Last year, Ernesto Padilla showed off a new Padilla 1932 Oscuro at the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, this year the company will show off a new Padilla 1932, once again being produced at Raíces Cubanas in Honduras.

It uses a “high priming corojo” wrapper, a double criollo binder and Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa.

The Padilla 1932 is offered in six sizes.

  • Padilla 1932 Robusto (5 x 50) — $9.50 (Boxes of 20, $190)
  • Padilla 1932 Toro (6 x 50) — $10 (Boxes of 20, $200)
  • Padilla 1932 Torpedo (6 x 52) — $9.75 (Boxes of 20, $195)
  • Padilla 1932 Double Toro (6 x 60) — $10.50 (Boxes of 20, $210)
  • Padilla 1932 Lancero (7 1/2 x 42) — $10.50 (Boxes of 20, $210)
  • Padilla 1932 Churchill (7 x 50) — $9.75 (Boxes of 20, $195)

The 1932 line was originally introduced in 2006 when Padilla was still making cigars at El Rey de los Habanos. Padilla then tried making the cigars at his own factory in Miami, before production eventually moved to Raíces Cubanas in Honduras. In May 2012, Padilla announced he was discontinuing the 1932 line as he revamped his portfolio. It returned two years later as an exclusive to Meier & Dutch, the distribution company associated with Cigars International.

It pays tribute to Herberto Padilla, the famed Cuban poet and Ernesto’s father, who was born in 1932.

The 2017 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show begins July 11 in Las Vegas, Nev.
