Padron Cigars was founded in 1964 by Jose Orlando Padron, a Cuban exile with nothing but a hammer to do carpentry work in order to make his dream of cigarmaking come true. Today, Padron Cigars is one of the most prestigious brands made in Nicaragua, where the company grows and cures their own tobacco to use in the production of their premium handmade cigars. The Padron family supervises the process from seed to the cigar box both in Nicaragua and at their headquarters in Little Havana, Miami.
• Cigar WrapperEcuadorian Connecticut ShadeThe wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
• Cigar BinderNicaraguaThe binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar FillerNicaraguaFiller is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the “guts” of the cigar.
