Padron 1964 No. 4 Maduro

Salted-caramel sweetness opens the Padron 1964 No. 4 Maduro before the smoke turns intense, with heavy hickory, a meaty richness, and a peppercorn finish that earned 92 points from Cigar Aficionado, which compared it to a barbecued steak. Earthy, woodsy flavors with a hint of sweetness, a touch of white pepper, and a pumpernickel aroma come with great smoke output, a solid ash, and smooth consistency to the last inch. One of the most memorable maduros in the Padron lineup.
