House of Emilio has a long and successful history in promoting the “Best of the boutiques”. Through this partnership BPB is proud to share their vision of the authentic cigar experience.

BPB’s signature line – Reunión – is designed around fellowship – gathering, connectedness and friendship. It features two blends both from Nicaragua, a country that has emerged as the rising star of the cigar world. Reunión will be available in three vitolas.
