Relive the Moments: Padrón – A Hammer & A Dream

On an unforgettable evening steeped in legacy, luxury, and purpose, The Tobacconist of Greenwich hosted “Padrón – A Hammer & A Dream”, a celebration of the enduring impact of José Orlando Padrón and the debut of the Padrón Rare Finds “A Hammer & A Dream” cigars and Old Elk 10-Year Padrón Edition Bourbon.

More than 340 guests joined us for this extraordinary event, making it one of the most well-attended experiences in our history. Together, we shared fine cigars, exquisite bourbon, and heartfelt conversations honoring the craftsmanship, perseverance, and values that define the Padrón name. A highlight of the evening was the rare cigar auction, which raised nearly $200,000 for the Padrón Family Foundation—a testament to the passion and generosity of our community.

The event featured a private screening of the short film “A Hammer & A Dream,” narrated by Jorge Padrón, providing a moving and deeply personal glimpse into the family's journey from humble beginnings to global legacy. The emotional resonance of the film, paired with the exclusive cigars and bourbon created in its honor, made for a night of both celebration and reflection.
