Padron Dámaso is a departure from the traditionally full-bodied Padron style, offering a smoother and more approachable profile while maintaining the brand’s commitment to quality. Named after Dámaso Padron, the grandfather of company founder José Orlando Padron, the line pays tribute to the family’s early tobacco heritage.
Unlike most Padron cigars, which feature Nicaraguan wrappers, the Dámaso line uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The result is a medium-bodied cigar with a creamy texture and balanced flavors of cedar, nuts, and subtle spice. Introduced in 2015, the series broadened the Padron portfolio by offering a refined option for smokers seeking a milder expression of the brand’s Nicaraguan blends.
