The Don Pepin cigars were named after their creator Jose Pepin Garcia, his knowledge of cigars began when he was at the age of 11. Throughout the years he became a master blender in Cuba and started teaching on how to roll and blend cigars. Pepin had a natural talent and became a master of tobacco blending that saw him attain the highest rank of cigar rollers, this status was known as the tabaquero maestro. His masterful skills in cigar blending and rolling won him respect in the Cuba cigar industry and he went on to be part of the creation and production of the Montecristo and Cohiba brands. Thereafter he was offered a consultancy job of cigar making however he turned down the offer. It has also been said that at some point he was Fidel Castro's personal roller although this is yet to be confirmed.
Mr. Garcia soon left Cuba and began to work for Aganorsa, a well established and successful tobacco company in Nicaragua which belonged to a man called Eduardo Fernandez, he later moved his family to Miami after leaving Nicaragua in 2002 and it was in Calle Ocho in Miami that he began his cigar manufacturing business that he called El Rey de Los Habanos. Pepin has his very own cigar lines that are quite rare, they are made using Nicaraguan tobaccos and feature different kinds of wrappers, his cigars range from medium to full-bodied and in addition he has also produced cigars for Padilla, Pete Johnson among many others. The El Rey de Los Habanos factory currently has 12 rollers who are all class 8 cigar rollers which is a master rank, and are said to be his former students.
This is a list of some of Don Pepin's masterfully blended and crafted cigars. The first three brands are his very own while other brands are client brands and he is still involved in their production.
