In the heart of Nicaragua, where the sun-drenched hills cradle the rich, fertile soil, a legacy was forged. Geoffrey Antonio Reyes, a 3rd generation master blender, stood on the precipice of his destiny at the tender age of 24. After the untimely passing of his father, Mario Reyes, had cast a long shadow over the family business, leaving Geoffrey grappling with the grief of loss and the heavy mantle of responsibility.

One fateful evening in December Geofrey was invited to a club with his cousin who was home visiting family in Grenada and he encountered two American businessmen; James Danley and Josh Lee, who were indulging in the local culture and enjoying their shared passion for cigars. Their animated discussion about flavors and nuances caught Geoffrey’s ear, pulling him into a conversation that would change the course of his life.

As they spoke, Geoffrey created samples of custom blends just for James and Josh — creations that echoed the artistry of his father’s work, infused with his own unique touch. Each draw of the cigar elicited a thoughtful pause from James and Josh, their expressions transforming with appreciation. It was evident in their eyes; they were not merely smoking cigars, they were tasting a legacy. The meeting culminated in an agreement that felt almost serendipitous. With their backing, Geoffrey was gifted the opportunity to breathe new life into his dream of opening Don Reyes Cigars.

Thus began the meticulous process of rebuilding—a journey marked by sleepless nights spent in the lush tobacco fields, hand-selecting the finest leaves, and carefully blending them into his vision. Each cigar became not just a product but a tribute to his father’s legacy, infused with the values of craftsmanship, elegance, and the ultimate passion for the art of cigar making.

Now, the newly minted Don Reyes Cigars is on the cusp of opening its doors. Geoffrey has poured every ounce of love and dedication into his craft, motivated by the desire to ensure that every cigar ignited a cherished moment of pleasure for those who indulged in them.

The Don Reyes name is a reflection not only of Geoffrey’s journey but also a heartfelt homage to Mario Reyes. With every draw, aficionados are invited to immerse themselves in a world where luxury meets unparalleled craftsmanship—the very essence that defined the Reyes lineage. Through every puff, Geoffrey continues to invite you to experience his passion, savoring moments that are as rich and nuanced as the cigar itself.
