Before My Father's cigars, there were Don Pepin Garcia cigars. In the early 2000s, the maestro de maestros from Báez, Cuba, was starting what would soon become one of the tobacco industry’s greatest “second acts” ever. After rising to nearly unparalleled success in his home of Cuba, José Garcia was turning the page and launching his own cigar company. In 2002, he formalized his El Rey de los Habanos factory in Miami and went to business.

Now, 20 years later, everyone who knows tobacco knows his name – or at least his nickname. And so, Don Pepin Garcia's 20th Anniversary Limited Edition cigars celebrate a lifetime of success. And he ain’t even done yet!

This blend is the first part of a trilogy. It includes Don Pepin’s signature Nicaraguan tobaccos, including the fragile but flavorful Pelo de Oro leaf in the filler. The wrapper is a handsome Nicaraguan Habano 2000 dressed to the nines and ready for a formal event. You pour the whiskey (or perhaps pop some champagne?), and the cigar will do the rest.

For those living under a rock, Don Pepin has earned two Cigar of the Year awards (one for My Father Le Bijou 1922 and another for Flor de Las Antillas). He’s a master not just of flavor balancing and blending but also of cigar construction. He can supervise the process from end to end and hand you a cigar that will have you swearing off anything else. Once you smoke a Don Pepin blend, you will look at half the stogies on the market sideways afterward. It’s hard to measure up. And in this Don Pepin Garcia 20th Anniversary Limited Edition cigar, you get his classic notes in total harmony. It’s spicy without going overboard, and brings in a wealth of notes from hickory, chocolate-covered almonds, steaming fresh roasted coffee beans, and beyond.

Call him maestro for his mastery or ability to put together a symphony of flavor – make sure you put a healthy medallion of respect on his name – he’s earned it and then some.
