Autumn 2017

The founder of the world-renowned brand Padrón is considered a legend in the cigar industry. For our cover story, we spoke to him about the most moving events in his life, as well as his upcoming autobiography. Memorable Moments in My Life does not merely document the life of the patriarch and thus a story about realizing the American dream – it is also a piece of contemporary history.

We’ve been on the road a lot and had a look around in the cigar scene in Kuala Lumpur for you and explored Chinese cigar production. What’s more, we give traveling passionados in-depth information about where to find the best places in Buenos Aires, Nashville, Chicago, Santiago (Chile), and Prague to sit back and enjoy.

If you missed this edition, you can order a back-issue.
