In 1999, Padrón rolled 100,000 of a specially-blended version of its insanely popular 1964 Series. Released in the year 2000, the Padrón Millennium was limited to 1,000 humidors of 100 cigars. The blend was similar to the 1964 Series, but was said to be quite a bit more bold in flavor and the tobacco used was already aged for five years before it was rolled into the cigars. From Padron's Press Release in 1999: "To celebrate the Millennium, the Padrón family created the limited edition 'Millennium 1964 Series.' Production was limited to 1,000 cases of 100 cigars each. The cigar, with dimensions of 52 x 6, is made with tobacco that has been aged for five years. All tobacco used for this single release was hand selected specifically for this limited production. Our goal was to blend a more full-bodied flavor while not compromising the balance that cigar connoisseurs have come to expect from our products." This was also the first time Padron individually numbered its cigars and each humidor comes with five solid cedar trays that accommodate 20 cigars sequentially numbered each. Each cigar as well as each humidor case is individually and sequentially numbered. To make this possible, new bands containing Jose O. Padrón’s signature were designed to accommodate the individual serial numbering of each cigar. This is a very rare 15 year old limited edition humidor collector's item that only comes around a few times each generation. Each humidor also features two solid brass plaques on the exterior lid. The first, appearing on the center of the lid, contains the 1964 Anniversary Series logo. The second, located on the bottom right corner of the lid, contains the following information: Millennium 1964 Series Limited Edition Box No. 816 / 1,000 and Cigars No. 81501-81600.Only 1,000 100 count Millennium humidors were released in 2000 and there were no re-releases. Anthony's Cigar Emporium has ONE Maduro 100 count humidor left and a limited number of single sticks IN STOCK.
