The craft
Tobacco, hands, and more than ten years of learning.
The tobacco
Carefully selected long-filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, and occasionally other renowned growing regions, grown, aged and fermented under the eye of master blender Rolando Antonio Villamil.
The torcedores
Every EPIC cigar is handcrafted by some of the finest torcedores in the industry, true artisans with decades of experience, rolled one at a time and checked by hand before it is banded.
The blend
Founder Dean Parsons spent more than ten years at the blender’s side learning cultivation, aging, fermentation and the intricate art of blending before the first EPIC band went on a cigar.
Featured series
A Bronx Tale
Made with Chazz Palminteri, the A Bronx Tale series carries the neighborhood onto the band: Sonny, Calogero, and the Original limited edition that opened the story.
Our story
In 2005, Dean Parsons was living and working in Turks & Caicos when he began making regular trips to the Dominican Republic. Five years later, EPIC Cigars had a name, a trademark and a master blender.
