In 1968, Heberto Padilla told it like it was. And in Cuba at the time of Castro’s Revolution, it took balls of solid brass to do something like that. It could quickly get you killed and nearly did lead to the end of Padilla’s life. His poems, critical of Castro, were too much for the regime to handle. Padilla was put under house arrest. Eventually, he was yanked into prison and tortured. Enough was enough – he immigrated to America, living out his years as a free-speech hero and literature professor.

The Padilla Serie 1968 Black Bear cigar is a beautiful addition to the line celebrating Padilla’s year of making his mark on history. The first installment of the series was a Nicaraguan puro that offered a reasonably classic profile. After that, two Connecticut wrapper versions were created. The Golden Bear is a Connecticut shade cigar, while this Black Bear uses a Connecticut broadleaf Maduro to bring a new flavor to the mix. The gentle Nicaraguan spice is there, but earth and nuttiness make this a smokable blend.

That may be one of the most surprising things about the Padilla Serie 1968 Black Bear cigar. There are a lot of folks out there who are quietly making this a big seller. It’s a go-to for a growing number of cigar smokers who have their choice of so many blends. Honestly, we’re spoiled for options. But there’s a bunch of people out there who would happily smoke this Maduro over anything else when it comes to a regular stogie.

The spirit of Heberto Padilla is definitely alive in the Black Bear. It’s reliable and unshakable, just like he was.
