The 1964 Aniversario Serie was introduced in 1994, to celebrate the 30th anniver- sary of the Padron Company. Eleven sizes are dressed up with the 1964 year band. The tobacco used to make these cigars is aged four years and the shape is box pres- sed, in honor to the old cuban tradition.

Medium to full strength. The remarkable aromatic intensity, the long persistence, the great balance and the nice evolution, make this Padron the best Nicaragua cigar of 2015. Incredibly creamy and satisfying, it develops a great complexity and elegance.
