Padron
The Padron cigars were produced by Jose Padron in 1964. Originally from Cuba he moved to Florida where he set up his cigar company and seven years after, he moved to Nicaragua in 1970. It is at this time that there was political unrest in Nicaragua and because of this instability the Padron family had no option but to open a new factory in Honduras. The Padron family went through a lot of hardships and at some point they were living in a one-bedroom apartment above their cigar factory. Times became more challenging for the family however their focus on producing high quality cigars was unwavering.
During the 80?s the Padron cigars were mainly bought by the Cubans living in Miami, Florida. Eventually in 1993, the pardon attended a trade show that saw them lose their intended customers. Most people felt the cigars were overpowering and no one was interested in a sun-grown wrapper, furthermore these cigars were relatively cheap compared to other brands and since many people associated cigars with high-class lifestyles and expensive taste, no one wanted to buy a cheap cigar.
Initially the Padron cigar had only three lines, the original Padron and the 1964 and 1926 Anniversaries. The Padron family handles all its production and distribution of their product. They are medium to full-bodied cigars made in the family?s factories based in Nicaragua and Honduras. The tobacco used for the binder and filler is Nicaraguan and every cigar is offered in Natural and Maduro. The Padron series includes, Delicias, Londres, 3000, 5000, Churchill, Ambassador, Panetela, Executive, Magnum, and the list goes on.
