and nutty sweetness, a hint of espresso roast and pepper turning smoother for a satisfying finish.

Construction & Burn

Hand-crafted in Nicaragua with the aged tobaccos that define the 1926 Serie, this vitola features a round parejo format (versus the usual box-pressed shape for the line) and ships in an elegant aluminum tubo for freshness and presentation. Draw, burn and ash are consistently excellent, with a firm core and even combustion, delivering a high-quality experience from first light to nub.

Story & Accolades

Created to commemorate the 90th birthday of company founder José O. Padrón, the 1926 Serie No. 90 marks a milestone release in the Padrón portfolio. This size stands out for being the first in the Serie presented in a traditional round format and aluminum tube. The 1926 Serie line itself debuted in 2002 to honor José O. Padrón’s 75th birthday, and is known for its tobaccos aged a minimum of five years.
The No. 90 has been highly rated — for example, the cigar achieved a 94-point rating and was ranked among the Top 5 cigars of the year.

Pairing Suggestions

Beer: A robust porter or aged Belgian dubbel complements the cocoa and roasted nut notes.
Wine: A full-bodied Rioja Reserva or Napa Cabernet brings out the cigar’s leather and earth tones.
Spirits: A well-aged bourbon (wheated or classic) or a single-malt Scotch with gentle smoke enhances the cedar and espresso finish.
