• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
• Origin
  Nicaragua

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.

  Quite possibly one of the world's most well-known and respected cigar brands, Padron is a testament to hard work and commitment to quality. 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.
