TOBACCONIST TO NORTH CAROLINA'S TRIAD SINCE 1998
Exclusive To The Pipe And Pint
El Rey de Los Habanos by Don "Pepin" Garcia
The Pipe and Pint is proud to announce the return of Don Pepin Garcia’s El Rey de los Habanos. The El Rey de los Habanos has been re-blended, and Pipe and Pint is now the exclusive home and distributor of this iconic line. Originally released in 2005, El Rey de los Habanos was the first national release by Don Pepin Garcia after arriving in the United States. It is named for the famed factory located on Calle Ocho in Little Havana, Miami Florida, where Pepin first started manufacturing cigars for the Garcia and Tatuaje portfolios. The new El Rey de los Habanos features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler that come exclusively from the Garcia’s own family farms, mostly located in Esteli. All of leaf being used for this cigar goes through a special process of fermentation, sorting, and quality control in the factory to yield the unique flavors and aromas that were sought out for this blend. While smoking the newly re-blended El Rey de los Habanos in Miami, Pepin was quoted as saying, "This cigar is my answer to the all of the people who say I can't blend a milder cigar with full flavor.”

La Colonia Miami
La Colonia Miami line is a collaboration between La Colonia Cigars and the famed Casa Fernandez/Tabacalera Tropicale factory in Miami, Florida. A reprise of an old Cuban brand from the 19th century, with the “Flor de Aganorsa” paying homage to Eduardo Fernadez’ Aganorsa fincas. La Colonia Miami is a throwback to the Cuban cigars of yesteryear, emphasizing flavor and aroma with strength as a by-product, leveraging beautiful Jalapa sweetness over heavy Esteli spice, showcasing the nuances of what Nicaraguan Aganorsa tobacco is known for.
