With the My Father Blue cigar, the García family writes a new chapter; one not set in Estelí or Miami, but deep in the heart of Honduras. It marks the first My Father cigar to be crafted in the Garcías’ new Honduran factory, using tobacco they now grow themselves on virgin soil in Talanga. What began as a quiet land purchase three years ago has grown into a full-scale expansion: a new factory, a new farm, and a new expression of the My Father legacy.
Wrapped in a medium-shade Connecticut Broadleaf rosado and filled with Corojo and Criollo varietals from the Garcías’ Finca La Opulencia farm, the My Father Blue cigar leans medium-to-full in body. The blend offers a departure from the family’s Nicaraguan-heavy catalog—richer in earth, softer in spice, and more reminiscent (as Pepín himself noted) of the Cuban cigars from “the good times.” The blue band and secondary label mark in Roman numerals (MMXXV) nod to the Honduran flag (blue) and the birth year of this new frontier.
What does the My Father Blue cigar taste like?
Expect deep notes of sun-baked earth, pretzel dough, roasted nuts, cocoa, and subtle citrus peel. The Honduran-grown core brings a textured complexity that feels both familiar and new, while the rosado wrapper adds sweetness and structure. It’s a cigar that honors the past without being bound to it—a true blue beginning for a family that’s never stopped building.
