The Don Pepin Garcia Vegas Cubanas features a Nicaraguan Corojo wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, all grown and harvested at the Garcia family farms in Nicaragua. This medium-bodied cigar offers a complex flavor profile with notes of cherry vanilla, wood, earth, natural tobacco, and pepper, delivering mild to medium strength in the first third progressing to medium strength throughout the remainder. Vegas Cubanas delivers outstanding value, performing better than many cigars two to three times its price point of under $9.00.
Vegas Cubanas goes back to the early days of Don Pepin Garcia, created before the launch of My Father Cigars when Garcia's factory was El Rey de los Habanos in Little Havana. In 2017, Vegas Cubanas returned as a regular production offering, and in 2023 it was revamped with updated packaging and blend tweaks. Vegas Cubanas is now unofficially referred to as the Don Pepin 'Green Label,' sharing consistent design with other Don Pepin Garcia offerings. Production now comes from the My Father Cigars factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The smoking experience delivers vibrant notes of cedar, cocoa, leather, and pepper throughout a medium-bodied smoke, with sumptuous hints of leather, cedar, cocoa, and spicy black pepper. The Vegas Cubanas isn't an overpowering cigar in terms of nicotine or bold flavors, yet delivers unique and different Nicaraguan flavors. For an $8-10 cigar, Vegas Cubanas offers solid value with complex flavor and even burn, making it a quality Nicaraguan premium for a fair price.
