This one is right up my alley if I want a couple hours to relax. Cocoa, cedar, spice and damned smooth. It’s amazing how Padron can do bold, spicy and smooth simultaneously. This is just a great vitola and a great smoke.

Great construction, perfect draw, with bold and complex notes of mocha, baking spices, and scorched earth. A perfect cigar to celebrate the good things in life! That said, if I was forced to choose between this and a Padron Family Reserve (#45 or #46) I would go with the latter

Padron 1926 Anniversary No. 40 Maduro, Beautiful smoke. The Padron 1926 90 Maduro smokes better. I would still buy 1926 40 Maduro. Insanely flavorful, complex, smooth well-aged tobacco.
