My Father cigars are made by the Garcia family of Cuban cigarmaker José “Pepín” Garcia at their My Father Cigars factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, with My Father Blue rolled at the family’s newer factory in Honduras. Strength in our selection runs from medium (Tabacos Baez Serie S.F.) to medium-to-full, with most blends at the fuller end. Typical notes include cocoa, cedar, leather, earth and pepper, with natural sweetness such as molasses or brown sugar in some blends. A good first pick is My Father Blue Honduras, a box-pressed cigar in a Connecticut Broadleaf Rosado wrapper with cocoa, white pepper, leather and cedar at medium-to-full. For a box-pressed Nicaraguan, try Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial, a bold blend with cedar, dark chocolate, oak and brown sugar. Profiles vary by blend and size.
My Father Cigars
My Father Cigars is a family-owned premium cigar brand created by Jaime García in 2008 as a tribute to his father, Cuban master torcedor José “Pepín” García, who honed his craft over decades in Cuba before emigrating to the United States and eventually establishing the My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, where the García family oversees every step of production from seed to box using proprietary tobaccos grown on their own farms in Estelí, Jalapa, and Condega. The brand’s portfolio includes the original My Father in an Ecuadorian wrapper, Le Bijou 1922 featuring a Nicaraguan Oscuro wrapper, Flor de las Antillas with a Nicaraguan sun-grown wrapper, La Opulencia in a dark Mexican San Andrés Rosado Oscuro wrapper, La Gran Oferta, the original Don Pepín García Blue label, and The Judge in a dark, Sumatra-seed Ecuadorian wrapper over Corojo and Criollo binders with Nicaraguan long fillers. Flavor profiles across the lineup deliver rich notes of dark chocolate, cedar, leather, earth, roasted nuts, and signature peppery spice—a depth and complexity that has earned My Father three Cigar Aficionado Cigar of the Year titles, including the 96-rated Flor de las Antillas in 2012, the 97-rated Le Bijou 1922 in 2015, and the 98-rated The Judge Grand Robusto in 2024.

Frequently asked questions about My Father Cigars
Who makes My Father Cigars, and where?
My Father Cigars is run by the Garcia family of Cuban cigarmaker José "Pepín" Garcia. Most of its cigars are made at the family's factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, using tobacco from their own Nicaraguan farms. My Father Blue comes from the family's newer factory in Honduras.
Are My Father Cigars full bodied?
Not all of them. The blends we carry run from medium, such as Tabacos Baez Serie S.F., to medium-to-full, such as My Father Blue Honduras and My Father El Centurion. Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial is described as bold. Pick by the individual blend rather than treating the whole brand as one strength.
Which My Father cigar should I try first, and how do the lines differ?
My Father Blue Honduras is a good place to start: a box-pressed Honduran-filler cigar in a Connecticut Broadleaf Rosado wrapper, with typical notes of cocoa, white pepper, leather and cedar and some molasses sweetness. My Father El Centurion uses a sun-grown Criollo wrapper and typically shows earth, cedar, natural sweetness and pepper. Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial is a bold box-pressed Nicaraguan with cedar, dark chocolate, oak and brown sugar. Tabacos Baez Serie S.F. is the medium-bodied choice.
