Y Father, it all began from 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 recognized companies in the cigar industry. His companies have become synonymous with highly rated and well-distinguished brands.

The Garcia family continues to follow the tradition they lived and learned in Cuba and proudly own two factories, the headquarters in Doral, which is a boutique factory with a team of twelve expert rollers trained by Don Pepin himself. The other is the Garcia Family Industrial Park in Estéli, Nicaragua with more than three hundred cigar rollers. Both factories are responsible for the twelve company owned brands that exist in the marketplace today.

THE JUDGE

Originally released at the end of 2016, the My Father The Judge Grand Robusto was named Cigar Journal No. 1 Cigar of the Year 2017.

The Judge features three different Nicaraguan fillers, all grown on Garcia family farms as well as Corojo and Criollo binders and finished with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper.

This cigar full bodied starts off slightly salty, with interesting woody and almond tones. It is unbelievably smooth, nutty, delicately acidic, and develops subtle notes of anise, coffee and bread in the very creamy smoke texture.
