Most bad cigars… aren’t bad cigars — they’re just lit wrong.
This week we’re covering Crowned Heads teaming up with My Father, Perdomo’s Father & Son project, and major regulatory shifts in the U.K. and California. We’re also spotlighting Padrón Cigars one of the most consistent brands in the game and breaking down how a simple lighting mistake can ruin your entire smoke.

INDUSTRY NEWS
PADRON CIGARS
Legacy, Consistency, and Timeless Excellence
Few brands command the respect that Padrón Cigars does. Founded by José Orlando Padrón in 1964, this family-run company has built its reputation on one thing: uncompromising quality. Every cigar is handcrafted in Nicaragua using aged tobaccos and time-tested methods that have remained consistent for decades.
Padrón doesn’t chase trends. They perfect what works — and the result is one of the most reliable, box-worthy brands in the entire industry.
Why Padrón Stands Out
One of the most respected family-owned cigar companies in the world
Known for unmatched consistency across every box
Uses aged Nicaraguan tobaccos for depth and smoothness
A go-to brand for both everyday smokers and special occasions
Padrón is proof that when you focus on quality and consistency, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
Blends Worth Trying
CIGARS CAN TUNNEL IF YOU LIGHT THEM WRONG
Ever had a cigar burn unevenly down the center while the outer wrapper stays intact? That’s called tunneling and it usually comes down to how the cigar was lit.
If the foot isn’t evenly toasted before your first draw, parts of the filler can ignite faster than others, causing the cigar to burn straight down the middle while the wrapper lags behind. It not only looks off—it can also mess with the flavor and draw.
The fix? Take your time when lighting. Rotate the cigar, toast the entire foot evenly, and avoid rushing into your first puff. A proper light sets the tone for the entire smoking experience.
It’s a small detail, but one that separates a good smoke from a great one.
🔥 Do you take your time lighting, or are you guilty of rushing it? Let us know your ritual!
STEALS OF THE WEEK
The El Mago Sampler is a top-tier collection of 6 cigars showcasing exceptional blends from the El Mago range, all grouped at a unique promotional price. This selected collection features the Renegade, El Pepe, Jaguar Limited Edition, Miami Art Deco, Miami Art Deco Maduro, and Disco Maduro — offering a complete range of flavor profiles from vibrant and spicy to deep and mellow.
Named the #3 Cigar of 2015, Flathead received an astounding 95-rating, noting: “From the first light, this seriously squared-off cigar takes off with notes of ripe fruit, leather, and molasses that only gain intensity.”
Cohiba Riviera Box-Pressed Perfecto is the newest addition to my premium cigar collection. The cigar initially peaked my interest because it was billed has having several firsts for this iconic Cuban heritage brand. The cigar is the first-ever box-pressed offering by Cohiba, It’s also the first time that Cohiba has used a San Andrés wrapper and Nicaraguan Condega long filler tobacco for any blend.
