Arturo Fuente and Padron—two of the most heralded family companies in the handmade cigar industry—are joining forces on a special project to honor the former patriarchs of each company.
Padrón, which makes all of its cigars in Nicaragua, is going to be crafting a smoke to honor Carlos Fuente Sr., the longtime leader of Fuente, who died in 2016. Fuente, one of the largest cigar producers in the Dominican Republic, has made a cigar to honor José Orlando Padrón, who founded Padrón Cigars Inc. in 1964 and died in 2017.
The two cigars will be sold together, side by side, in humidor-style boxes adorned with the images of each man, with their signatures as part of the cigar bands. Each cigar will measure 7 inches long by 50 ring gauge.
The cigars are being blended by the sons of the departed patriarchs, the next generation in each family. Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr. is blending the cigar made in honor of José Orlando Padrón, while Jorge Padrón is blending the cigar for Carlos Fuente Sr. Fuente.
