The award-winning Padron 1926 Serie premiered in 2002 to commemorate Jose O. Padron's 75th birthday. Today, five sizes are available in both Natural and Maduro wrapper. Continuing Padron's tradition, this series is offered in a box-pressed format offering refined tobacco aged five to ten years, then blended to create an exceptionally smooth, complex, balanced and full-bodied flavor. For protection, a double band with an individually numbered guarantee label is applied to every cigar to safeguard against counterfeiting.
