The Padrón sampler box is one of the best ways to truly understand a cigar brand. 🤎

Inside this collection is not just different ci**rs, but different experiences shaped by vitola, wrapper, to***co ageing, and blending technique. It allows you to slow down and discover how small changes in a cigar can completely transform flavour, strength, and character.

One of the reasons Padrón is so respected around the world is their extraordinary consistency. Every cigar is handcrafted in Nicaragua using well-aged Nicaraguan to***cos, producing the rich balance and smoothness the brand is famous for.

As you enjoy the sampler, you begin to notice:
• How a Maduro wrapper brings deeper cocoa, espresso, and dark sweetness
• How Natural wrappers reveal more cedar, earth, spice, and roasted nuts
• How thinner ci**rs can feel more intense and concentrated
• How larger ring gauges allow flavours to develop slowly and smoothly

This is what makes cigar appreciation so fascinating — learning how craftsmanship, ageing, and size all influence the experience.

A sampler box like this is not simply about smoking different ci**rs. It is about educating the palate, understanding the artistry behind handmade ci**rs, and discovering which styles speak to you most.

This is not just another cigar night… this is an experience we carefully created for our community.

For our special Las Villas Ci**rs Night, we wanted to bring something fresh, exciting, and unforgettable to Harrogate — combining premium ci**rs, great company, laughter, and genuine moments shared together.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome Jack Carroll — Britain’s Got Talent 2013 finalist, award-winning comedian, actor, writer, and television personality. Since capturing the nation with his sharp humour and fearless honesty on BGT, Jack has appeared on some of the UK’s biggest television shows including Live at the Apollo, Would I Lie To You?, Sunday Night at the Palladium, and Comedy Central. He has also starred in film and television projects while continuing to tour comedy venues across the UK with his brilliantly witty and self-aware style.

And beyond the stage, Jack is also a fellow aficionado, which makes this evening even more special. Expect laughs, stories, banter, and maybe even a few friendly roasts throughout the night.

Alongside this, guests will discover the world of Las Villas Ci**rs — beautifully crafted Nicaraguan ci**rs gaining attention amongst aficionados for their flavour, balance, and character imported by Barkers of Harrogate.

What makes us most excited is seeing people travelling from different parts of the UK just to join these gatherings. Every event we organise is thoughtfully planned to bring new experiences into our community and create evenings people will genuinely remember. Whether you’re a long-time aficionado or simply curious to explore the cigar world, you’ll be warmly welcomed.
