La Reloba Sumatra and Mexican

Released to the market in May 2010, La Reloba comes in your choice of a hearty Habano or semi-sweet Sumatra wrapper and features a flavorful mix of Nicaraguan long leaves masked with a Nicaraguan binder.

Don Pepin Garcia is arguably making some of the best cigars on the market. His secret family recipe for blending and fermentation has been handed down generation to generation since his family's beginnings in old Cuba. Today, Pepin is using this time honored process to make cigars which many aficionados consider to very reminiscent of the best Cuban cigars available today.

Medium-bodied with many competing nuances that make for a complex yet elegant experience, La Reloba showcases a dark, seamless Sumatra wrapper or a toothy Habano that sports a red hue. The aged Nicaraguan fillers create a bold character while the majority of the complexity in these blends stems from their individual wrapper leaves. These sticks are stunning from pre-light to the nub - all well-constructed and consistent from stick to stick. As an affordable alternative to some of Pepin's other highly acclaimed blends, La Reloba is a winner.
