Cabaiguan by Don Pepin Garcia


Belicoso Finos 5 1/2 inch by 52  $9.00

Nicaraguan with Ecuadoran-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper

Cabaiguan is a release from master cigar blender Pepin Garcia, the maker of the famous Tatuaje line of cigars. Named after his hometown in Cuba, Cabaiguan, pronounced (kah-bei-gwahn), is another example of Pepin Garcia’s talent as a cigar blender. Blended with a Connecticut shade Ecuadorian grown wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler, the Cabaiguan is a medium to full-bodied cigar, slightly milder than the Tatuaje but equal in flavor and complexity. The cigar is earthy and spicy, with a creamy quality. Pepin Garcia blends with the flavor of his homeland in mind and has reproduced that flavor so well that while smoking Cabaiguan you can close your eyes and feel like your smoking a Pre-Castro Cuban.

You have to try this cigar!
