Don Pepin Garcia E.R.H. Robusto

Don Pepin Garcia E.R.H. Robusto is a 5 x 54 cigar that revives El Rey de los Habanos, the line named after Pepin Garcia’s original factory in Miami’s Little Havana. My Father brought it back in 2024 and 2025 as Don Pepin Garcia E.R.H. The cigar is a tribute blend, with a flip top cedar box of 20.

Each cigar is handmade in Estelí, Nicaragua, at the My Father Cigars factory. A Sumatra Rosado Oscuro wrapper grown in Ecuador, oily and reddish brown, covers a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers from Condega, Estelí and Jalapa. The strength is medium to full. Expect leather, dark chocolate, earth and oak, with spice, anise, clove and nutmeg. Reviewers describe an early peppery character, with cedar and espresso developing as the cigar burns.

The 54 ring gauge is a Robusto Extra, a little thicker than a classic Robusto. Developing Palates reported an excellent, straight burn and a firm ash, though some testers found the draw snug. Plan on roughly 90 minutes. It suits an unhurried evening.

This cigar appeals to smokers who like Cuban style Nicaraguan blends. It is also a good choice for anyone interested in Pepin Garcia’s earlier cigars.
