Jose \u201cPepin\u201d Garcia wants to make something clear: he won\u2019t talk about politics and claims that he doesn’t know anything about it nor understands any of it. When we meet, Fidel Castro had not yet died but the relationship between Cuba and the US is in the midst of a major process thaw. It seems therefore appropriate to ask Pepin how he feels about it, as a Cuban exile. \u201cGood\u201d is his short answer. Don Pepin has never gone back to his native country since he left it in 2001 for an escapade to Nicaragua that he doesn\u2019t acknowledge was a flight, rather a trip he never came back from. Says he: \u201cI went to visit Nicaragua and I just stayed\u201d. Does he miss Cuba after all these years? \u201cInevitably, one always thinks of one\u2019s country\u201d, he answers with a kind of smirk which seems to indicate he would prefer to leave it at that. \u201cAs far as Cuban tobaccos go, they will go on being the best in the world. But Cuba\u2019s opening won\u2019t affect me. My products are very similar to Cuban products\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don Pepin Garcia is known for his humility and simplicity. His immense success in the industry and the accolades he is regularly showered with have failed to turn him into a man who takes himself seriously. \u201cI am a very hard worker and I have a passion for cigars\u201d, he says as if these two factors alone explain his success. His pride in having appeared several times in Cigar Aficionado<\/em>\u2019s ranking of the Top 25 cigars has more to do with being able to offer aficionados delectable moments than being an object of admiration, even though it does make him happy.<\/p>\n

Champion of the champions<\/h4>\n

Bold, flavorful and perfectly crafted, Don Pepin\u2019s cigars are reputed to be the closest things to Habanos even though no Cuban tobaccos are used to make them. A small miracle. So much so than last year, the Cigar Journal<\/em> rewarded Pepin with a Lifetime Acheivement Award. A \u2018trophy\u2019 that comes on top of other prestigious titles such as Tabaquero Maestro (Master Blender), Torcedor Maestro (Master Roller) Class 8 (the highest). Pepin also won a Productivity prize once for rolling 320 Julietas in four hours. Nevertheless, he simply doesn\u2019t seem all that impressed with all the honors. Maybe they disturb his sense of modesty, which is reputed to be deep seated. Surrounded by his children Janny and Jaime, who work and live with him when in Miami, Pepin is quite simply just happy to be doing what he loves best: blending tobaccos and rolling cigars. Beside his own stogies, sold under the brands Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label, Don Pepin Garcia Serie JJ, My Father, Cuban Classic, Black Edition, El Centurion, Don Pepin also makes puros<\/em> for reknown brands such as Tatuaje, Ashton, Aroma de Cuba, San Cristobal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He was 11 years old when he started his career as a roller working for his uncle in Baez (Villa Clara Province). \u201cI was born and grew up in a cigar factory\u201d, he comments. His talent was immediately obvious to all. The F\u00e9lix Rodriguez factory noticed him and gave him a job. There, he rolled cigars for the likes of Montecristo, Cohiba, Romeo y Julieta, Quai d\u2019Orsay and Ramon Allones. In a matter of a few years, he became the best torcedor<\/em> in Cuba, a master whose expert hands would become legendary. They soon called him the \u201cmagician\u201d. Over the years, he would go on to teach his skills to more than 200 rollers.<\/p>\n

Reunited, the Garcia family wouldn\u2019t separate again. \u201cSince we are constantly together\u201d, says Jaime, \u201call we do is talk about tobacco, all the time\u201d<\/h4>\n

Yet Pepin wanted more freedom for his trade than the island was capable of allowing him to have. From Nicaragua, he moved to Miami via Mexico in 2002 with his son Jaime. His daughter Janny had already moved to the US five years before. Reunited, the Garcia family wouldn\u2019t separate again. \u201cSince we are constantly together\u201d, says Jaime, \u201call we do is talk about tobacco, all the time\u201d. Between all the brands, Don Pepin produces about 10 000 000 cigars per year. His own personal favorite is the Don Pepin Azul even though he sometimes smokes a My Father Flor de Antillas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, Pepin Garcia has two factories, one in Miami, El Rey de los Habanos, and the other in Esteli (Nicaragua), Tabacalera Cubana. The latter employs 4000 people, 1300 of which are full time workers. One of this modest man\u2019s biggest satisfaction is the fact that he has being able to contribute to Esteli\u2019s social progress. \u201cWe have participated in the building of a hospital and schools. The region has greatly benefited from the presence of tobacco producers. It\u2019s wonderful\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At 66 years old, Don Pepin has no intention of retiring. He would get too bored. He also wants to keep expanding the European market. As of now, he exports 50 000 cigars to Germany and 100 000 to 200 000 to France. \u201cWe should be able to do better\u201d, he concludes.<\/p>\n
