Don Pepin Garcia Black Edition
When Pepin Garcia came to the United States, he had nothing and might as well have been “Don Nobody”. A mutual friend in the industry, Paul Palmer from Tabacalera Tropical introduced us. I was asked to buy cigars from Pepin to help him out. Pepin came to Philadelphia, sat on my floor, and rolled cigars on a stool so we could sample blends. I would bring back great duty-free scotch from trips and we would drink the bottle in his small office in Miami. I considered him a friend and his cigars were fantastic. I loved one of the blends Pepin made and he started to sell them to me for my personal use.
Around 2005, Pepin began to make a brand for us exclusively called Rey Miguel. I think it’s one of the best cigars in the world. We began spreading the word of this terrific cigar maker along with a select few others who were with Pepin since his early days here in the U.S. Pepin became an overnight sensation and his cigars and popularity have reached unprecedented levels.
As a thank you, in March I received a very sad phone call. A man I’ve never met, John Gonzales, who has some kind of title in Pepin’s organization informed me that Pepin’s factory would no longer make cigars for me or make the Rey Miguel. I was and still am upset as I considered Pepin a friend. I was blown off.
Enjoy these cigars at rock bottom prices as I no longer wish to help my former friend. I hope that one day soon our relationship can be reconciled. As my good friend Jose Blanco once said to me. " Never forget who brought you to the big dance because just as fast as they built you up…"
