Padrón Cigars — Local services in Miami

I have been smoking Padron cigars for about 5 years. I like the Padron Delicias Maduros because they are just the right size for me. I usually smoke one every night. Whenever anyone asks me why I almost never buy anything else, I tell them that my #1 reason is the 'draw'. It's always perfect and effortless..I can ALWAYS depend on that from cigar to cigar. But lately, every one...almost without exception is plugged solid. It's like trying to suck a thick milkshake through a narrow straw. The company must have some new torcedors. I talked with some cigar manufacturers during an open house at 'Ye Old Pipe and Tobacco here in Phoenix, AZ. They told me that many of the best manufactures test the draw before they send them out...perhaps Padron is skipping this step now. What ever the reason, I'm afraid that I am going to have to switch brands after all these years because I'm tired of fighting with these smokes...I usually wind up throwing them out because they are too much work to smoke. Sad day for me. Maybe they are under new management and the emphasis is more on production...

Best cigars outside of Cuba, maybe better. It's extremely difficult to tell the difference between an outstanding Cuban cigar and Padrons. I've been smoking Padrons for 51 years and I personally think they are the best hand rolled cigars available outside of Cuba. Once you've smoked a Padrons, you'll never go back to another brand of cigar. These are top shelf and top quality cigars and you will know that the moment you taste these high extraordinary cigars. If you are unsure what type of cigar you should choose as a first time cigar smoker the staff will answer every question you have and explain the difference between each and every cigar they professionally hand roll individually the old fashion and old country way. I've tried other brands and am always disappointed because they don't have the same high quality flavor that...

I was happy to discover that Padron's headquarters was in Miami and I made time to visit. They have a store front and carry everything from their product line. I bought two boxes just to say I bought something from there as it's normal retail prices.

There were multiple members of the Padron family there working and every single person I interacted with was incredibly friendly, polite, and happy to chat about anything. I learned a lot about cigars and they even showed me around the office (they don't roll cigars on site, that happens in Nicaragua) where they have boxes upon boxes and get them ready for shipping to retailers.

As a regular smoker of Padron cigars it was a very enjoyable visit and I am glad I took the time to visit.

When I arrived the door was locked, but there's a ringer that gets someone's attention...
