El Titan de Bronze.
These guys have done an amazing job. Just a small family business, with a great work ethic and Cuban Cigar Rollers. About the nicest people one could ever meet.
I met them through Gary Artz about 2 years ago, but found out later an interesting story: When Padilla decided to open his Fabricita on Calle Ocho to make cigars, he asked me for Mexican San Andreas capa to begin with. We selected two Super Selected bails for him that were 100% grade one and choice from there. After we shipped him the two bails, like 7 months went by and I noticed that the new little factory never opened. At that time he got into a war with the partner and shit got messed up there, but he sold one of those two bails to El Titan, which became the capa for the Redemption.
Later on, as I got to know the family at El Titan, and inevitably, as Willy Herrera moved to DE, we always got good laughs at how that Super Selected capa got to them through Ernesto. I wonder if they ever bought the second bail?
Good morning everyone.
