Padrón 1926 Serie No. 90 Natural Tubo

The Padrón 1926 Serie No. 90 Natural Tubo celebrates the 90th birthday of Padrón founder José O. Padrón. Handmade in Nicaragua, this 5½ × 52 cigar combines a sun-grown natural wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. It comes in an individual metal tube, giving the No. 90 a presentation that stands apart from other cigars in the series.

The Padrón 1926 Serie was introduced in 2002 to commemorate José O. Padrón’s 75th birthday. Padrón makes the series with tobacco aged five years. Although the series is known for box-pressed cigars, the No. 90 is round. This difference matters when comparing it with other 1926 Serie vitolas: its shape is part of the No. 90’s design, not a variation in the packaging. View Padrón’s series details.

Cigar Aficionado awarded the No. 90 Natural 94 points and ranked it No. 5 in its Top 25 Cigars of 2016. Its review identifies the Natural wrapper, round shape and tubo presentation.

Tobacco Composition

Wrapper

The Padrón 1926 Serie No. 90 Natural wrapper is Nicaraguan sun-grown tobacco. Its Natural designation distinguishes it from the Maduro version of the same cigar. Natural does not mean pale or mild here: Cigar Aficionado describes this version as rich, with cocoa, earth and coffee among its defining impressions.

Binder

A Nicaraguan binder holds the filler beneath the wrapper and completes the No. 90’s all-Nicaraguan construction. Together with the round roll, it gives this cigar a different feel in the hand from the square-pressed 1926 Serie cigars.

Filler

The Nicaraguan filler tobaccos provide the foundation for the cigar’s cedar, earth, coffee and pepper notes. Padrón states that tobacco for the 1926 Serie is aged five years before blending. The Padrón 1926 Serie No. 90 Natural cigar brings that series specification to a round 52-ring-gauge format. View Padrón’s specifications.

Flavor Profile

Opening

The first draws may introduce cedar, natural tobacco and red pepper. A little spice can also appear on the retrohale. Give the cigar time to settle after lighting; its opening is more expressive than the word “Natural” might suggest.

Middle

As the cigar develops, cedar and tobacco can remain prominent while earthy notes become more noticeable. Depending on the individual cigar, you may also find coffee or cocoa behind the wood and spice. The balance between these flavors can shift throughout the middle section.

Final Section

Toward the end, earth, cedar and pepper may become more concentrated. A touch of tangy spice can remain in the background. Take measured draws as the cigar shortens to keep heat from overtaking its other flavors.

Finish

Expect lingering impressions of wood, earth and spice, with coffee or cocoa possible depending on your palate. Tasting notes are subjective and may vary between cigars.

Why Choose Padrón 1926 Serie No. 90 Natural Tubo?

Choose the No. 90 Natural if you want the aged Nicaraguan character of the 1926 Serie in a round cigar. Its 5½ × 52 dimensions offer a substantial smoke without the length of a larger format, while the individual tubo makes the No. 90 easy to distinguish in a collection.

Cutting and Lighting Guidance

Remove the cigar from its tube and cellophane before cutting. Use a sharp straight cutter to take a small portion off the cap without cutting below the shoulder. Toast the foot evenly, rotating the cigar as you light it.

Smoking Guidance

Take gentle draws and allow time between puffs. A measured pace helps keep the cedar, coffee and cocoa notes clear alongside the pepper. If the cigar begins to taste hot, let it rest briefly before continuing.

Storage Instructions

Keep the cigar in a maintained humidor at approximately 65–70% relative humidity and a stable, cool temperature. The metal tube protects it during handling, but it does not replace proper humidor storage. Keep it away from direct sunlight and excess heat.
