In recent years, resurrecting classic Cuban cigar brands has seemed to be somewhat of a trend, and with Cabanas Robusto, we have what could be one of the best yet. The cigar world went crazy when Jose “Don” Pepin Garcia and his team at My Father Cigars re-created the famed Fonseca brand. Well, fast forward a couple years and here they are again, this time putting their name on one of the oldest and most celebrated Cuban heritage brands. Cabanas is a project between Jose and his son, Jaime. As Don Pepin described in a press release, “Jaime and I wanted to pay tribute to the oldest Cuban brand, Cabanas, by interpreting our vision of the traditional Cuban flavors and aromas, using interesting tobaccos grown in Nicaragua from selected original Cuban seeds.” And that they did, incorporating a delicious blend of Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, double binders from Esteli and Jalapa, and a gorgeous Habano Rosado wrapper. Each cigar is rolled in the world-famous My Father factory in Nicaragua and every extensively-aged leaf is grown on Garcia’s own farms. If there is anyone on the planet that can make a “Cuban cigar” outside of Cuba, it’s Don Pepin Garcia.


Cabanas is beautiful to behold, rolled in Cuban fashion and sporting a triple cap. The reddish brown wrapper leaf oozes with natural oils and sits beautifully beneath the classic gold rimmed Cuban style band. Each vitola is rolled with precise expertise and offers a productive draw along with a crisp burn line and plenty of smoke production. Being a Garcia cigar, Cabanas indeed begins with a blast of white pepper, but it is nowhere near as pronounced or powerful as some of the other creations he’s known for. This spicy opening settles quickly into a relaxed, mellow bouquet of nutty, earthy flavors mixed with coffee, cinnamon, and a touch of molasses on the finish. Stout, but never overpowering, Cabanas ends up about one notch below full-bodied, displaying wonderful balance and velvety smooth performance. The 5” x 50 Robusto size is a great way to get familiar with the blend, offering a luxurious, yet abbreviated smoking experience.


While most upper-tier sticks coming out of the My Father factory are aimed at more experienced connoisseurs, Cabanas is a blend that will fit the bill for a much wider variety of smokers. Medium-full-bodied and complex, it is tame enough for an intermediate palate, but highly satisfying for someone that’s been around the block a few times. Cabanas pairs well with dark rum, bourbon, or dark beer and makes a great way to settle down after a good meal. As for similar cigars, El Centurion and Don Pepin Black come to mind, so if you have come to enjoy either, Cabanas just might be right up your alley. Whether you happen to enjoy the taste of classic Cuban cigars or you just want something amazing from Don Pepin and company, Cabanas Robusto is definitely a cigar that deserves a spot in your humidor.
