Padron 1926 No. 9 Maduro (5.25×56)

The No. 9 Maduro is the sweet spot of the Padrón 1926 Serie for dark wrapper lovers. At 5.25×56, the wide ring gauge and robusto gordo format put the deeply fermented sun-grown Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper front and center from the very first draw, and what it delivers on top of five to ten years of family-aged Nicaraguan filler tobacco is something that has made this one of the most consistently sought-after sizes in the entire lineup.

Dense, rich, and layered from start to finish. Dark chocolate and espresso hit first, then leather and earth build in the middle third as the filler tobaccos assert themselves, and the finish arrives long and naturally sweet with a cocoa and molasses character that only a properly fermented Maduro from Nicaragua can produce. The wide 56-ring gauge keeps the smoke cool and controlled the entire way, the full-body strength of the 1926 Serie showing up with authority without ever crossing into harshness. Double-banded, individually numbered, grown and blended entirely by the Padrón family in Nicaragua. The most 90+ rated cigar line in the world. The No. 9 Maduro is what it looks like at its most indulgent.
