Padron Black No. 99
When Padrón releases something new, it usually means two things: it’s rare, and it matters. The Padrón Black PB-99 cigar is no exception—an imposing 6¾” x 60 Nicaraguan puro created to honor what would have been José Orlando Padrón’s 99th birthday. It’s one of the largest formats in the company’s catalog, and one of the boldest, building on the quiet legacy of the Padrón Black line.
While most Padróns are box-pressed, the PB-99 follows the round format established by previous Black releases. The blend sits between the 1926 and Family Reserve lines in terms of intensity, offering a profile that’s powerful yet composed. Hobbyists can choose between natural and maduro wrappers—each delivering a distinct experience from the same Nicaraguan core. The natural leans toward mineral-rich earth, roasted nuts, and a dry cedar spice, while the maduro brings deeper tones of espresso, cocoa, and a dense sweetness that lingers on the palate.
Padrón doesn’t often chase trends, but with the PB-99 cigar, they’ve managed to add something new to their canon without abandoning a single hallmark. It’s big, it’s balanced, and it’s quietly become one of the most collectible chapters in the Padrón story.
