If time travel were a reality, a curious cigar smoker could make the voyage back to September 1964 and walk into an extremely modest cigar factory in Miami’s Little Havana. He would see two men, one of them rolling cigars, the other the owner of the tiny operation. The cigars for sale cost a quarter apiece. There was no hint at what was to become of this quite small undertaking, no clue that this nascent brand would one day be among the world’s best-known and most critically-acclaimed cigars.
That owner was José Orlando Padrón, a man who grew up on a tobacco farm in Pinar del Río, Cuba. He was raised around cigars, and his grandmother had a little table in the house where she would roll cigars for the family, using the tobacco leaves they grew. When he was seven, he had his first job in the fields, cleaning the seedbeds. Hard work would be a part of his entire life. He left Cuba in 1961 for a better life, going first to Spain, and later to the United States. He worked various jobs until 1964, when he opened that small factory. It’s possible not even he could have imagined how successful that company would become.
The brand he created more than six decades ago now stands, once again, on top of the cigar world. Today, his descendants, led by his son Jorge, run the company. And as the 60th anniversary of the brand approached, Jorge and his team set out to make a commemorative cigar. It’s superb.
The Padrón 60th Anniversary Perfecto is only the second perfecto shape the Padróns have ever commercially released. Perfectos are not easy to roll, tapering at both the head and the foot. This particular one is a delight to the eye, graceful in its curvature, with a chocolate brown wrapper. When you light one up, you might become wide-eyed at the intensity of flavor that immediately hits your palate. It’s a rich smoke, stronger than many Padróns. Once you work your way through the narrow foot, the draw opens up and the flavor parade truly begins. Here comes malted milk. Next, the creamy coffee like a café au lait, then the chocolate. It’s one of those tremendous cigars that reveals a bit more of itself as it slowly burns, inch by inch, and just keeps getting better. It’s considerably hard to put one down.
