The Cigar That Built the Garcia Legacy
Before the accolades, before the empire of My Father Cigars, there was Vegas Cubanas. This was Don Pepin’s intimate, unfiltered love letter to the Cuba of his youth—the cigar that whispered of cedar humidors in Havana and the scent of roasted coffee drifting through narrow streets.
Handcrafted in limited quantities, Vegas Cubanas offered a glimpse into what was to come from the master blender, pairing clean Corojo spice with rich Nicaraguan soil. Now reimagined and re-released from the family’s Estelí stronghold, it returns as both time capsule and testament. A medium-bodied journey laced with honeyed toast, coffee bean, and soft cinnamon, it's a blend for the purist and the romantic alike. A throwback with purpose. A heritage smoke made modern again.
First third:
Opens with bright cedar, soft leather, and toasted almond. Notes of fresh earth and citrus linger on the finish.
Middle third:
Baking spice and cinnamon warm the palate. Coffee bean and caramel emerge, smoothing the profile.
Final third:
Creamy leather and roasted nut deepen, with a return of cedar and subtle mineral notes for a clean, classic finish.
Smoke output is steady and aromatic. Draw remains effortless with razor-sharp burn lines and minimal touch-up required.
Vegas Cubanas isn’t just a cigar—it’s a page from cigar history. It represents the roots of the Don Pepin dynasty, long before My Father became a household name among connoisseurs. This cigar is for those who appreciate not only flavor but also lineage—smokers who want to taste where it all began. A medium-bodied classic that lives in the tension between memory and rebirth.
