About:
Released in 2007 as a special limited addition to the Padrón 1926 Anniversary Series, the Padrón 80th Anniversary is a box-pressed perfecto made to commemorate the 80th birthday of cigar industry legend José Padrón. In fact, they found it fitting to make the Padrón 80th a perfecto-shaped cigar – a first in the history of the Padrón cigar company. The cigars come packaged in boxes of eight and retail for about $30 each. There were both maduro and natural versions of this cigar released. For this Snapshot, I am reviewing the natural version.

One of my favorities. I have to check to see if I have any left. I think I smoked my last two when CJ made the trip to the Mum compound in 2010.

I don't think aged has helped them. They were better when they first came out.

Robbie gave me one during our first here in Pensacola. I liked it far better than the maduro.

I think that there is a sweet spot that they were just past... They were a little raw when they were first out to me - I did like that I was able to find some of the underlying flavors.

That being said, I would go back to a 1964 Exclusivo Maduro every time.

YMMV.
