Padrón Cigars is a company that produces cigars from Nicaragua. The company was founded in 1964[1] in Miami, Florida by José Orlando Padrón. Padrón had moved there from Cuba. In 1970, Padrón moved the company to Esteli, Nicaragua.[2] Because of political problems in Nicaragua, the company opened a second factory in Honduras in 1977, and after an embargo was placed on Nicaragua by the United States in 1985, production was shifted entirely to the plant in Honduras.[3] The company did not continue production out of Nicaragua again until 1990.[4]
