Paying tribute to the year brand founder Ernesto Padilla’s father, Heberto, was arrested in Cuba for publishing a collection of poetry critical of Fidel Castro, Padilla 1968 is a premium with deeper meaning than most cigars on the market. It's also of a higher quality, as is standard for all of Padilla's sweeping portfolio, and the 1968 certainly meets/beats any expectations.
Hand rolled at Fabrica de Tabacos Raíces Cubanas in Danli, Honduras, this blend comes draped in a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper sitting atop long-leaf tobaccos from Nicaragua & Honduras. Medium to full in body, the Padilla 1968 boasts complex, earthy flavors including citrus, spice, coffee bean, and sweet cream. Completed with construction of the highest quality, you'll love Padilla 1968!
I bought these due to a sales offer, and I’m glad I did. Aromatic, good burn and draw. A most enjoyable smoke. I’ll buy these again

Not The Cigar I remember Buying!

I don't like returning cigars!... However, I felt like returning these after the 3rd cigar! This is not the series '68 I remember! Very bitter, they hardly stay lit! Won't buy again!

Beautiful cigar! Tightly packed. Oily wrapper. Seamless construction. Little veins. Flavor started out wonderful with notes of cedar, white pepper, sweet cream, and vanilla - with small hints of nuts and cocoa. Aroma was wonderful. However, after the first half, the flavors became heavy on the white pepper and char. Towards the last third, the cigar got hot and the char became more and more dominant. I gave it 4 stars because this cigar was very enjoyable during the first half, looked amazing, burned amazing, and had a wonderful aroma. If I could give half stars, I would've given this 3.5 stars. It just ended poorly. On a point scale I would rate this an 82. Decent everyday smoke. Worth the try but I probably won't buy again. If you're looking for a very good everyday smoke, the Cuba Libre is a much better and more affordable option.

These are the one of the best cigars in terms of price and taste I've had. Bought one box of the double toros to split with a friend and then went back to order another box. Absolutely a great smoke!

The disappearing, reappearing stick!
Dec 16, 2015
I had to do a double take when I saw these bad boys up for sale again. I purchased them a few years ago and fell in love, but didn't know that after only a few months later, they'd be gone. I kicked myself that I didn't buy more, and settled with the fact they would never be back again. I'm not sure what magic happened a month ago to bring them back, but they are, and I scooped them up! This is a great smoke. It starts out with a bit of pepper and some wood, then the cream kicks in and the combo of the three just blow me away! I only bought a box, but I plan on buying a few more next month so on the off chance they disappear again, I will have enough to smoke for a while. A must buy in my opinion!
