Damaso

"Dámaso Padrón gave us life, family, and our start in this industry. He was the first Padrón to arrive in Cuba in the late 1800s from the Canary Islands – it is in his honor that we offer this cigar."

The Padrón Dámaso Series is a tribute to Dámaso Padrón, the first member of the Padrón family to arrive in Cuba from the Canary Islands in the late 19th century, laying the foundation for the renowned company. Crafted in his memory, these hand-rolled cigars stand out not only for their heritage but also for their exceptional quality.

The Dámaso defies expectations of a typical Padrón: it is round rather than box-pressed, with a comparatively mild to medium-bodied profile. Yet in richness and character, it rivals the other Padrón lines. Its standout feature is the elegant Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, which imparts a soft, refined character. All tobacco is sourced from the Padrón family’s own Nicaraguan plantations, ensuring extraordinary consistency and supreme quality.

Flavor-wise, the Dámaso offers a layered experience: it opens with lively white pepper notes and subtle leather undertones, evolving into a complex blend of creamy honey sweetness, cedar, and delicate spices. The dense, creamy smoke delivers a perfectly satisfying smoking experience.

The Dámaso is ideal for aficionados who prefer a balanced, not overly strong cigar but still seek a rich, nuanced flavor profile. It serves as the perfect introduction to Connecticut-wrapped cigars, harmoniously combining Nicaraguan tradition with refined aromatics.

The No. 32 (Robusto Grande) differs visually only slightly from the No. 12 (Robusto) and No. 15 (Toro), distinguished by a red secondary band, and offers a slightly bolder flavor profile. Each cigar features an individually numbered secondary band to guarantee authenticity and prevent counterfeiting.

Over five generations, the Dámaso Series has perfected a sophisticated mild-to-medium profile, reflecting the Padrón family’s highest craftsmanship and dedication to cigar-making excellence.
