My Father Cigars (Level 9) Badge

While many of the most respected names in the world of premium cigars are dated by the century, the García family and their My Father Cigars company prove that there's always room in the proverbial Hall of Fame for a modern classic. The company is centered around the García family—specifically, José "Don Pepín" García—who emigrated from Cuba, eventually making his way to Miami in 2001. Once considered one of Cuba's best torcedores, García was quick to gain fame for his own lines, with the family expanding to a larger Nicaraguan operation (accompanied by the My Father Cigars name change) in 2009. The family now grows their own tobacco in Nicaragua, which makes up the majority of their growing portfolio, as well as numerous third-party clients. It's certainly not a stretch to consider My Father among the world's most dominant cigar brands, and the cigar enthusiast's journey with My Father starts now!
