Question: What is the significance of the numbers used in each of the four Padron Family Reserva releases?

Congratulations to Matt R. of Scotch Plains, NJ who correctly answered;

The significance of the 44,45 and 46 correspond to the anniversary of when Jose O. Padrón founded Padrón Cigars (1964). The 2008 release is the 44, the 2009 is the 45 and the 2010 is the 46 representing the anniversary of the company. In 2011, the name was changed the the Padrón Family Reserve 85th to commemorate Jose O. Padrón’s 85th birthday.
