| Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label Exquisito is the one that started it all for Jose "Don" Pepin Garcia. |
| Once a master roller in Cuba, Don Pepin has been involved in the business since age 11 and now owns |
| and operates My Father Cigars, a state-of-the-art factory in Nicaragua responsible for some of the |
| most sought-after cigars in the world. Blue Label is his personal favorite blend, using Nicaraguan |
| fillers, Nicaraguan Criollo binders, and Habano-Rosado wrappers. This blend was made to mimic the old |
| time Cubans that Don Pepin grew up with. |

| The elegant blue band hugs the reddish, veiny cigar that is masterfully constructed to have an easy |
| draw from which billowing clouds of bluish gray smoke plentifully flow. From first light the smoker |
| is greeted by the infamous "Pepin Pepper,"" a blast of intense spice across the entire palate. The |
| smoke settles into a full-bodied array of nutty and spicy flavors with heavy pepper and sweetness on the finish. |

| This 5 5/8" x 46 stick is very full-bodied and is by no means a beginner cigar. It pairs well with |
| scotch or bourbon and makes a wonderful weekend smoke for any experienced connoisseur. Comparable |
| cigars include San Cristobal and Don Pepin Black Label-both additional masterpieces blended by Don |
| Pepin himself. It doesn't get much closer to the taste of a full-bodied Cuban than Don Pepin Blue |
| Label Exquisito. |
