[edit] GETTING STARTED

I'm still gathering info on the subject, and would appreciate anything you have to contribute. I would appreciate your e-mailing me before making any changes to this page until the end of the month. After that, have at it!

OK, I've taken this about as far as I can by myself for now, so am removing the edit tag. It is now open to all.

[edit] Guidelines

[edit] What IS a Pepin Garcia cigar?

• Any cigar blended AND manufactured by Pepin at either of his two factories is considered a PG cigar for the purposes of this article.

[edit] What IS NOT a Pepin Garcia cigar?

• Cigars whose blend was created by Pepin, but which is manufactured by someone OTHER than Don Pepin is NOT considered a PG cigar. This includes cigars from Tabacalera Tropical.

Somebody has been editing without registering and logging in. While this is OK, it would be nice to know who has been aiding the effort!

And why were Havana Soul and Spiriti Sanctus removed??? Don't just delete something without explaining why. I have reverted that edit and moved them to the listing for Cigar King, as they are house brands for that company.

[edit] Photos

I have a photo of Don Pepin for which I am attempting to track down permissions. With luck, it can be used here.

[edit] Pending Matters

[edit] Another Pepin brand

To be released soon is the La Amistad. I have no further details at the moment. When I find out more, I will include it where most appropriate.

Also, a box-pressed cigar (name unknown at this time) is scheduled to be released soon for E & O Brands.

[edit] Things to track down

• Who Pepin worked with in Nicaragua prior to coming to the US
• DOBYear obtained, but month and date are still needed.

• Name of Nicaraguan factory
• Name of wife; other children?

• Exact dates (at least years) for his peregrinations.

[edit] Notes on Sources

¡Ay de mi! Information is found scattered about the Internet, a little bit here, a little bit there, very rarely any large chunks of data. Listing everything would result in a very unwieldy list, so I am giving the sources with the largest amounts of data.
Glacierman 18:33, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Slowly citing appropriate sources as I have the time.

[edit] Notes

• The Tatuaje Cohetes: filler & binder - Nicaragua; wrapper - Nicaragua Corojo 99.

[edit] POV

He has gone from an unknown to one of the most highly sought-after cigar makers in a very short while. OK, he isn't yet in the same league with the majors, like Fuente and Swedish Match, etc., but he is on the top of the heap in the boutique arena, and his reputation is equal to people like the Padrons, Olivas, etc.

Edited for POV and removed POV tag.
