From CI's website:

"5 Vegas Miami is a gem of a cigar. Carefully crafted by the talented hands of Jose ’Don Pepin’ Garcia, maker of the industry’s most sought after cigars, this rare blend takes the 5 Vegas brand – already a fan favorite – to a whole new level of cigar superiority..."

I don't know who makes the cigars, but they're definitely still advertised using Pepin's name.

Those are really great for the price. Construction lacks in a lot of them, but the flavor is awesome! One of my go-to yard gars now.
