Stogie Commentary: Every Cigar Has a Story

Sometimes you just need to see something to appreciate it. In this YouTube video we visit the Tabacalera Cubana Factory of Don “Pepin” Garcia in Esteli, Nicaragua, whose smokes have taken the premium cigar world by storm:

The speed and ease with which Pepin rolls cigars is most impressive. You also see the dozens of people who are involved in the process of making handmade cigars. They might not all have their name on the band, but it is their hard work and skill that create your cigar.

So the next time you’re enjoying a fantastic smoke (particularly a Pepin-made cigar like the Tatuaje or Pepin’s namesake line) be sure to appreciate the hard work and skill that went into creating your tobacco treat.
