Don Pepin Garcia Imperiales 6 1/8″ x 52

The Original is the blue banded Don Pepin Garcia, the line that put the Garcia family on the map before My Father existed as a brand. Imperiales is its torpedo.

A Habano Rosado wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, full bodied, with cedar, black pepper, espresso and a sweet leathery finish. At 6 1/8 by 52 the tapered head narrows the draw and sharpens everything the blend is doing.

Pepin’s reputation was built on exactly this: a peppery first third that settles into sweetness rather than staying harsh. The Original is where that signature started.

Pairs well with bourbon, espresso, or porter.
