If there were a Mt. Rushmore of cigar brands, Padron would be one of the first names under consideration. There are maybe one or two brands that could compete with Padron’s resume. Hell, even writing this now, I can’t believe some of their accolades. Did you know Padron has been rated 90 or higher 100 times? And those 90+ ratings keep on coming too!

So where to start? Good question. It’s hard to turn down the 97-rated Padron 1926 Series. The highest-rated Padron will never let you down and serves as the perfect special occasion cigar. But the 95-rated Padron 1964 Anniversary is certainly nothing to scoff at. And of course, the classic Padron is always a good cigar to keep on hand. But no matter what Padron you pick, know that you’ll be getting one of the finest Nicaraguan cigars in the world.
