Il Padrino: Cigar Enjoyment With Style
The "Godfather of Cigars & Spirits," as the brand calls itself, deliberately references the famous film epic "The Godfather" by Francis Ford Coppola. While in the film the kissing of the ring symbolizes loyalty to the Don, at Il Padrino, the kiss of the cigar band stands for respect for traditional craftsmanship. The indulgent beginning of a special cigar moment is thus elegantly celebrated, for example when lighting a cigar from Il Padrino.
Distinctive Look: Il Padrino
Particular attention was given to the brand’s design, developed by Klaus Trommer. His striking artwork – a smoking skull combined with a dynamic script – impressively sets itself apart from similar brands. This results in stylish cigar boxes and cigar bands that are visually stunning and highly coveted by collectors.

Behind the project are three friends: the well-connected Don Michael, the versatile André Riehl – known from television shows and teleshopping – and a shared goal: to transfer their passion and knowledge about cigars into high-quality products.
Il Padrino: Boutique Cigars for the Humidor
The result is a selection of first-class boutique cigars that impress both in taste and appearance. Each of the initiators brings their expertise to the table, which is reflected in the high quality of the products. Il Padrino adds variety to the humidor and targets connoisseurs seeking something special.

A highlight is the Il Padrino Luigi. Beneath the high-quality H2000 wrapper lies a blend of aromatic Seco and powerful Ligero tobaccos. This medium- to full-bodied Robusto from the Dominican Republic delights aficionados with its complex character.
Il Padrino Butterscotch Liqueur: Recipe Idea for Connoisseurs
Of course, Il Padrino also offers matching spirits for indulgent pairings. Alongside the rum, the butterscotch liqueur is highly recommended – a creamy liqueur with an intense butter caramel aroma and delicate vanilla notes. Perfect for fans of sweet specialties!
