A unique vitola and a Padron. It’s perfect. Typical Padron flavours with a little more refinement and variation due to the unique shape. One of the best!

If I had to put together a Dream Team of cigars, the 80th would be on the starting roster every year. This is a quintessential celebration cigar for me, not something I can afford to smoke daily, but man what a treat to light up when you can swing it. This is not just a cigar, it’s an experience.

A very smooth full body cigar from start to finish. Outstanding smoke. Dark espresso, cocoa, dried cherries, a hint of cinnamon and charred oak. About 3 years ago, I smoke both the Natural and Maduro on the 1926 80th. I was impressed with both and found the Maduro better. This time around, I smoked both again and am not able to say which one is better. If you like coffee notes go for the Natural. If you like chocolate, the Maduro is the one for you.
One last thing is that I love the figurado shape. I know it takes more skilled hands to make them.
