The Padrón Family Reserve Maduro No. 85 was released in 2011 to celebrate the 85th birthday of José Orlando Padrón, the founder of Padrón Cigars. Unlike other Family Reserve cigars that mark company anniversaries, this one honors the man behind the legacy. It’s handcrafted at Tabacos Cubanica S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, using 10-year-aged Nicaraguan tobaccos.
This cigar features a dark, smooth Maduro wrapper and a classic box-pressed shape. The flavor profile is bold and complex, with notes of dark chocolate, leather, oak, and black pepper, especially strong in the first third. As it progresses, the pepper mellows and a subtle plum sweetness appears in the second third. The final third is smoother, with a medium finish and a touch of spice on the retrohale. It’s a rich, evolving smoke that reflects the depth of Padrón’s craftsmanship.
