El Rey de los Habanos


“Tabacalera Cubana S.A.” (TACUBA) was created in June 2006 in Estelí, Nicaragua, as an important part of “El Rey de los Habanos, Inc.” and the expansion of the Don Pepín tobacco family. It is a modern and well organized factory where incredible blends are being created. Cigar Aficionado magazine has called it “a factory to watch” and “one of the new boys on the block of cigar manufacturers.” TACUBA is a true factory, encompassing all manufacturing steps from preparation of raw material to finishing and packaging. At this factory increased production does not come at the expense of quality – rather, both move forward hand in hand. At present, with its 100 cigar rollers and 75 employees in other departments, projected annual production is 3.6 million cigars, which include recognized private brands.
Pepín and his son Jaime, both of whom had a central role in creating the factory, have a long history in the world of tobacco. For many years they worked as tobacco growers and cigar manufacturers in Cuba. Now they have brought their vast experience to the development of this new factory, just as they have been doing for “El Rey de los Habanos, Inc.,” enabling both factories to achieve a position of prominence in the market.
