Padron Black PB99 Maduro | Gordo | Box of 10

The Padrón Black PB-99 Maduro is a cigar with a story. A BIG story: named for what would’ve been José Orlando Padrón’s 99th birthday, this release comes from a small-batch series Padrón only makes occasionally, and with genuine purpose. At 6 ¾ × 60, the PB-99 is one of the biggest cigars Padrón rolls, but it walks the walk. Built entirely from aged Nicaraguan tobacco with a dark Maduro wrapper, it opens with rich notes that feel familiar — that Padron-specific deep cocoa and espresso — but with an extra fullness you only get from a larger vitola like this. The sweetness and spice build gradually, but despite its size, never overtake the profile.If ’64 Maduros routinely make their way into your rotation, or you’ve already splurged your way through the Family Series – it’s time to become acquainted with the Padron Black PB-99 Maduro, because it’s as close to the mountaintop as you can get with this Nicaraguan legend.
