About the Dámaso line
The Damaso is Padron's milder line, released in 2015 and named after founder Jose Orlando Padron's father. It marked a deliberate change of pace for a house famous for full-bodied power: a delicate Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over aged Nicaraguan fillers, producing a smooth, creamy, mild-to-medium smoke with notes of cedar, nuts and light sweetness. It gives Padron loyalists — and newcomers — a refined, lighter option built with the same meticulous construction as the family's stronger classics.
