Easton, Pennsylvania based retailer Famous Smoke Shop is celebrating 75 years in business, and they now have a special exclusive cigar to commemorate the occasion. Today the retailer has announced that Padrón Cigars has made available a limited edition cigar that will be carried exclusively by Famous – the Famous 75th Padrón Anniversary Cigar. The cigar is now currently available from the retailer.
The Famous 75th Anniversary Cigar is based off the Padrón 1926 Serie line. It is a 5 x 54 box-pressed robusto. As with most Padrón Cigars, the Famous 75th Anniversary will be available in a Nicaraguan Habano or Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper. The cigars are available in ten count boxes and there is a total production of 3,000 boxes. Consistent with the 1926 Serie, a serial number will be on the cigar band. There will also be a secondary band indicating the exclusive cigar to Famous.

The project for the Famous 75th Anniversary is described as a collaboration between Jorge Padrón and Famous Smoke Shop CEO Arthur Zaretsky – two second generation men in the cigar business with a combined 115 years experience. Zaretsky’s parents founded Famous Smoke Ship in 1939 in New York City before the store was moved to Pennsylvania.
“Both Jorge and I owe a lot to our parents and the values they taught us,” said Mr. Zaretsky in a press release. “So, in celebrating our 75 year legacy as Famous Smoke Shop, and in the spirit of family, we celebrate you – our customer – with this special cigar from Padrón.”
