My Father Blue, the García’s First Honduran Cigar, Heads to Stores

My Father has begun shipping the first new line made at the company’s new factory in Honduras.

It’s called My Father Blue, a color the company says was chosen as a nod to Honduras’ flag. Blend-wise, it uses a Connecticut broadleaf rosado wrapper over a Honduran binder and Honduran fillers; the Honduran tobaccos were grown at Finca La Opulencia, which is the García family’s first farm in Honduras. The company describes the blend as “medium to full-bodied.

It’s offered in four box-pressed regular production vitolas:

•     My Father Blue Petit Robusto (4 1/2 x 50) — $9 (Box of 20, $180)
•     My Father Blue Robusto (5 1/4 x 54) — $10.50 (Box of 20, $210)
•     My Father Blue Toro (6 x 54) — $12 (Box of 20, $240)
•     My Father Blue Toro Gordo (6 x 60) — $13 (Box of 20, $260)

The García family, which is best known for making cigars at its factories in Estelí, Nicaragua, opened the My Father Honduras factory last year. The family has been growing and harvesting tobacco in Honduras for multiple years ahead of the opening of the rolling operation.

In addition to the factories in Central America, My Father also operates a small rolling operation in Doral, Fla., making it one of just a few companies producing handmade cigars in three countries.

Honduran My Father Blue Now Shipping

New cigars from the Garcia family are made in Honduras with their own Honduran tobacco

The Garcia family made quite the splash in March when they announced a new My Father brand made in Honduras. Called My Father Blue, the cigars were previewed at the PCA trade show in New Orleans last April. Now, they are heading to retailers across the country. 

My Father Blue is not only the first My Father made with Honduran tobacco, but signifies the Garcias’ committed expansion into Honduras, as they are growing their own leaf and making the cigars in their own 78,000 square-foot factory (located in El Paraiso). It all started three years ago when the Garcias quietly purchased 360 manzanas (about 890 acres) in Talanga, a region of central Honduras about two hours away from the cigarmaking capital of Danlí. The intention was to start cultivating Honduran tobacco and to diversify My Father’s portfolio of cigars, which to that point had been almost entirely Nicaraguan.

Besides the Connecticut rosado broadleaf wrapper, all the tobacco (Corojo and Criollo varietals) comes from the Garcias’ Honduran farm. The cigars are packaged in 20-count boxes and offered in four sizes: Petit Robusto, measuring 4 1/2 by 50 ring gauge ($9); Robusto, at 5 1/4 by 52 ($10.50); Toro, 6 by 54 ($12); and a 6-by-60 Toro Gordo ($13).

My Father Cigars, which is headquartered in Miami, now rolls cigars in three countries: Nicaragua, Honduras and the United States.

Interesting. May keep an eye out for these and give them a shot - would be good to have an MF that isn’t a total spice bomb.

Try the Don Pepin Garcia E.R.H. Smooth, mild Nicaraguan with no spice/pepper.

I ordered a 5'er of the Robusto size. They look great. Will fire one up over the weekend. These were $10 per stick! Pricing proves there is still some sanity in the cigar world. 😉

I picked up a Toro the other day. Probably gonna wait a couple weeks before smoking.

I'll know tomorrow if they are box worthy. At $190/box, they will hardly break the budget. RASS was my favorite cigar, but at 500-600/box I'm priced out.

Interesting. I ordered one.

@Capn_Jackson and I have this on deck. As soon as we figure out when we can meet, I'll throw these in dry box.
