Patriots celebrate with a cigar....

Kraft was seen handing out Padrón 1964 Anniversary Series Maduro cigars to his players and coaching staff as he congratulated them on their victory.

I promise guys if you win me a Super Bowl my cigars will be a 96 or better!

Yes, America, NC all the way!

Now that Cuban cigars are legal to bring into the US without too much difficulty, I think a billionaire giving out Padrons to millionaires is insulting...and slightly bizarre.

Then again, there are many people who feel those cigars are superior to any Cuban cigar (as Cuba no longer produces the best).

Hey, just cool to see any cigars handed out to anyone in such a modern environment. At least Kraft has some appreciation for tradition and the finer things!

Good that he was passing cigars around. A rare thing these PC days.
Thanks for posting it.

Well, it's long, brown and has a distinctly unique aroma, but it's probably not a cigar!

That is what I was thinking...about time!

Could he not afford the 1926's?

Nothing wrong with Padrons, one of the best NC's around IMO, love them be they Family reserve, 1926's or Padron 2000's  great cigars.

I'm rather fond of the Family Reserve 85 years in maduro and just recently had my socks blown off by the Padron 1926 90th Anniversary in Natural!  Love it! 

I love smoking cigars with all kinds of different flavor profiles. As long as they're done well.  I have my favorites and go to's  but I find venturing outside of my wheelhouse allows me to further appreciate what I enjoy even more.

Definitely a big fan of Padrons. Always on point.

Boston has a long and dignified cigar culture.  Too bad there is only one cigar bar remaining in the City.

NC's do generally have better construction than Habanos and use of the whole world's tobacco allows for a great spectrum of flavors.  When was the last time you had a poorly constructed NC Davidoff or Padron?  I like Habanos as much as anybody, but they're still not to the consistency level of the best NC's....

the padron 64 series is the cigar I lived on for a very  time before I made the transition to all Cubans, but I really did enjoy the cigar in fact if I ever hit up cigar lounges again I would probably smoke one again

Those cigars looks under inflated.  Time to suspend Brady another 4 games.  As a Patriots fan, giving Brady a 4 game rest is not the worst thing in the world.  And the motivation it provide the guys is worth it. 

As for the cigars, it doesn't matter what Kraft pulled out, someone, somewhere on some internet forum is going to complain that brand X wasn't handed out.  For me, good on Kraft for doing it.  What type of cigars don't matter as I'm not the one smoking it. 

[Orion21]

I'm sure Mr. Kraft was handing out what he enjoys to smoke. Good on him.  Great game.

Regardless of the smoke choice, the fact that he chose to celebrate by offering cigars to the guys is such a class move by a classy guy! There is a reason why the organization is celebrating their fifth Super Bowl. Class and hard work usually rises to the top.
