Padron Damaso No. 12 is a Robusto that offers the same quality and craftsmanship you've come to expect from a cigar with the Padron name but in a milder taste profile. Wrapped in a Connecticut shade leaf, these cigars bear the name of Damaso Padron, the first of the Padron dinasty to arrive in Cuba from the Canary Islands and start growing tobacco.

  Padron Damaso

  Padron Damaso is a real departure for the Padron family, as this is their first Connecticut Shade wrapped cigar, and it is also a round shape, contrary to their usual box-pressed cigars. The cigar is mild to medium and includes Nicaraguan fillers in the blend. The cigar is named after Damaso Padron, grandfather of the company's founder, Jose O. Padron. This smooth and creamy cigar from Padron offers notes of caramel, hay and hazelnuts.

  Padron

  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.
• Cigar Wrapper
  Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade

  The 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 Binder
  Nicaragua

  The 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 Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
