In regards to the macanudo vintages... Those are made with tobacco grown the year that is listed on the band... For instance... The Mac vintage 2000 is comprised of 10 year old tobaccos... The 1997... 13 year old tobacco... The 1993... 17 year old tobacco etc etc etc.

1964 was the year the company was started. I believe the Aniversario series were originally released in 1994 for the 30th anniversary of the company. I didn't start smoking cigars until 1998 so I missed out on the original Aniversarios.

Side note: really looking forward to the Padron 50th Anniversary cigar in a few years.

edit: just checked the Padron site to confirm the info on the 1964
