Casa de Garcia: Cigars from La Romana at Affordable Prices
The city of La Romana, located in the south of the Dominican Republic, is renowned for its premium affordable longfiller cigars. Beyond cigar production, La Romana is also known for its sugar industry, and many tourists appreciate the city for its cruise terminal on the Rio Dulce.
A nearby excursion takes you to the picturesque artists' village of Altos de Chavon, made famous by celebrity weddings such as that of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. Whether the King of Pop enjoyed one of the exceptional cigars during his visit remains speculative—but given his health precautions, it seems rather unlikely.
Pepe Garcia and His Cigars
Now, let's delve into the history of Casa de Garcia. These cigars are crafted in the renowned Tabacalera de Garcia Cigar Factory, once owned by Pepe Garcia. Pepe, a Cuban exile, belonged to the Menendez family, the former owners of the well-known label H. Upmann. Following the Cuban Revolution, he emigrated and continued his passion for cigar-making in new locations.
Why Casa de Garcia Is So Successful
Pepe Garcia’s expertise in the art of cigar-making is evident in the quality of Casa de Garcia. The longfillers impress with their precise craftsmanship and well-balanced tobacco blends. Today owned by the Imperial Tobacco group, the brand has a keen sense of market demand. By forgoing expensive packaging and offering cigars affordably in bundles, Casa de Garcia focuses on premium tobaccos rather than outward appearances.
Popular and Affordable: Casa de Garcia Cigars
Casa de Garcia offers two series: the mild Connecticut Cigars and the more robust Maduro Cigars. Both options are highly popular among budget-conscious aficionados who refuse to compromise on quality.
