Like many cigar companies, Padilla Cigars has a number of cigars in the works for the 2015 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show happening in July, one of which is a new line called La Pilar. This new blend is a bit of a homecoming for Ernesto Padilla, as he returned to Tabacalera Aguilar in Honduras for the production, the same factory and owner—Juan Carlos Aguilar—that was responsible for the Padilla Series 68. A bit has changed since the initial announcement, as it was once expected to ship in May with four sizes: a 5 x 54, 6 x 52, 6 x 57 and 6 x 60. Instead, the cigar will debut at next month’s trade show in two confirmed sizes, a 5 x 50 robusto and 6 x 50 toro, with both the 6 x 57 and 6 x 60 being considered, and the price for all sizes expected to be under $8 per cigar. This will be one of three cigar coming from Padilla at the trade show, with Padilla Corojo and Padilla San Andrés both coming from Raíces Cubanas, which has also produced cigars for the company in the past.
