Padrón Cigars is introducing a new line of cigars for the first time in seven years! Get ready for the Padrón Dámaso, aged minimum three years. The Padrón Dámaso is Padrón’s first new regular production line since 2008. NOW WITH TWO NEW SIZES (No. 32 and No. 34) WITH A SECONDARY RED LABEL DENOTING A NEW FULLER BODIED BLEND.The Padrón Dámaso is a round parejo, Connecticut Shade wrapped cigar, being a true departure of the sharply box pressed Nicaraguan puros that Padrón is famous for. "This is a totally new blend, completely different than anything we have done before," Jorge Padrón, president of Padrón Cigars Inc., told Cigar Aficionado. "It's Connecticut our way." The Connecticut seed wrapper is the first by Padrón. The company has worked with a specific “formula” in terms of all of its releases – namely releasing a Nicaraguan Habano natural and a Maduro wrapper with 100% Nicaraguan long fillers. The Padrón Dámaso features a Connecticut seed wrapper from an undisclosed country over Nicaraguan binder and filler leaves. The Connecticut seed wrapper is believed to be the first by Padrón. The company has worked with a “formula” in terms of its releases – namely releasing a Nicaraguan Habano natural and a Maduro wrapper. The Padrón Dámaso is rolled adjacent to Padrón’s main cigar factory in Estelí Nicaragua "It's made next to the existing factory, in an area where we used to store [tobacco] bales. We moved the bales and made that into the [Dámaso] factory," said Jorge Padrón, President of Padrón and son of José Padrón. Jorge said his strategy was to make a milder cigar, but one that still had character. "It has to taste like tobacco, it has to have flavor," he said. "Everything is still the same—we just didn't want to mix the two. It's important to separate." Jorge Padrón indicated the change required hiring some new workers, but the majority of the workers on the new project had worked at Padrón before. "Ninety percent of the people are coming from within," he said.Padrón describes the cigar as “for those who seek the quality and consistency of Padrón in a milder taste profile.” The cigar is mild to medium bodied.ALL SIZES HAVE ARRIVED AND IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP IMMEDIATELY!
