Padrón has begun shipping the first batch of refills of its 50th Anniversary humidor to customers both domestically and internationally.

Customers who purchased the humidor are able to purchase a refill of 50 cigars, either all Maduro and Natural or versions, or a half-and-half mix of the two cigars, both of which measure 6 1/2 x 52. Regardless of the option selected, the cigars sell for $2,000, or $40 per individual stick.

The Padrón 50th Anniversary humidor made its debut at the 2014 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show and was one of the most talked about items of the industry’s annual gathering. Limited to 1,000 individually numbered humidors, each of the showpiece boxes contained 50 cigars and carried a hefty price tag of $5,300. The company released the first batch of humidors and cigars to retailers in the final two weeks of December 2014, with more released early in 2015.

Shipping began approximately 10 days ago according to a company spokesperson, and will continue until all refill orders have been fulfilled, with pacing determined by receipt of the cigars from the company’s factory in Nicaragua.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
