The 40th Anniversary may be the best cigar the Padrons have ever made. Each leaf in the cigar is a minimum of five years old and the wrapper feels like fine silk. The box pressed torpedo is superbly crafted with an intensely complex flavour. Slighty stronger than a Padron Anniversary, it has heavy chocolate notes framed by earthy spices with a luxuriant, long finish.
