A HELL OF A CIGAR IS BACK. BUT YOU CAN ONLY HAVE FIVE.

SOME CIGARS ARE NOT FOR EVERYBODY.

AND THANK GOD FOR THAT.

PADILLA BEFORE NIGHT FALLS

A RARE COROJO. A HELL OF A CIGAR.

For 23 years, we’ve had a peculiar habit at Padilla Cigars. We find the great cigar makers before the rest of the world knows who the hell they are.

Pepín García back in 2003. Oliva. AJ Fernández. El Titán de Bronze. Raíces Cubanas.

We didn’t need somebody to tell us these men knew tobacco. We smoked their cigars. We recognized the talent. And we went to work.

Twenty-three years later, we’re still at it.

Enter Yaxel Ortiz.

A young Cuban master blender with a small boutique factory and the sort of talent you can’t manufacture with a fancy advertising campaign.

Together, we created something rather extraordinary.

PADILLA BEFORE NIGHT FALLS.

Let’s talk about the wrapper.

A dark, almost menacing Cuban-seed Corojo. A rare tobacco with a character all its own. The kind of leaf that can make a grown cigar smoker sit up in his chair and pay attention.

This cigar has power. Real power.

But power alone is for amateurs. Any fool can make a cigar strong enough to knock your teeth loose. The trick is making one that has balance. Complexity. Character. A cigar that knows when to throw a punch and when to show a little grace.

Before Night Falls manages both.

It’s rich. It’s full-bodied. It’s wonderfully unapologetic.

And unfortunately, it’s becoming something else.

Nearly impossible to make again.

The Corojo wrapper is so difficult to obtain that we’ve had to suspend regular production.

What’s left?

Just a very small number of Toro 5-packs 6x52.

No grand promises about when we’ll make more. We simply don’t know.

FIVE EXTRAORDINARY TOROS. $79.99.

$16 a cigar. ONE 5-PACK PER CUSTOMER.

No discount codes. No ridiculous markdowns. And no apologies for the price.

This tobacco costs real money, and cigars like these were never meant to compete with the bargain bin.

We’re limiting purchases to one 5-pack per customer because we’d like more of you to have the opportunity to experience this remarkable blend.

Here’s my advice.

Cook yourself a magnificent steak. Pour a glass of something worthy. Find a comfortable chair after dinner, light one of these dark Corojos, and let the rest of the world go to hell for an hour.

You’ve earned it.

But don’t spend too much time thinking about whether to buy them.

Because when these are gone, they’re gone.

GET IT BEFORE NIGHT FALLS.
