On one hand you can count the number of cigar makers who arrived on the scene and changed the game. At the top of that very short list is Jose “Pepin” Garcia, and boy did he turn the industry on its ear. At the time, there was no one making cigars that captured the essence and flavor of Cuban cigars. His unique fermenting and blending style, coupled with his small batch production in Miami, quickly catapulted his cigars to the top of aficionados hit lists. With his well-deserved success, expansion was the only way to keep up with demand. He quickly established the My Father factory in Nicaragua and began to transfer production and expand his portfolio. One of his first brands was Vegas Cubanas. While it was initially made in his Miami factory, after its opening, he shifted production of this brand to his new Nicaraguan operation.
Vegas Cubanas is Don “Pepin” Garcia’s tribute to the beautiful tobacco fields in Cuba that he spent his youth working in. The brand name comes from the name given to tobacco fields in Cuba- “Vegas.” As a tribute style cigar, Pepin selected a fine blend of tobaccos to be used in this brand, featuring Nicaraguan filler and binder leaves, along with a Corojo Rosado hybrid wrapper leaf that he developed. This medium bodied cigar features tasting notes of pepper, earth, and cedar with hints of citrus, cocoa, and leather. Vegas Cubanas is a classic blend that will remind you of the 1st cigars produced by Don “Pepin” Garcia.
