Padilla Before Night Falls

Robusto

Robusto · 45–60 min smoke · Short and thick — the modern default. Plenty of filler for body in a contained, hour-or-less smoke.

At the counter · Forgiving cap — clean guillotine cut; toast the wide foot fully before the first draw to avoid a hot start.

Padilla's PCA-return blend with Yaxel Ortiz, a Cuban-seed corojo wrapper over Esteli and Jalapa fillers delivering volcanic Nicaraguan intensity with cedar and cocoa. Named for Reinaldo Arenas' 1992 memoir. · Released 2025
