  1. Earlier this year, Piloto Cigars Inc. filed for an interesting trademark, Damaso. Piloto Cigars Inc. is better known as Padrón and Dámaso is in reference to an earlier patriarch in the family, Dámaso Padrón, grandfather of José O. Padrón, the companys founder. In 1890, Dámaso left the Canary Islands and would eventually begin growing tobacco in Cuba. Now, his name and face is on a cigar. For Padrón, its not just a way to honor their heritage, but also a fairly radical Padrón for the relatively traditional company. Its a milder cigar with a Connecticut-seed wrapper over Nicaraguan fillers. Furthermore, it will be round, as opposed to the box-pressed nature of most of the companys cigars. It will also be placed in cellophane, another unusual trait for Padrón. Four sizes are planned: No. 8 (5 1/2 x 46), No. 12 (5 x 50), No. 15 (6 x 52) and No. 17 (7 x 54). Pricing has not been finalized. The cigars will go on sale at the 2015 IPCPR Trade Show & Convention and are regular production items. Source: http://halfwheel.com/round-connecticut-padron-damaso-coming-to-ipcpr-2015/88333 This piqued my interest because of the Connecticut-seed wrapper, the non box-pressed Padrón shape and the mild to medium-bodied flavour (rather than the normal full-bodied flavour). My question is this...are Padrón preparing the American market for a Padrón (dare I say) 'Cubanesque' cigar in readiness for the anticipated influx of Cuban cigars once the embargo is further eased and/or lifted? Executive Editor of Cigar Aficionado, David Savona has recently conducted an interview with Padrón President, Jorge Padrón in regards to this release.
