Flor de Las Antillas - A Smooth Nicaraguan Cigar with Cuban Heritage

Based in Roseville, Michigan, Mazin Samona is the founder and CEO of Wild Bill's Tobacco, formerly Smokers Outlet, which maintains a retail footprint spanning 100 locations. Mazin Samona’s business offers more than 150 styles of premium cigars. One of the featured cigar brands is Flor de Las Antillas Belicoso.

This 100 percent Nicaraguan product has received an exceptional 95 rating from Cigar Aficionado! and is the creation of world-renowned blender Pepin Garcia, in collaboration with his son Jaime. The Garcia family has roots in Cuba and this distinctive cigar reflects that heritage in its flavors and the painstaking steps involved in production and presentation. The name itself has the meaning “Flower of the Antilles,” which refers to Cuba, which is the largest among the Greater Antilles island chain in the Caribbean.

According to Jaime Garcia, the distinctive Flor de las Antillas is characterized by a smooth and balanced combination of binder and long-filler leaf. The full-bodied flavor offers complex notes of cocoa, earth, pepper, and sweet cider. The popular imported cigars are available in four sizes, including the Belicoso, which is distinguished by a 5 1/2-inch length and 52 ring gauge.
