The Havana Soul Cigars are hand made in Little Havana Miami, FL by Pepin Garcia. As you walk Calle Ocho (Eigth Street) in Little Havana, you might walk right by the small factory that produces this superb smoke. El Rey de Los Habanos is the factory where Jose Pepin Garcia skillfully creates some of the best cigars in the world. Pepin was born in Cuba and was considered to be one of thier finest Master blenders of cigars. While in Cuba, he helped blend cigars such as Cohiba, Partagas, and Montecristo. He fled Cuba and ended up in Miami where he now makes cigars using mostly Nicaraguan tobaccos, as he believes they are the closest to Cuban tobaccos in flavor and strength. Havana Soul is rich and full-bodied, with notes of brown butter, nuts and chocolate thanks to it's oily Corojo ྟ seed wrapper grown in Nicaragua. The Cuban triple-layered cap construction is flawless. The draw is effortless as you would expect from this masterpiece. This cigar has a very Cuban-esque flavor.
