Padrón Modifies Cigar Bands
Padrón Cigars has begun making a small but noticeable change to the cigar bands that adorn the Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series, Serie 1926 and Dámaso Series product lines. Some have already made their way to market as the company gradually rolls out the new design.
Many of Padrón’s top-tier cigars have dual bands, one overlaying the other, with the bottom band showing an assortment of numbers. The company is phasing out that type of band, and is replacing it with a single, one-piece band incorporating elements of both designs.
“We made a design change, so now the bands are integrated,” says Jorge Padrón, president of the company.
The Family Reserve Series will also move to using a single, integrated band, but that won’t happen for some time.
“It’s going to be gradual,” Padrón says.
Special releases such as the 90th, 80th, 45th and others that have a secondary band will not lose their secondary band.
