My Father Tabacos Baez Robusto

The My Father brand began with José “Pepin” Garcia. Once a renowned cigar roller in Havana, Garcia immigrated to the United States in 2003 and set up shop in a tiny bubble in Miami’s famed Little Havana. Garcia’s son, Jaime, a talented blender in his own right, secretly went to work in Nicaragua on a new cigar blend, intending to name the brand “My Father,” in homage to Pepin. The brand debuted in 2008 and has been expanding ever since. Today, Pepin, Jaime, and daughter Janny Garcia lead My Father Cigars, and their factory in Estelí produces millions of cigars a year. A year after the debut of the My Father brand, Pepin decided to honor his father with a brand called My Father Le Bijou 1922, which won the Cigar Aficionado's Cigar of the Year award in 2015.
