Patoro

Having gained extensive experience at Davidoff, Patrick Jonas Martin founded Patoro in 2001.

A subtle combination of his first name and ‘Oro’ (Spanish for ‘gold’), the new brand aims to be an ambassador for the richness and traditions of the Dominican Republic.

Patoro has been built on an artisanal approach and a meticulous attention to detail. Patrick has always focused on small-batch production of cigars crafted from aged tobaccos, using leaves selected for their exceptional quality.

These limited production volumes mean the brand remains somewhat under the radar for now, allowing Patrick and his team to offer cigars with perfect rolling and balanced flavours.

In 2014, Pablo Richard (the grandson of Dr Ernst Schneider, former owner and Chairman of the Oettinger Davidoff Group) decided to leave surgery to pursue his greatest passion – cigars – and joined the wonderful Patoro venture.
