The Padrons don't advertise this because there are so many people that prefer the term "puro" to be attached to the cigars, but they've been growing their wrapper in Mexico for years and I'd guess they'd tell you if you asked (the family, not some company mook).

I've smoked with Jorge Padron three times over the years and he never told me this.He has always told me it is all the exact same tobacco with the only difference being aging and selection.
FWIW I have no stake in this discussion,purely repeating what I was told.
