Padróns Celebrate 45th Anniversary With New Cigar

(1/1)

--- Quote ---Forty-five years ago today, José Orlando Padrón formed the cigar company that bears his name. The Cuban émigré, who came to the United States in the early 1960s with nothing more than a few hundred dollars and a solid work ethic, worked as a landscaper and a carpenter and used the money he saved to form a small cigar company to make cigars like the ones he grew up smoking in Cuba.

--- Quote ---To celebrate the milestone of reaching 45 years in business, the Padrón family released the Padrón Family Reserve No. 45, a six-inch long, 52 ring gauge, box-pressed cigar made from very old Nicaraguan tobaccos. The cigars will be made in very limited quantities, and shipped at various times. Most of the cigars in this initial shipment are maduro, but some have natural wrappers. "The tobacco inside is aged for 10 years," said Jorge Padrón. The cigars will retail for $25.80.
