On September 8, 2024, Padrón Cigars will celebrate a significant milestone—60 years of producing some of the world’s finest cigars. Known for their commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and tradition, Padrón continues to uphold its legacy with a new release, the Padrón 60th Anniversary cigar. This commemorative smoke, which Cigar Aficionado highlighted earlier in March, began shipping out today in limited quantities, much to the delight of cigar enthusiasts.
A Special Edition for a Special Occasion
The Padrón 60th stands out not only because it marks a monumental anniversary but also due to its distinct shape. The cigars are large perfectos—tapered at both the head and the foot—an unusual format for Padrón. In fact, this is only the second time in the brand’s six-decade history that they’ve crafted a cigar of this type.
Measuring 6 1/2 inches in length with a ring gauge of 56, the Padrón 60th is not just a visual stunner but a testament to the brand’s dedication to creating memorable experiences. Made entirely in Nicaragua with Nicaraguan tobaccos, this smoke embodies the rich, complex flavors for which Padrón is renowned. Each cigar carries a suggested retail price of $75 and comes in elegant boxes of 10, further underscoring the exclusivity of this release.
A Slow and Steady Approach
For fans eager to get their hands on the Padrón 60th, patience will be required. According to Jorge Padrón, the company has adopted a deliberate approach to rolling out this celebratory product. “We were not able to ship a lot of boxes,” he explained in an interview with Cigar Aficionado. “It’s going to be very slow going out . . . we’re taking our time with it. The product is going to come in slowly, and we’re going to get it out as it comes.”
This careful release strategy ensures that each cigar maintains the exceptional quality that Padrón is famous for, even if it means waiting a bit longer. The company’s decision to limit production and distribution guarantees that the Padrón 60th will remain a coveted item for collectors and aficionados alike.
A Legacy Built on Quality
Since its founding in 1964, Padrón Cigars has set the standard for premium Nicaraguan cigars. Over the years, the brand has earned a reputation for excellence, crafting cigars that consistently rank among the highest-rated in the world. The release of the Padrón 60th not only commemorates the brand’s rich history but also serves as a reminder of its ongoing dedication to creating top-tier cigars that can be savored by generations of cigar lovers.
For those fortunate enough to get their hands on the Padrón 60th, this smoke promises to be a true celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and passion—everything Padrón Cigars has stood for over the last 60 years.
