From my understanding it is a Nicaraguan puro.
I think all regular-line Padrons use Mexican-grown wrappers from the San Andreas valley, and I know the PAM '64 maduro does as well (not sure about the other Anny series).

The Padrons don't advertise this because there are so many people that prefer the term "puro" to be attached to the cigars, but they've been growing their wrapper in Mexico for years and I'd guess they'd tell you if you asked (the family, not some company mook).
