Along with the packaging change, Padilla Miami also sports the original Nicaragua Corojo wrapper the blend had when the cigar was first released. This change brings back the spiciness and richness of the original Miami blend.

"The new factory gives us something we have not had before, total control over production of our cigars," continued Padilla. "We will now be able to give our consumers the best possible cigar we can and we should be able to deliver those cigars in greater quantities than ever before. We will also be able to put together new blends and bring them to market much quicker than before."

Besides Padilla Miami, Padilla Signature 1932 and Padilla 1948 will be manufactured at Fabrica de Tabaco Padilla. Padilla's two other lines (Padilla Habano and Padilla Series 68) will continue to be manufactured in their respective factories.

In addition, Fabrica de Tabacos Padilla will create special edition Padilla cigars and ultra premium blends that will only be made in Miami.

Besides being a cigar factory, the new location will also serve as destination for both cigar lovers and those curious about the Cuban tradition of cigar making. The factory will house a cigar lounge and retail store that will not only feature Padilla cigars, but cigars from other Cuban families with ties to Little Havana including Padron and La Gloria Cubana.

"We really want people to come experience the true Cuban tradition of cigar making," said Padilla. "Our new factory will really bring a piece of Cuba to cigars smokers."
