The story of Padron cigars begins in Cuba, where Jose Padron learned how to cultivate tobaccos so as to create top notch 'puros.' As a refugee himself, Jose saved $600 and persevered through many challenges to serve Cuban style cigars to locals in Florida and, eventually, to the world. The Aniversario was released in 1994 to commemorate 30 years of business. This limited production selection serves up a complex flavor profile consisting of coffee bean, cocoa, earth, and hazelnut. Smooth and complex, each cigar is box-pressed in true Cuban tradition and aged four years.
