Don Pepin Cuban Classic

The Cuban Classic is the newest blend in the amazing trio of cigars that make up the Don Pepin line. The Cuban Classic is made in Pepin’s new Nicaraguan factory and like the Don Pepin Blue label and the Don Pepin Serie JJ, it has an all Nicaraguan blend using Pepin’s famous Corojo 99 wrapper. The cigar is full-bodied, carrying that now classic Pepin flavor, and he always manages to get very different flavor profiles using all Nicaraguan tobacco. Each cigar he produces has its own unique characteristics that prove his blending genius.

The Cuban Classic has flavors of strong black coffee with plenty of spice and cedar with a refined undertone of bittersweet chocolate. The Don Pepin Cuban Classic shows once again that Don Pepin is incapable of producing just a good cigar - he always blends the best.

Don Pepin Blue Label

Don Pepin Blue Label is the Original. It pre-dates the famous Tatuaje and was one of the first major blends produced in Pepin’s Miami factory. Both Blue Label and Tatuaje began to gain fame about the same time and due to some high cigar ratings and publicity Tatuaje gained a larger reputation. The Blue Label became an underground smoke for those who were "in the know." It wasn’t until Pepin’s name became as well-known as Tatuaje that the Don Pepin Blue Label was discovered by the main-stream - and thank goodness for the main-stream.

The Don Pepin Blue Label is full-bodied and has flavors of coffee and cream, like a great latte, and a Nutmeg spices abound with a rich barley undertone like a dark German wheat ale. This all Nicaraguan blend proves an original can’t be beat.

Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ

Don Pepin Garcia received the rank of Tabequero Maestro while he was rolling and blending cigars in Cuba. Before Pepin left Cuba he was considered the top roller in Cuba. He brought his genius to Miami in 2002, founded his cigar factory, El Rey de los Habanos, and began creating the most exciting and impressive new blends on the market. He has blended the famous Tatuaje, Cabaiguan, and Padilla Miami 8&11. Don Pepin has also trained his son, Jaime, in the way of tobacco and together they have blended his newest masterpiece the Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ. The JJ stands for Jose (Pepin’s first name) and Jaime. The Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ is medium to full-bodied building to full-bodied as it is smoked. The Series JJ is a Nicaraguan puro composed of Corojo Wrapper with a Criollo binder and a mixture of Corojo and Criollo tobaccos for filler. The flavors are deep and rich carrying distinct flavors of earth with loads of spice. The finish is smooth and creamy with hints of coffee bean that meld together like the ideal café con leche. These flavors blissfully linger on the palate until the next puff. Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ is the perfect example of a full-bodied smoke showing once again that Pepin and his son, Jaime, are masters of tobacco.

A NEW "OLD" BRAND!

When you smoke a Don Tomas Candela, you are taken back to an era when “Green was King”.  In the 60’s nearly every cigar smoked in the U.S. was made with a green Candela wrapper.  And now, nearly forty years later, Don Tomas Candela has been reintroduced on a limited basis. The Candela wrapper used on this cigar is an amazing 18 years old.  U.S. cigar hasn’t rolled candela cigars since the early 80’s and there were four bales of Candela wrapper waiting patiently to be resurrected.  The flavor of Candela is very soft and mild.  In respect to its 60’s heritage, retro Don Tomas bands and boxes were brought out of the storerooms and used just for the Candelas.
