The Padilla Serie 1968 cigar line commemorates the year that Heberto Padilla, father of Ernesto Padilla, published Fuera del Juego, a book of poems critical of Fidel Castro and his government. A few years later, the book would land Heberto in jail. He was released 37 days later, but only after he delivered a statement admitting guilt. Clearly, Heberto Padilla was a man of great courage. It's of little surprise that his family would honor him with not just the Padilla Serie 1968 cigar line but other lines as well.
Padilla Serie 1968 cigars come in three versions: the Padilla Serie 1968 cigar, the Padilla Serie 1968 Black Bear cigar, and the Padilla Serie 1968 Golden Bear cigar. All three run on Nicaraguan long-fillers and binders, and the wrappers vary for each.
The Padilla Serie 1968 cigar wrapper is a Nicaraguan Cuban-seed Corojo leaf. Expect notes of cedar, sugar, citrus, and cream.
The Padilla Serie 1968 Golden Bear cigar wears a graceful Connecticut wrapper. This smoke delivers flavors of creamy spice, cedar, and old leather.
The Padilla Serie 1968 Black Bear cigar is draped in an ultra-dark Connecticut broadleaf. Puff on this dark as pitch stick and treat yourself to notes of sweet coffee, dark chocolate, wood, and baking spices.
Please enjoy Padilla Serie 1968 cigars at your leisure.
