Serafin de Cuba Cigars Unveils ‘El Capitan’ in Honour of Cuban Patriot Jose Gallinat

Serafin de Cuba Cigars has announced its latest release, the “El Capitan” line, set to debut at the 2025 PCA Trade Show in New Orleans. This exclusive cigar pays tribute to longtime Serafin de Cuba employee and cherished friend, Jose “El Capitan” Gallinat.

A true Cuban patriot, Gallinat served in both the Cuban and U.S. Armies and fought heroically in the Bay of Pigs invasion as part of Brigade 2506. To honour his legacy and contributions, Serafin de Cuba Cigars has crafted El Capitan as a symbol of gratitude and respect for a man who played a pivotal role in the company’s journey.

A Limited Edition Tribute

El Capitan is a limited edition release, with only 1,000 ten-count boxes produced. Designed to capture the bold spirit of its namesake, the cigar is available in a single, fittingly named vitola—the “Cuban Missile”—measuring 7 x 54. The blend consists of meticulously selected Nicaraguan tobaccos, wrapped in a rich Mexican Negro San Andrés wrapper. This combination results in a full-bodied smoking experience that is both complex and deeply satisfying.

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Availability

With a retail price of $15 per cigar, El Capitan promises aficionados a refined and memorable smoking experience. Its robust profile is ideal for seasoned smokers who appreciate bold flavours and deep, layered complexity. Given its limited production, demand is expected to be high, making it a must-have addition to any collector’s humidor.

Serafin de Cuba Cigars continues to uphold its commitment to quality and tradition with El Capitan. This heartfelt tribute not only honours a heroic figure but also delivers an outstanding smoking experience worthy of his name. Be sure to look out for its official debut at the PCA Trade Show in 2025.
