Flor de las Antillas Products

Flor de las Antillas is currently represented by two distinct blends, the original line and its darker variation, Flor de las Antillas Maduro. The original Flor de las Antillas offers a medium-to-full-bodied personality that harmoniously melds its tobaccos’ sweet, spicy, creamy, and robust qualities. Accolades include numerous 90-plus ratings and “Cigar of the Year” awards.

The Flor de las Antillas Maduro provides a slightly different take on the original’s blend, topping it with a Habano Sun Grown Oscuro wrapper from Ecuador. The smoke continues the brand’s string of high ratings with a rich, chocolaty, and smooth character.

History of Flor de las Antillas Cigars

Flor de las Antillas cigars debuted in 2012 to instant acclaim. The name “Flower of the Antilles” is a nod to Cuba, the birthplace of brand founder and family patriarch Jose “Pepin” Garcia. The name combines with original box and band artwork to create a nostalgic character that proves an ideal complement to the cigar blend’s mixture of old-world smoothness and lively modern taste.

Don Pepin Garcia learned his trade in Cuba, becoming a master roller and working on projects for some of Cuba’s most famous cigar brands, including Cohiba and Montecristo. He left Cuba in 2001, eventually finding his way to Miami. There he founded a small boutique cigar factory which grew into the major cigar concern he and his family oversee today. The Garcia family’s Nicaraguan farms provide the Cuban-seed tobaccos for the Flor de las Antillas cigars.
