Padron 1964 Anniversary Series

First up on our Top 5 Family Brands is a cigar none other than the Padron Family. Back in 1964, the Padron family started making premium cigars in Miami. Through the years they’ve made cigar lines dedicated to the Padron family by making anniversary cigars. Today, we have the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series in the No. 4 Maduro. This smoke is an homage to when the company was founded 58 years ago.

Alec Bradley Magic Toast

Established in 1996 by Alan Rubin, Alec Bradley Cigars were named after Rubin’s sons, Alec Rubin, and Bradley Rubin. I’m not sure you can keep it in the family any more than that gesture. As of recent, Alec and Bradley Rubin have carved their own path as cigar manufacturers and savants, but I would be remiss to not include a cigar from Alec Bradley’s original catalog, a cigar that put Alan Rubin and his company on the map, the Magic Toast.

This 6 x 52, medium to full-bodied was inspired by Alan Rubin’s magic feeling that he had while roaming the Honduran tobacco fields to produce his new blend. Cloaked in a Honduras wrapper, The Magic Toast has binder and filler tobaccos that hail from Honduras and Nicaragua. Some flavor notes you’ll detect while smoking the Magic Toast are earth, wood, white pepper, and cocoa that are produced from the oily Honduran wrapper.

Available in ten different sizes, that come in a pack of 5, a box of 10, and a box of 24, you can get the Magic Toast from Alan Rubin of Alec Bradley today on our website.

Diamond Crown Julius Caesar

Last but not least, we have the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar to round out our Top 5 Family Brand cigars. Before getting into the actual cigar, I’d love to briefly discuss how Diamond Crown cigars came to be. Julius Caesar Newman came to America from Austria in search of the “American Dream”. In 1895, Newman started his company and it completely thrived like none other. From the 1940s-1960s. J.C. Newman had tobacco facilities to manufacture cigars in Cleveland, OH, and Tampa, FL.

Fast forward to today, where the most popular smoke under diamond crown is Julius Caesar, named after the brave founder of the company that we know and love today. The Diamond Crown Julius Caesar is cloaked in an Ecuadorian Havana seed wrapper, while having filler tobaccos from San Andres and the Caribbean, and a binder from the Dominican Republic.

This 7.25 x 52 medium-bodied gem has delicious flavor notes of cinnamon, burning wood, coffee, and cedar. If you enjoyed what you experienced with the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar, then check out one of its four other sizes that come in a box of 20!

When it comes to this cigar, the Diamond Crown Julius Caesar is a superb puff and is the epitome of how family owned-businesses can thrive through any adversity.
