History and Background

The Padilla "Miami" was introduced in 2005 as the "Miami 8 & 11," named after the original factory which made the cigars, located near the corner of 8th Street & 11th Avenue in the Little Havana section of Miami, Florida.

The blend for this cigar was created by José "Pepin" Garcia and the cigars were originally manufactured at Garcia's the El Rey de los Habanos factory. Originally the salomons were rolled by Garcia himself.

In 2008 production was moved to a Miami factory owned by Padilla. Production was moved again in 2010, this time to a facility in Danli, Honduras.

The cigar in its current incarnation is a puro, with wrapper, binder, and filler all hailing from Nicaragua.

The band and packaging were designed by Ernesto Padilla.
