Unique Gifts for that Special Someone

A Little Something for Everyone

La Garita Cigar Company

Since 1995, the first orders for La Garita cigars, also known as Falto Cigars, arrived on the shores of Puerto Rico. Luis learned all about the growing of tobacco, the different leaves and strains, processing and the manufacturing of cigars. He handpicked, La Aurora, in the Dominican Republic, to manufacture his cigars. He personally knows all his cigar rollers by their first names and chooses all of the blends, himself. He currently has 7 different cigars. La Garita is truly a boutique as annual production is less than 6,500 cigars.

As Luis says, “I have so many memories, stories and moments that I have experienced while smoking cigars, since nothing accompanies a cigar better than a good conversation with friends while having an excellent cup of coffee”.

We met Luis Falto, the founder and owner of La Garita Cigar Company, in New York last year. Luis was visiting from his home in Puerto Rico and had recently been selling his cigars at Davidoff in the Time Warner Center. (They are also available in the Madison Avenue location and in seven other shops around the United States.)

We immediately fell in love with Luis’ cigars. It is truly an Ultra Boutique Premium Handmade Cigar brand that is produced in extremely small quantities; something unheard of in the industry. If you are looking to buy a gift for your significant other, why not buy them something that no one else on the block has? We immediately went to Davidoff and bought all of Luis’ cigars. They have since restocked.

WHERE TO BUY: Davidoff of Geneva, 10 Columbus Circle, NY, NY 212.823.6383 (also Madison Avenue 212.751.9060 or via the internet at www.gccigars.com)
