Padrón 1964 Anniversary Torpedo & Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

The Padrón 1964 Anniversary Torpedo & Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bundle marks the opening chapter of the Padrón Pairing Series, a curated ritual designed to showcase how top-rated Padrón cigars interact with thoughtfully chosen spirits. This pairing brings together one of the most celebrated cigars ever produced with a bourbon known for its depth, sweetness, and structure—creating a seamless, dessert-like experience when enjoyed together.

At the center of this pairing is the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Torpedo (Natural), a cigar that earned 97 points and the #1 Cigar of the Year distinction. Box-pressed and impeccably constructed, the Torpedo format delivers a refined progression of flavor that begins with toasted wood and warm nuttiness before evolving into hazelnut, cocoa, and a polished, lingering finish. The Natural wrapper highlights clarity and balance, allowing each flavor to unfold in clearly defined stages.

Paired alongside the cigar is Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, a bourbon finished in a second, deeply toasted oak barrel. This additional maturation amplifies notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak while maintaining the bourbon’s core structure. Served over a single large cube in a heavy rocks glass, the whiskey softens gradually, mirroring the cigar’s evolution and enhancing its cocoa-driven finish.

What makes this pairing exceptional is how the flavors lock in at the finish. A sip of Double Oaked before a draw brings forward the cigar’s hazelnut and cocoa notes, creating a dessert-like impression without overwhelming sweetness. The cigar retains its refinement while the bourbon gains depth and texture, allowing both elements to remain distinct yet complementary.

For those looking to explore a different expression, this same pairing is also available with the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Torpedo Maduro. The Maduro wrapper shifts the experience toward deeper espresso, darker chocolate, and a richer, more intense finish, offering a bolder alternative while maintaining the same pairing philosophy.

As part of the Padrón Pairing Series, this bundle is designed to be repeatable—an intentional ritual rather than a one-off indulgence. Each pairing in the series highlights a top-rated Padrón cigar and a readily available spirit, curated to demonstrate how wrapper choice, proof, and barrel influence can transform the experience.

Available exclusively at The Tobacconist of Greenwich, the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Torpedo & Woodford Reserve Double Oaked bundle is ideal for seasoned aficionados, collectors, and anyone looking to experience Padrón at its most refined—paired, poured, and enjoyed the right way.
