Padron Series 1926 No. 2 Maduro – Single Cigar

Named to commemorate the birth year of founder José Orlando Padrón, the Padrón 1926 Series No. 2 Maduro features an all-Nicaraguan blend. This box-pressed belicoso measures 5½" in length with a 52-ring gauge, showcasing sharp edges and uniform construction that reflects Cuban tradition.
