There’s now a maduro version of the Don Pepin Garcia Original, known more commonly as the Blue Label, but if you want to get some you’d better hurry and you’d better know where to look. Only 630 18-count boxes have been produced, with 315 going to Casa de Montecristo in Chicago and the other 315 to Atlantic Cigar in Pennsylvania. Both retailers have already listed the cigar for sale on their websites. A habano maduro wrapper replaces the Corojo 99 leaf used on the original, while the Nicaraguan binder and filler remain the same. The Don Pepin Garcia Original Maduro is being released in just one size, a 6 1/2 x 52 toro vitola. An 18-count box has an MSRP of $162.00, or $9.00 per cigar. Janny García, vice president of My Father Cigars, confirmed details of the release to halfwheel and added that it is a “one time production, no more will be made.” (Image via Atlantic Cigar, used with permission.)
