The story of My Father Cigars is more than just a tale of tobacco—it’s a saga of passion, heritage, and an unwavering pursuit of perfection. Born in Cuba in 1950, third-generation master blender José ‘Pepín’ García first rolled a cigar at the tender age of 11, igniting a lifelong love affair with premium cigars. Working his way through Cuba’s legendary cigar industry, Pepín quickly became one of the most respected figures, even overseeing iconic brands like Cohiba.
In 2001, after decades of honing his craft, Pepín and his family made a bold move, leaving Cuba for Florida. There, they opened a modest boutique factory, where they began creating cigars with the kind of craftsmanship that would soon capture the attention of the world. Today, My Father Cigars stands as one of the premier names in the cigar world. Revered by critics and aficionados alike, their cigars—whether it's the smooth, creamy My Father Connecticut or the bold, full-bodied Le Bijou 1922, Cigar of the Year—are renowned for their impeccable construction and unforgettable flavor.
