The bands are similar to the Padron (Thousand) Series, but also feature Padron’s unique serial number brand found on its premium offerings such as the 1926 Serie, 1964 Anniversary, Family Reserve, and Damaso offerings.

Jose O Padron’s birthday has been commemorated on several other Padron releases. The release of the 1926 Serie commemorated Padron’s 75th birthday. A special edition of the 1926 Serie called the 80 Years commmemorated Padron’s 80th birthday. For Padron’s 85th birthday, the Padron Family Reserve No. 85 was released.

Smoke Inn is also no stranger to exclusive cigar releases. In 2011, the Padron 1964 Anniversary SI 15 was released as the second installment of the Smoke Inn MicroBlend Series.
