OLD HENRY BRAND HISTORY
Old Henry is a bestselling brand blended by award-winning cigar-maker Jose ‘Pepin’ Garcia. Old Henry is named for a prized pooch who was an old friend of ours. The franchise is patiently handcrafted at the Garcia family’s esteemed My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Old Henry debuted in 2006. The brand has established itself as a popular option for fans of Pepin Garcia who seek out the high-quality, medium to full-bodied spicy flavor available in other Pepin-made brands like My Father, Tatuaje, and Pepin’s eponymous Don Pepin Garcia label.
The Garcia family had only recently immigrated to Florida from Cuba in the early 2000s when Pepin began to establish his unbridled talent as a master cigar-maker in the U.S. market. In Cuba, Pepin was responsible for overseeing the production of legendary brands such as Montecristo, Cohiba, and Romeo y Julieta for many years. He trained roughly 200 Cuban rollers over the course of his decades there. Pepin hails from the town of Baez in Cuba’s Villa Clara province. To this day, he subscribes to the patient and highly skilled cigar-making traditions that he learned in Cuba in the manufacture of the many critically acclaimed cigars the Garcia family produces. Pepin’s son, Jaime, and daughter, Janny, collectively operate My Father Cigars as a close-knit family enterprise. In addition to winning Cigar Aficionado’s coveted ‘#1 Cigar of the Year’ title twice in recent for years for the 97-rated My Father Le Bijou 1922 and the 96-rated Flor de las Antillas, the Garcias are best-known for crafting a host of top-rated brands including La Aroma de Cuba and San Cristobal. Old Henry is truly a burgeoning gem in the Garcia family’s portfolio.
Check out a comprehensive overview of our bestselling Old Henry cigars below. Connoisseurs who prefer Pepin-made cigars and Nicaraguan profiles in general embrace the evolution of taste and value Old Henry offers.
OLD HENRY BRAND OVERVIEW
The original Old Henry blend is an all-Nicaraguan recipe drafted from a spicy, full-bodied amalgam of balanced long-filler tobaccos beneath a reddish-hued Corojo wrapper. Notes of cedar, earth, leather, and cayenne peppers harbor a chewy and nutty texture with spicy, woody aromas. The original blend succeeded masterfully in putting Old Henry on the map as an indulgent cigar seasoned connoisseurs can enjoy for a great price.
Old Henry Maduro follows a similar formula, with its full-bodied Nicaraguan character, but does so with an enhanced sweetness courtesy of a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and creamy spices that offer up plenty of leather and espresso bean flavors. The lustrous wrapper encapsulates an exquisite interior that delivers a razor-sharp burn with an uncompromising finish.
Old Henry Gold Label reveals a more approachable, medium-bodied profile of cashews, walnuts, cinnamon, and coffee with cream without relinquishing the notable presence of Pepin’s revered spices. Fans of stronger cigars can easily enjoy Old Henry Gold Label earlier in the day, while milder cigar lovers will find it perfect for after dinner or in the evening. A golden-blond, Ecuador Connecticut wrapper leaf conceals vintage Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos that are both complex and easygoing.
Enthusiasts who appreciate Cuban-seed wrappers have showered heaps of praise on Old Henry Pure Breed for its glistening Ecuador Habano leaf over a luscious core of Nicaraguan long-fillers in a supremely harmonious pairing. The wrapper’s oily sheen emits a buttery spice with plenty of black and cayenne pepper notes that show off Pepin’s trademark depth from beginning to end. Four classic shapes produce a wealth of flavorful transitions.
Although the entire Old Henry portfolio is well-known for its approachable prices, Old Henry Fumadores offers access to the remarkable talents of Pepin Garcia to any cigar lover on a budget. The premium Cuban-sandwich blend starts out at $2.99 per cigar, or less, when we run one of our recurring Old Henry deals. A gingerbread-hued Ecuador Habano wrapper hugs a marvelous center of all-Nicaraguan tobaccos that carry a consistent burn with a pleasing room note. A bouquet of dark chocolate, cedar, chestnuts and spice indulges the senses in three traditional formats.
If you’re already into Pepin Garcia and the many acclaimed cigars he’s released over the past decade and a half, we promise Old Henry is in your wheelhouse. Check out the spectacular Old Henry reviews the brand’s best friends have left if you’re deciding which blend to taste first.
