Y Father, it all began from a very humble beginning when Jose Pepin Garcia and his family established a very small cigar factory in Little Havana in 2003. Jose Pepin Garcia could not have imagined at that moment that his love and passion for cigars would help him build one of the most recognized companies in the cigar industry. His companies have become synonymous with highly rated and well-distinguished brands.

The Garcia family continues to follow the tradition they lived and learned in Cuba and proudly own two factories, the headquarters in Doral, which is a boutique factory with a team of twelve expert rollers trained by Don Pepin himself. The other is the Garcia Family Industrial Park in Estéli, Nicaragua with more than three hundred cigar rollers. Both factories are responsible for the twelve company owned brands that exist in the marketplace today.

Originally released in 2012, the Flor de las Antillas was named after Cuba, the largest and most beautiful of the Greater Antilles islands. With artwork from the early 1900’s, the Garcia family once again honours the island & their birthplace with this latest creation. This 3/4 to full-bodied blend is a perfect combination of Ecuadorian wrapper with Nicaraguan binders and fillers.

The Habano sun grown Oscuro wrapper and the gentle box pressing give the cigar complexity and balance. The filler is a combination of tobaccos harvested from farms in La Estrella, La Bonita 1 and Las Marias, owned and operated by the Garcia Family. This cigar has an ideal combination of strength and delicacy with notes of creamy leather and a sweet and salty finish that resounds on the palate, producing a beautiful white ash giving it a great finish.
