Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ 20th Anniversary L.E. 2025

Created to mark two decades of the original Series JJ, the Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ 20th Anniversary L.E. 2025 is a limited release built around tobaccos with real significance to the Garcia family. The box includes 17 cigars in total: sixteen 6 1/2 x 52 Toro Extras and one 7 1/4 x 57 Salomon placed at the center, all made entirely with Nicaraguan tobacco grown on Garcia family farms. A rare Pelo de Oro component in the filler gives this anniversary blend added distinction, while the wrappers come from shade-grown 1999 Corojo Rosado harvested at Las Lometas in Esteli.

The presentation is unusual even by limited-edition standards. The Toro Extras wear the 1999 Corojo Rosado wrapper, while the centerpiece Salomon uses a darker 1999 Corojo Rosado Oscuro leaf, giving the box a deliberate contrast in both appearance and smoking character. Production was limited to 2,500 boxes, underscoring the commemorative nature of the release and its place within the Don Pepin Garcia portfolio.

Expect a fuller Nicaraguan profile shaped by the brand’s trademark depth and spice rather than a routine anniversary repackage. The Toro Extra format should generally offer about 75 to 105 minutes of smoking time at an unhurried pace, making it a substantial expression of a cigar created to celebrate one of the foundational lines in the Garcia family’s history.
