Jose "Don Pepin" Garcia 1979 Cuban Classic
50 x 5 $6.25
Don Pepin Garcia Black is the newest, and most affordable blend in the Don Pepin line. The full-bodied ‘Cuban Classic’ is crafted in Pepin’s recently opened factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. His famous Corojo ’99 wrapper surrounds an all-Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos to create a spicy, bold smoke. Its flavor has hints of cedar and coffee with a complex, rich aroma. The Master Blender Don Pepin Garcia once again exhibits his skill in producing some of the finest quality cigars off the ‘island’ in the ‘Cuban Classic.’

My humidor is going to have these stocked all the time. The petit corona is called the 1952 and for me this is what a small cigar should be. It’s strong enough to satisfy even the most experienced cigar smokers. And given it’s short size it’s perfect for a quick smoke when you only have 30 or 40 minutes.
