My Father Blue
It's been a long journey for the Garcia family of My Father Cigars. First, Jose Pepen started in Cuba before settling in Miami, then expanding and settling down in Nicaragua with a large factory and vast plantings of tobacco not to mention cigars that have earned the company three Cigar of the Year awards, including the one for 2024. Now, the Garcias have gone to Honduras where they've constructed a new factory and started growing their own tobacco, their first Honduran brand: My Father Blue.
The factory's inaugural brand, My Father Blue, is a Honduran-heavy blend. Besides the Connecticut rosado broadleaf wrapper, all the tobacco (Corojo and Criollo varietals) comes from the Garcia's Honduran farm. The blue packaging pays homage to the colors of the Honduran flag, while the secondary band marks the year of the brand's debut. It's intended to be a medium-to-full-bodied cigar.
