Padilla Cigar Company has a new line that is inspired by celebrated cigar enthusiast Winston Churchill. This month, Padilla Finest Hour, a three-blend line, will begin to arrive at retailers nationwide.

Padilla Finest Hour draws its inspiration from Churchill’s legendary “This was their finest hour” speech that he delivered to the House of Commons on June 18, 1940 as Great Britain was in the midst of the Second World War.

There will be three blends. The Padilla Finest Hour Connecticut will feature an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a double Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Honduras. Finest Hour Sungrown is a 100% Nicaraguan puro highlighted by a Habano seed wrapper. Finally, Finest Hour Oscuro features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, double Nicaraguan binder and a combination of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. All three blends will be offered in three sizes: Robusto (5 x 52), Toro (6 x 52), and 6 x 60. Each size is presented in 20-count boxes. The company is not disclosing the factory name.

Padilla Cigar Company owner Ernesto Padilla has said a soft launch will be done for Cuban Crafters Cigars (Miami, Florida) Mt. Vernon Tobacco (Baltimore, Maryland); Lordsburg Cigar Lounge  (La Verne, Calfornia), Brown and Sons Premium Cigars (Olympia, Washington), and Lake Worth Cigars (Fort Worth, Texas). A national launch party is scheduled for Casa De Montecristo by Prime Cigar & Whiskey Bar in Miami on January 24.
