A little bit about Pastor Padron.

The ‘pastor’ in Pastor Padron is legit, meaning that for 20 years I have been an ordained pastor with the CCCC (Conservative Congregational Christian Conference). I speak and teach at local churches in southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I have an MA in Theological Studies from Reformed Theological Seminary and an M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary. I am the author of several books which are all available here.

‘Padron’ references one of my favorite cigar brands. I am a Certified Retail Tobacconist and Certified Sommelier Cigar Tobacconist personally trained by Tobacconist University founder, Jorge Armenteros. Since 2016, I have been working full-time in the cigar/pipe industry and am currently the Retail Operations Manager for Twins Smoke Shop and the host of the Not Just Blowing Smoke podcast which reviews cigars and pipe tobaccos, and interviews personalities in the cigar, pipe, and spirit industries.
