JORGE PADRÓN | Craftsmanship, Family and Defending the Cigar Industry

[@TimeAttack2003]

Padron makes the best cigars on planet earth! No question.

[@demetrioquiroz1665]

“If you have that vision of maintaining, you’ll grow” I needed to hear that

you are killing it with the amount heads in the industry, holts is the new cigar aficionado ,

[@tiredoffools8929]

Jorge is so impressive! I was honored to hear that two of his favorites are my absolute two favorites in the 50th Anniversary and the 80th! I've never had the Family Reserve 85....but now I have to remedy that. Thank you Mazz for the great work here!

[@Tommy.OrginalvideosPhilly]

In my opinion, the best cigars in the industry are being produced from these 3 Factories... Padron, Fuente, my father.

True very true but I think My Father and their diversity is taking over

[@timstort8223]

Heavy hitters, Padron stands alone on the mountain of greatness in the cigar world as a whole, Cuba included

[@asmirdragonjic3120]

I really enjoy these interviews ! It would be cool if you guys took a couple questions from us fans to ask these guys. Keep up the good work Holts 🎉

[@asmirdragonjic3120]

@DM-3Me nice try

[@GCOUNDOU]

yes great idea, do a live soon

[@sdmascar8905]

There is something so profoundly classy about gentlemen in suits, smoking cigars, and drinking whisky. Its mesmerizing.

[@CigarsnWhiskey]

Awesome video. Alot of people don't realize what is put into making cigars. Plus all the heritage behind them.

[@TheGAMEGod_YT]

Man, Anthony does such a great job.

[@jasonc_0928]

Excellent video as always. I attended the Padron event that day at the Northeast location and Mr. Padron was kind enough to sign a box for my Son as a college graduation gift. Had the chance to meet Mazz too!

[@Michelle.A79]

One of the most respected cigar family in Latin America. Just amazing! Jorge is so classy and elegant in every sense of the word! Just ❤️ luxury cigars!

[@jjbishop134]

Great interview! I hope I see a Lancero in the 1964, 1926 or Family Reserve.

[@JVegaTrio]

Can't go wrong with Oban and a premium cigar, that's for sure. These are great interviews, I'm really enjoying them. I'm Cuban, came to the U.S. in 1962 when I was 6; my maternal grandfather and uncles were "torcedores" in Santa Clara, I remember the rolling tables in my grandma's house. Good memories... Keep up the good work!

[@holtscigars]

Thanks for sharing!

[@zack5486]

Your channel is top notch. Much respect

[@dougbackman7788]

The '26 #48 Maduro changed my life.

[@aandk2594]

Not really a Padron guy (prefer predominantly Dominican dominant tobacco blends from Davidoff and Fuente) but I have a LOT of respect for the Padron family and their legacy. Great interview Anthony 🤙🏽

[@losdawg6265]

Padron. What else is there to say? The standard in which all cigars are compared. Awesome interview Ant!

[@tonysampson7003]

Two legends!

[@TheOmega4ever]

Great conversation! I really enjoyed the dialogue! Pardon is an outstanding cigar to sit back, mentally relax, and enjoy the essence of the smoke!

[@Luv2eetbeans]

Getting back into the cigar world and I’m very impressed with Holts since I’ve come back. Aside from local brick and mortars during my travels, I’m switching from my past go-to online retailers to Holt’s. Keep it up!

[@holtscigars]

Thank you for your support!

[@philvogt7671]

Just ordered 6 Perdomos and 5 padrons from holts!

[@holtscigars]

Thank you for the support!

[@jonathanreddish8590]

Can't blame you!

Keep it up Mazz, Absolutely love it

[@carlosrodriguez5900]

Thanks for video. I was visiting Miami and went to see central location by Stadium. Very good costumer service and nice place to smoke a cigar.

[@ericsparks4288]

Great interview. Love hearing from some of the “big ones” in the business and learning about the history and process involved to sustain a solid cigar company.

[@Nolan0314]

Really enjoy the interview videos. Always a pleasure to hear from industry leaders.

[@Joncartervoiceovers]

You guys do such great content. Fantastic interview with Jorge and one of my favorite brands.

This is an awesome interview, Great Job Mazz!

[@vfigueroa62]

Fantastic interview with one of the giants in the cigar industry. Thank you Mazz and crew for sharing. 🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼. But, remind George next time he comes in that he has to wear multi colored sox like Mazz. 😎

[@holtscigars]

That's a good point 😂

[@chipc4936]

Thank you, Mazz, for this very interesting video. Your content is always very much appreciated and enjoyed. Salud, brother!

[@alexchavez8394]

Awesome interview 👏

[@TheBrakedown]

1926 is best cigar ever

[@01sapphireGTS]

Really enjoy these interviews.

[@DeltaBird2269]

Jorge has always been one of those individuals that I look up to as a father figure or I guess I should say mentor😂hearing him talk about his experiences and his knowledge not only about the industry, but just life in general, completely different from any family brand out there! Yes he’s of course running a long standing business and naturally the goal of any business is to make money, but Jorge is in it for the quality, traditions, and lineage that the cigar industry is known for. Quality over quantity; padrón is the embodiment of that, and that is why they will always stay at the top!!

[@mtonyjr4176]

Great interview!

[@themutualfriend5286]

Im relatively new to the cigar scene, and ive only smoked one pardon cigar but i can say hands down it was one of if not the best cigar ive ever smoked.

[@holtscigars]

🙌

[@hecdc7703]

Great interview. Real class all around.

[@holtscigars]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the kind words!

[@gailsack2635]

I think Congress should be required to visit a cigar farm!

[@chasinjw5131]

Just an idea in helping build the industry not just a brand. Add in the question..."if you were out and offered a cigar that wasn't from your own line up, but they had everything else available....what would you choose?" Hearing a CEO say they enjoy another manufactures product would get people thinking outside their go loyalties, trying, and suggesting different cigars to friends and newbies.

[@marcgrandpre1622]

Great video!

[@intjsavagery219]

I love this interview. PADRON has become my favorite cigar. Their Tabasco is superb and their cigars always deliver full unadulterated flavor. Their tobacco reminds me of the fresh Tabasco I grew up seeing and experiencing in my country, Haiti. Both taste and smell are full and potent. I will be in the MIA in August and hope to visit Padron.

[@omidnamadi9262]

I never noticed how jacked jorge is , that jacket sleeve is exploding lol.

[@GamerNxUSN]

As much as I would be against government intervention, do you think something like a cigar version of a bottle in bond act would be beneficial?

[@augustinekirchoff479]

Yes I think more regulations can be good and don’t always mean no one can enjoy it anymore, for example alcohol industry is highly regulated and is very accessible

[@GamerNxUSN]

@@augustinekirchoff479 kind of. Depends on state

[@whbjr2528]

How many suits do you own?

[@whbjr2528]

@DM-3Me Is this for reals?

[@GCOUNDOU]

interesting that Jorge uses cigar as a prop, not smoking it.

[@holtscigars]

Can't smoke and talk at the same time!

[@NJT1013]

Did you just call Jorge George?

[@anthonymazzola4470]

Yes, he goes by that name. This is what most people in the industry use to address him.

[@NJT1013]

​@anthonymazzola4470 I'm just busting your choosing a bit, man. I've got Hispanic friends, one named Jorge, who's very particular about being called by his name as he shares it with his father and grandfather, and he's second-generation Mexican American so he wants to hold fast to his heritage. Great video as always, it was fun to hear Jorge recount some of his time in the business and his thoughts on Padron.

[@Cherokie89]

I sort of expected him to be more well-spoken
