Il Padrino – Homage to the Cult Film
The self-proclaimed “Godfather of Cigars & Spirits” doesn’t just coincidentally reference Coppola’s masterpiece. Instead of swearing a mafia oath, you make a statement at Hacico with the kiss of the cigar band – affectionately called a "ring" in English: respect for craftsmanship and tradition. At Il Padrino, this ritual becomes a stylish gesture. The first puff of the cigar doesn’t simply begin – it is celebrated.
Design With Distinctive Recognition
Behind the striking design is creative mind Klaus Trommer, who gave Il Padrino its unmistakable appearance. The smoking skull and the elegant lettering immediately catch the eye. The stylish cigar boxes and artistically designed cigar bands are real eye-catchers and add highlights to any table.

Il Padrino was founded by three friends. The drive came from networker Don Michael, while all-round talent André Riehl – well known from TV – brought his passion for cigars into the mix. The former consumer advocate and QVC face brings real dedication to the project.
Premium Cigars & Drinks With Style
The result? Top-class boutique cigars with a strong personality. Each team member contributes their own expertise, which is noticeable in every detail. Hacico brings true variety to the humidor with Il Padrino – perfect for anyone who doesn’t just want to smoke the usual standards.

A prime example is the Luigi. It features an H2000 wrapper, while the filler and binder remain a secret. In terms of flavor, the Dominican Robusto offers medium to full-bodied notes – ideal for relaxed evenings.
Recipe Tip: Butterscotch Old Fashioned
The “Godfather” leaves nothing to chance – not even when it comes to pairing. Whether with rum or butterscotch – both pair perfectly with a cigar. The creamy liqueur with butter caramel and vanilla is smooth, sweet, and just right for fans of special aromas.
Butterscotch Old Fashioned – Here’s What You’ll Need:
- 5 cl Il Padrino Butterscotch Liqueur
- 2 cl Bourbon Whiskey
- 1 cl Sugar Syrup
- 2 dashes of bitters
Stir all ingredients over ice, strain into a glass with fresh ice, and enjoy. The Butterscotch Old Fashioned is a sweet twist on the classic cocktail – perfect for unwinding.
