Default Re: Padron Question

I was told this info by another cigar maker (not a rep) who I'd rather not name because I'm sure he wouldn't want to publically say anything that could be taken as a knock no Padron ... but you would all know the name of the cigar maker I'm talking about.

Anyway, he said that he's toured the Padron's facilities, knows the family, and enjoys the product himself ... the only trouble he has with them is that (in his opinion), they are less than fully honest by letting people believe their tobacco is all grown in Nica when in fact the wrappers are grown in Mexico.

Again--I have nothing against Mexican tobacco. Pepin's new Murcielago (EO Brand) uses a Mexican binder and wrapper, and I'm told it's an awesome cigar (have not smoked one). And I don't care where the grow the wrappers for the Padrons, as I love Padrons. If I learned they encourage cockroaches to crawl all over the PAN wrapper leaf, it would not change the fact that I love that cigar.
