Tasting Snapshot

Pre-Light

The wrapper is rustic and toothy, with slight veining. Cold draw is earthy and pleasantly open thanks to the box-pressed shape.

First Third

Opens with a balanced level of spice on both the nose and palate. Almonds lead the flavor profile, supported by wood and earth. Bitterness is light and sweetness minimal at first, but increases about an inch in. Ash is solid and gray. Spice mellows near the end of the third—classic Padron 1964 Natural character shines through.

Second Third

Flavors and strength remain stable. Wood notes begin to fade. Sweetness increases on the nose while spice remains consistent. Strength climbs moderately—smooth, flavorful, and balanced.

Final Third

Body and power ramp noticeably. Spice becomes more prominent, sweetness fades. The mouthfeel is rich and coating. Flavors remain consistent through the nub, with no loss in balance.

The Padron 1964 Diplomatico Natural is a quintessential expression of the line—delivering consistent flavor, controlled transitions, and outstanding construction. From its nutty, spicy opening to its robust, full-flavored finish, it’s a cigar that rewards patience and attention. A worthy option for those who enjoy long-format smokes with graceful power.
