Don Jose "Pepin" Garcia
You may or may not of heard of this guy. In fact, if you have heard of him and smoked his cigars. Then you can probably attest to this article. This is not an exhaustive history of Pepin and his brand, but I was hoping to simply educate the noneducated about Pepin and his cigars.
In a very short period of time, Pepin has solidified himself as one of the best cigar makers in this industry. Pepin's story is alot like many other cigar makers in this industry, he emigrated from Cuba with his family, seeking a better life, and began plying his craft making cigars destined for the American market. However, Pepin was not a cigar maker in Cuba, rather he was one of the best rollers to ever come out of the country.
Shortly after coming to the states, Pepin opened his factory El Rey de los Habanos and began cranking top quality cigars bearing his own brand as well as making brands for other guys. One of the hottest brands that helped put Pepin on the map was Tatuaje, owned by Pete Johnson. Today, cigar companies are seeking out Pepin to blend a roll cigars for him, as he is about the best in the business right now. Pepin works predominately with Nicaraguan tobaccos and is known for his fuller flavored tastes. Some of the brands he makes are: Don Pepin Garcia brands including Vegas Cubanas, La Reloba and Jaime Garcia, Tatuaje, La Aroma de Cuba and Murcielago.
When you pick up a DPG made cigar you will find that it will have these qualities; rich flavors, great quality tobaccos, and an impeccable construction and draw. Next time you come to the store, ask one of us to point you to these great brands and see for yourself.
