Press Release: Flashback Friday Brings You: El Centurion

March 1, 2013 (Doral, Fla) — My Father Cigars brings back the cigar that left everyone wanting more.

Back in 2007, the company released the Centurion in 3 sizes as Don Pepín’s first ever limited edition. At the time, only 850 boxes of each size were made. Many of our supporters have asked for us to bring back the cigar that left them wanting more. In honor of the Don Pepín Garcia 10th Anniversary, we bring back the Centurion and it is here to stay!

The Centurion is coming back in 4 sizes: Robusto, Belicoso, Toro and Toro Grande. It consists of all Nicaraguan Tobacco with the filler composed of Criollo, Corojo Habano, and Sancti Spiritus; together they give this classic a 3/4 to full body strength. The wrapper is a sun grown Criollo 98. The boxes will have the regal appearance as in 2007 with some minor enhancements and it will come in boxes of 20 as a regular production.

Expect these in stores for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Don Pepín Garcia. Shipping will begin in May 2013!

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
