Padrón 1926 Serie No. 2 Maduro

The Padrón 1926 Serie No. 2 Maduro is one of the most popular sizes in Padrón's flagship line — a perfectly proportioned 5.5 x 52 box-pressed cigar. The 1926 Serie is an all-Nicaraguan puro built from older tobaccos aged at least five years, and it delivers more power and depth than the 1964 line.

What it tastes like

This is a full-bodied, richly satisfying smoke. The maduro wrapper brings cocoa, espresso, and dark chocolate, finishing with cedar and a confident pepper spice. The 52 ring gauge gives it a cool, even draw, and the blend stays remarkably smooth despite its strength — that balance is exactly why people revere Padrón. Construction, predictably, is flawless from light to nub.

Who it's for

A flagship smoke for experienced palates that want richness without roughness. New to the brand? The 1964 Exclusivo Maduro is a gentler starting point. Wondering what the maduro wrapper adds? See maduro vs Connecticut.
