The blends of Padilla cigars are developed by Ernesto Padilla with the help of master blender Jose "Don Pepin" Garcia and Gilberto Oliva, among other well-known makers. The results are easily seen, for in the short time that the company has been in existence, it has become recognized in the premium cigar industry as one of the leading boutique cigar companies, and its cigars have consistently been given high ratings.
