My Father Jaime Garcia Connecticut Robusto

HISTORY

It all began with a very humble beginning when Jose Pepin Garcia and his family established a very small cigar factory in Little Havana in 2003. Jose Pepin Garcia could not have imagined at that moment that his love and passion for cigars would help him build one of the most recognised companies in the cigar industry. His companies have become synonymous with highly rated and well-distinguished brands.

The Cigar Aficionado No. 1 Cigar of the Year for 2012 was given to Flor de Las Antillas Toro and repeated in 2015 with Le Bijou 1922 Torpedo Box Pressed. In 2024, My Father Cigars was awarded Cigar Aficionado No. 1 Cigar of the Year for a third time when The Judge Grand Robusto Box Pressed received the award. This makes My Father only one of four cigar makers to receive this accolade on more than one occasion since the awards commenced in 2004.

The Garcia Family continues to follow the tradition they lived and learned in Cuba and proudly owns two factories, the headquarters in Doral, which is a boutique factory with a team of twelve expert cigar rollers trained by Don Pepin himself.

The other is the Garcia Family Industrial Park in Estelí, Nicaragua, with more than three hundred cigar rollers. Both factories are responsible for the twelve company-owned brands that exist in the marketplace today.

JAIME GARCIA CONNECTICUT

Jaime Garcia R.E - Connecticut is an extension to the existing Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Broadleaf line. The cigar is blended by Jose ‘Pepin’ Garcia and his son Jaime Garcia at the My Father Cigar factory in Nicaragua.

It features a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Garcia family farms with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper grown in Ecuador.

These mild to medium cigars have notes of coffee and almond with hints of butterscotch and white pepper.
