## History and background[edit]

The brand was created by Ernesto Padilla and is manufactured in the Dominican Republic.[1] It was introduced in 2003 to the open market.[2]

## Description[edit]

The wrapper is a dark Maduro wrapper from Mexican San Andrés negro;[1] the binder is Nicaraguan and the filler is a blend of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Honduran tobaccos, which are described as bringing notes of white pepper & spice, cocoa and espresso.[1][2] The cigars come celled in varnished boxes of 20.[2]

The band was designed by Ernesto Padilla. The ends and the top represent pen points and are a tribute to his father, Cuban ex-patriate, poet, writer and teacher Heberto Padilla.[3] The blue and silver background distinguishes it from the band of the Padilla Hybrid, which is black and gold.
