Padron Damaso No. 12

Named for Damaso Padron, the first family member to grow tobacco after migrating from the Canary Islands to Cuba in the 1800s. A departure from Padron's usual style — cellophane-wrapped rather than box-pressed, and finished in Ecuadorian Connecticut rather than the brand's usual Nicaraguan wrapper — for a creamy, approachable profile of cedar, black pepper, almond, and nougat.
