Casa de Garcia: Cigars from La Romana at Fair Prices
These affordable long-filler cigars originate from La Romana in the south of the Dominican Republic. La Romana is particularly known for its significant sugar industry and its cruise terminal at the mouth of the Rio Dulce, which attracts many travelers.
Nearby is the famous artist village Altos de Chavón, known for its idyllic atmosphere and celebrity stories. Among others, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley were married here. Did the King of Pop enjoy the celebration with a good cigar? Probably not, as he was known for being excessively health-conscious, including using an oxygen tent at night – an anecdote that remains a topic of conversation to this day.
Pepe Garcia and His Cigars
But back to the topic: Casa de Garcia. These cigars are produced in the Tabacalera de Garcia Cigar Factory, which once belonged to the Cuban exile Pepe Garcia. Garcia was part of the Menendez family, which managed the famous H. Upmann label before the Cuban Revolution. After the nationalization of the Cuban tobacco industry, Garcia emigrated and successfully applied his expertise elsewhere.
Casa de Garcia: A Recipe for Success
Pepe Garcia brought his knowledge of tobacco and cigars to the production process, and it shows: the long-fillers stand out for their high-quality craftsmanship and well-balanced blends. Economically, the brand has made all the right moves. Now part of the tobacco conglomerate Imperial Tobacco, Casa de Garcia caters to budget-conscious connoisseurs. By avoiding luxurious boxes and selling cigars in affordable bundles, the brand focuses on what matters most – the quality of the tobacco.
Casa de Garcia: Quality for Every Budget
The brand offers two popular series: the mild Connecticut Cigars and the more intense Maduro Cigars. Both series are popular with aficionados who value great taste while keeping an eye on their budget.
