Padilla Maduro band

History and background

The brand was created by Ernesto Padilla and is manufactured in the Dominican Republic.[1] It was introduced in 2003.[2]

Description

The wrapper is Mexican San Andrés negro;[1] the binder is Nicaraguan and the filler is a blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos.[1][2] The cigars come celloed in varnished boxes of 20.[2]

The band was designed by Ernesto Padilla. The ends and the top represent pen points and are a tribute to his father, Cuban ex-patriate, poet, writer and teacher Heberto Padilla.[3] The blue and silver background distinguishes it from the band of the Padilla Hybrid, which is black and gold.
