The Padrón Family Reserve No. 95 stands out for a few reasons. In this tasting, it’s by far the highest score of the section at 93 points. In the company’s size portfolio, the No. 95 is not only the fattest Family Reserve in the line, but it isn’t box pressed, which is unusual for a Padrón cigar. Being larger and rounder, however, wasn’t a problem. All the flavor aspects that define Padrón’s top-tier smokes have translated beautifully to this fatter format. It speaks to the quality of the Nicaraguan tobacco and the blending abilities of brand owner Jorge Padrón, who has scaled up the cigar without sacrificing the blend’s personality. The cigar is named after the company’s late founder José Orlando Padrón, who would have been 95 years old in 2021, when the cigar was first previewed.
