You probably won't find a more highly-acclaimed cigar factory in the world at the moment. My Father cigar's origins go back to Don 'PepÌ_n" Garcia and his Cuban cigar heritage. He originally set up shop in Miami at his El Rey de Los Habanos factory, but expansion and the introduction of his son Jaime to the business required they move to a beautiful new facility in EstelÌ_, Nicaragua.
The eponymous My Father cigar is the flagship cigar of Garcia's operation, blended by Jamie in honor of his father. One of the most revered cigars being produced today, the powerhouse My Father is blended to have a balanced and rich flavor with just right amount of power (which for the Garcia's is more than for other cigar families).
Made with Cuban seed wrapper grown in Ecuador by the Oliva Tobacco Co., which historically produces the best wrapper in the business, the My Father is blended with rich Nicaraguan binder & filler tobaccos. Expect the cigar to start with the signature heavy spice upfront before balancing out with earth, leather and an interesting Nicaraguan sweetness, a cigar worthy to honor one of the greatest in the business today.
The Number 5 “Toro” is the latest vitola in the natural sun-grown Habano-Rosado wrapped My Father line. Weighing in at a healthy 6 x 56, this cigar is more of a Gordo size, closely approaching the currently very popular 6 x 60. The My Father line is handmade from tobaccos grown in the Garcia Family’s farm, My Father Cigars, SA, in Esteli Nicaragua. A wonderfully complex blend of choice tobaccos gives way to an extremely flavorful, rich medium to full bodied smoke. Originally the My Father line was created by Don Pepin Garcia’s son, Jaime, to honor his father. Since it’s launch all sizes have received high acclaim and ratings from the cigar community.
