Padilla Cigars
Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 11:57AM Regarding the recent post in the Wrapper Chatter, I need to clarify and correct some issues. First, I have spoken with Mr. Padilla and he informs me that the information in the post is incorrect. Mr. Padilla was not contacted by me prior to publishing the piece and this was a significant oversight on my part and was very regrettable. I apologize to Mr. Padilla, and the audience for my poor judgement. I had received the information from what I consider a reliable source but failed to demonstrate reasonable care in attempting to verify the information or to obtain a response from Mr. Padilla prior to publication.
Those that know me, know this is not the way I typically operate.
I sincerely apologize to everyone and especially to Mr. Padilla for my actions.

Would this reliable source be the same one that claims Cuba imports a fair amount of tobacco from Nicaragua? I've tried to get confirmation of this but only get response that this is an urban legend. It would be fun to have it confirmed just to stir the pot among the purists :)
