Although the Garcia family has been crafting some of the world’s best cigars for some time, including their breakout success with Pete Johnson’s Tatuaje brand, it wasn’t until 2009 that their own My Father brand started gaining serious acclaim—following a head-turning ranking as Cigar Aficionado’s #3 Cigar of the Year for 2009.
My Father Cigars has since gone on to win multiple other accolades, including the prestigious #1 Cigar of the Year designation (2012 & 2015). The brand has expanded well beyond the original, eponymously titled “My Father” blend, including two sister blends—My Father Le Bijou 1922 and My Father Connecticut.
Now, the Garcia family has introduced the latest expansion to the legendary My Father lineup—My Father The Judge. Donning a recreation of an antique, Victorian lithograph circa 1905, The Judge takes on the posh look of sophistication. It was reportedly inspired from a friend of the Garcias, whom happens to share the judiciary occupation. For this new take on the brand’s flagship cigar, the Garcias have opted to showcase a fuller-bodied experience. A double binder of Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo tobaccos envelops a special selection of Nicaraguan tobaccos, harvested from three of the Garcia’s own farms (La Bonita Two, El Pedrero and San Rafael). This is where the blend derives its strength, which has been cleverly disguised by a sweet, dark brown, Sumatra Oscuro wrapper. Box-pressed and rolled in two commanding sizes (6x56 Toro and 5x60 Grand Robusto), The Judge is an intense smoking experience, chock-full with palate-smacking flavors for the enthusiast.
Country of Orgin : Nicaragua
Wrapper : Natural
*Please note that all SKUs have two product lines. The top line is the box/bundle count. The second line is less than a box/bundle count and will be shipped as loose cigars in a humidified bag.

Off the top of my head, the only cigar I'll still purposefully buy by the box in a gauge above 54. Something about this cigar means everything a cigar should be when I want a great overall experience. The construction is always top notch and in the larger gauges it has no problem staying lit when I'm not paying attention. It's one I hold dear and I'll always go back to. The only one to top it is the TAA 2020 edition

Martin Kollman - My Father The Judge Corona Gorda
I love the full rich flavors that this cigar produces with the double binder of Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo. It just has that creamy full flavor with nut and leather that sets me off on those early morning smokes and a dark cup of coffee or the late night with a good bourbon or rum. This is a luxury smoke for me and something that I don't want all the time but definitely need a 5 pack or two for when you have time to enjoy them.
