The Padrón 50th Anniversary Maduro, also known as "The Hammer," is a commemorative full-bodied cigar released in 2014 to celebrate five decades of Padrón's exceptional cigar-making heritage. This limited-edition box-pressed toro features an all-Nicaraguan blend utilizing tobacco aged for a minimum of ten years, creating an exceptionally smooth, complex, and balanced smoking experience. The cigar earned a prestigious 93 rating from Cigar Aficionado and represents some of the finest tobacco from Padrón's oldest reserves. Crafted at Tabacos Cubanica S.A. in Nicaragua, this ultra-premium offering embodies Padrón's unwavering commitment to quality and tradition that has made them one of the most awarded cigar manufacturers in the world. The extensive aging process of the Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and filler tobaccos creates a rich and complex flavor profile with harmonious notes of cocoa, leather, cedar, almond, nougat, and pepper, culminating in a luxurious finish. Originally released in an exclusive run of 1,000 handcrafted humidors containing 50 serial-numbered cigars each, the 50th Anniversary Maduro is now available in limited quantities at select retailers as refill boxes. This cigar exemplifies the pinnacle of Nicaraguan tobacco craftsmanship and represents a singular smoking experience for the most discerning aficionados.
