Il Padrino – Cigars
Il Padrino – A Tribute to Marlon Brando
The “Godfather of Cigars & Spirits,” as Il Padrino confidently calls itself, charmingly alludes to the iconic character from Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece “The Godfather.” While kissing the ring in the film is a symbol of unwavering loyalty, at Il Padrino, the cigar band – known as the “ring” in English – becomes a symbol of respectful devotion to the tradition of cigar enjoyment. This elegant ritual builds anticipation for a unique indulgent experience and celebrates the passion of true aficionados.
Distinctive Design by Il Padrino
Special care went into designing the brand. Responsible for it is Klaus Trommer, who succeeded in giving Il Padrino a powerful artwork. The smoking skull and the elegant script set new standards in the cigar world. This exceptional design defines stylish cigar boxes and artistically crafted bands – details that connoisseurs appreciate and love to celebrate.
Il Padrino is a heartfelt project by three friends. The initiative came from Don Michael, a well-connected expert in the scene. He is joined by the multi-talented André Riehl – an experienced cigar ambassador also known to a wider audience as a TV host. However, his true passion has always been the refined pleasures of premium cigars.
Il Padrino: Masterful Cigars and Exclusive Drinks
The result of this partnership is first-class boutique cigars that delight both the eye and the palate. Each of the three founders brings top-level expertise to the table – a boon for connoisseurs who value variety in their humidor and are looking for new flavor experiences.
A prime example of their quality is the Luigi. Beneath a fine H2000 wrapper lies a select binder of unknown origin and an aromatic blend of Seco and Ligero tobaccos. The result is a characterful Dominican Robusto with a medium to full-bodied flavor profile.
Il Padrino Butterscotch Liqueur – Recipe Idea: “Butterscotch Old Fashioned”
Even when it comes to pairing, Il Padrino leaves nothing to chance: In addition to the rum, the Butterscotch is recommended as a sweet, creamy alternative. This liqueur seduces with intense butter caramel aromas and delicate vanilla notes – a tribute to lovers of sweet delicacies.
Ingredients for the Butterscotch Old Fashioned
- 5 cl Il Padrino Butterscotch Liqueur
- 2 cl Bourbon Whiskey
- 1 cl Sugar Syrup
- 2 dashes of bitters
Stir all ingredients carefully over ice, then strain into a chilled tumbler glass over fresh ice. The Butterscotch Old Fashioned seduces with its harmonious blend of sweet toffee notes and a robust whiskey base – an exclusive moment of indulgence.
