October 23, 2012 — In commemoration of the 10th year anniversary of Don Pepin Garcia and Tatuaje, both companies have come together to celebrate this special date in Miami, Florida on May 4th, 2013.

The month of May marks the precise month in which Don Pepin opened up his small factory in Little Havana and began rolling for his first customer, Pete Johnson of Tatuaje. Fast forward to present day, they have grown side by side and have become two of the most respected and well-known companies of the cigar industry.
