Padron Black PB99 Natural (6.75×60)

Summary

The Padron Black PB-99 Natural is a monumental cigar created to honor what would have been José Orlando Padrón’s 99th birthday. Measuring an impressive 6 ¾ x 60 Gordo, it stands as one of the largest formats ever released by Padron and is rolled in a rare round style rather than the brand’s traditional box-pressed format.

This Nicaraguan puro showcases a smooth natural Habano wrapper over a binder and filler of meticulously aged Nicaraguan tobaccos. The result is a cigar that embodies the richness of Nicaragua’s finest soils while maintaining the balance and refinement expected of Padron.

From the first draw, expect bold notes of espresso and dark cocoa, layered with cedar and leather. As the smoke develops, toasted nuts and a gentle natural sweetness emerge, weaving harmoniously with baking spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. The finish is long and savory, with lingering hints of wood and pepper.

Despite its size and full-bodied profile, the PB-99 Natural is remarkably smooth, with flawless construction, an easy draw, and abundant, creamy smoke. It is a collector’s centerpiece and a fitting tribute to Padron’s legacy of uncompromising quality.
