G.R. Tabacaleras Co. in Miami, Florida opened its doors
in January of 2012. This cigar
factory is operated by George A. Rico, a fourth generation cigar maker who
began working with his father Guillermo Rico of Gran Habano Cigars, to create
some of the top cigars in the industry. In 2008 he created his own project,
G.A.R. Cigars, and has continued to create cigars for consumers seeking blends
and packaging considered groundbreaking by industry standards. G.R. Tabacaleras Co. is a retail store and
smoking lounge with one of the last on-site cigar factories located in Miami's
Little Havana district on Calle Ocho. Its humidor carries an extensive
inventory of Gran Habano Cigars and premium lines created by George A. Rico. About three years ago, George envisioned
developing a project where he could help customers create their own cigar
blends without having to go through the very costly process of formally coming
out with a line. This concept became a
service now being offered at his factory in Miami, known as G.A.R. Deli. G.A.R.
Deli was one of the primary reasons the Miami factory was opened, the factory
was supposed to be a place where George could experiment and create unique and
limited lines. A customer interested in
creating their own cigar-to-taste can select their own wrapper, binder, and three
types of fillers from a sample menu of tobaccos available at the factory. For customers not able to make in Miami in
person, a G.A.R. Deli custom order can be made by contacting the factory
directly at info@garcigars.com and customizing
your blend will be available soon on the website.
The website for G.R. Tabacaleras Co. is currently under
construction but will feature Rico’s Miami retail and manufacturing operation, showcasing
his S.T.K. Miami lines and merchandise.
The Coming Soon page is currently up and can direct you to social
networking sites for more information about the factory at www.grtabacalerasunidas.com. The Facebook page for the factory is https://www.facebook.com/grtabacalerascomiami
