Padron Cigars

At Padron Cigars, the Padron name is not only the brand name it is the family name. It is family honor and tradition that are the foundation upon which Padron Cigars has been built.

The Padron family has been involved in the tobacco industry since the late 1800s. Damaso Padron, the family patriarch, was born in the Canary Islands and later immigrated to Pinar del Rio, the richest tobacco-growing region of Cuba. There, along with Francisco and his other sons, he began working in the tobacco industry and developed the commitment of producing the best tobacco he possibly could. This commitment of producing the best tobacco is a tradition that has been passed down from one generation of Padron to the next and is the backbone of what Padron Cigars is today.

Today much has changed but much has stayed the same. Padron Cigars has fully integrated all aspects of the cigar manufacturing process, from planting the tobacco seed to distributing the finished product to cigar retailers. Padron Cigars now has over 600 employees working in our factories in Nicaragua and Honduras and our corporate headquarters, which are still in the same locale in Little Havana where it all started in 1964. Padron Cigars is still a wholly owned family business. Jorge, Orlando, Rodolfo, Lisette and Elizabeth Padron represent a new generation of Padrons working under Jos Orlando Padrons leadership to continue the family legacy.

Through the years, one thing remains and will remain unchanged the dedication to making the finest cigars.It all boils down to one simple belief when Padron is on the label, quality is a matter of family honor.
