Buy Authentic Padrón 1926 Series No. 90 Tubo Cigars | #5 Cigar of 2016, 94 Points

A centenarian celebration in a tube—and yes, it smokes like it.

Imagine honoring a living legend with a cigar so refined that it lands Top 5 in Cigar Aficionado’s “Cigars of the Year” in 2016, scoring 94 points. That’s exactly what the Padrón 1926 Series No. 90 is: a tribute to José Orlando Padrón’s 90th birthday, sealed in a sleek tubo and ready to shine.

Structure, Smoke & Sophistication

What’s different (and irresistible)

The Padrón 1926 Series No. 90 breaks tradition with a round parejo (5½ × 52) format—no box-press here. Sleek, smooth, and tube-packed (maroon for Maduro, cream for Natural), it’s crafted for those who appreciate elegance and smoke quality alike.

Tasting profile that commands attention

At light-up, you’ll catch cedar, leather, cocoa, and a creamy dash of cayenne—bold yet balanced. As it evolves, tasting notes shift to walnut, hickory, dried cherry, espresso bean, dark chocolate, and a lingering finish fit for a tuxedo moment.

Construction and knowing it matters

• Nicaraguan puro: wrapper, binder, and filler—all aged five years, not marketing puffery.

• Packaging ritual: remove the tubo, admire the cold aroma and construction before lighting—a small ceremony for a special cigar.

• Strength: full—bold enough for experienced smokes, finely balanced to savor over 60+ minutes.

Anecdote — Real as it gets

I once sold a box of No. 90s to a customer planning his father-in-law’s 90th birthday surprise. He called back later—voice shaky with emotion—and said:

“That tube-cigar broke the stiffness of the evening and turned guests into storytellers.”
High praise—and human connection, not hype.

Expert-level insights

• Shape matters: Round parejo alters airflow and burn compared to box-pressed brothers—flavors hit differently, with smoother transitions and no hard edges.

• Age meets complexity: That five-year rest ensures the vegetal bite is gone—and what’s left is layered flavor—cocoa, leather, the works. Think of it as patience distilled.

• Pairing pro tip: Go with a peaty single malt (Lagavulin 16), or a dark espresso/dessert wine. The cigar’s rich backbone welcomes bold companions.

What smokers are saying

“Tons of woody and coffee flavors with a rich tobacco finish and a complex layer of spices and bean flavors. I don’t regret this box whatsoever.”
Reddit

“Padrón 1926 No. 90—great smoke, burning evenly with notes of chocolate and coffee. Worth the extra coin… burned much smoother and had consistent rich flavors.”
Reddit

Not everyone’s cup:

“Sharp black pepper, strong oak… open draw. Final third brought sweetness, but not enough to balance. A rare disappointment.”
