One of the Dominican Republic's elder statesmen of cigar manufacturers, Jose Girbes is something of an elitist. Never one to push production, Girbes has maintained a low profile, low production atelier that is below the radar screen when calling attention to big production numbers. He knows big numbers often do not translate into high quality, and he prefers to expend all his efforts on keeping his beloved namesake cigar the best. He blends the Jose Girbes Robusto Maduro (5" x 50) with exquisite naturally double fermented San Vicente Valley long fillers and a Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro wrapper leaves to create this medium body masterpiece.
