One of the most popular boutique cigar makers in the world, Jose “Pepin” Garcia of El Rey de Los Habanos recently announced his third and perhaps most exciting edition to his Don Pepin Garcia line, the Don Pepin Garcia Black. Also referred to as the Cuban Classic for its striking resemblance to old time Cuban Cigars, this may very well be the most full bodied cigar made by Pepin. Made entirely with rich extra fermented Nicaraguan tobaccos, the Black features a corojo wrapper and a unique mix of fillers from three different farms. According to El Rey de Los Habanos, the filler is what drives the full body and spicy flavor. The Black will be available in 6 sizes ranging from petit corona to a 6 x 52 toro. Each size in the line is named after a year that has been a milestone for the Garcia family. Jose Garcia is the master blender for the El Rey de Los factory and has created such highly rated blends as Padilla Miami, Tatuaje, Padilla (1932), Don Pepin Garcia and the Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ. Be on the look out for this exciting new brand in early 2007.
My mouth waters just thinking about this cigar. Especially knowing it is coming from one of the best cigar manufacturers in existence.
