Buy here cigars from My Father
The story of the Don Pepin My Father Cigars brand is told by the Garcia family as follows. Jaime was in Nicaragua without the knowledge of his father Don Pepin to surprise him with a birthday cigar or a birthday blend. When Don Pepin found out about this, he asked his son to hand him three cigars, which he tasted that evening. The result was that Don Pepin cigars were so popular that they became a fixture in the production program and at the same time the Tabacalera was named after it!

If you want to enjoy the power and intensity of a classically mixed Tatuaje in a manageable time window of approx. 35 - 45 minutes, this inconspicuous little bundle of power is excellent. One of the best small formats for friends of strong tobacco.
Flavour
With its spicy, hearty Broadleaf wrapper and the Ligero-heavy filler from Nicaragua, a typical Pete Johnson blend, the SdC blend comes across particularly expressively in the short 40 format. The distinctive aroma of strongly roasted espresso beans meets wonderfully bittersweet cocoa notes and a permanent earthy-malty undertone with a hint of lightly sweetened liquorice. Its finesse, however, comes from the delightful, multi-faceted interplay of tinglingly spicy aromas, from nutmeg and cinnamon to pepper, clove and allspice. Expressive and strong - a great recommendation for the cold season!

If our tired eyes do not deceive us, this is not a Toro in life, but a straight Robusto Doble. That's all we have to complain about - on the contrary: the "oval boxpressed" stogie with a burning time of approx. 70 - 85 minutes is an absolute gem!
Flavour
A bit more creamy in the smoke than the Robusto, a bit more concise fermentation sweetness, but a bit less spice and "zing" - does this adequately describe the differences between the 2 formats? By no means, convince yourself! Nutmeg and clove, liquorice and mild pepper, a hint of ethereal garden herbs - the multi-layered "vegetal" character is perfectly compatible with the quite solid, nutty-"meaty" umami notes! In addition, the sweetness of forest honey hits the palate again and again - a cigar full of variety, racy, yet perfectly balanced and exciting!

The name of the series (Engl. "the promise") alludes to the Garcias' commitment to honouring the quality standards and traditional legacy of their old homeland, even without access to Cuban leaf. This succeeds perfectly here for about 65 - 80 minutes.
Flavours
The lush 54 is a real blast to drink. The Ecuadorian Oscuro wrapper with a light russet sheen ("rosado") doesn't promise too much - the wonderfully sloppy smoke offers a delightful spectrum of herb-sweet, full-bodied flavours right from the start. Dark chocolate, fat roasted nuts and an earthy-malty tone combine perfectly with the distinct yet subtle sweetness that remains present throughout the course of the smoke - even if spicier tones, such as nutmeg or noble woods, come to the fore in the last third. The certain spiciness that some say MFC has is absent from the medium-strong smoke.

The premium cigars from MF are something special and therefore at home in the upper mid-price segment. All the better that this short filler line suitable for everyday use is now available! The Robusto offers around 40 - 50 minutes of pleasure.
Flavours
Slightly softer in taste and creamier in appearance, the Robusto has a similar taste profile to the Corona. The roasted character is more in the foreground here, with notes of bread crust, coffee and toast; but the pleasantly multi-layered touch of spices also carries the smoke from start to finish. Uncomplicated in both burn and aroma, the cigar nevertheless has a remarkable complexity up its sleeve - towards the end it becomes malty, with light cocoa tones, and the strength increases a little. A delicious piece at a really reasonable price!

You can put less stock in Pete Johnson's format names than you can in his always great blends - this, for instance, is a thick Belicoso, not a 6" Toro. Notwithstanding our German Korinthenkackerei, it guarantees 65 - 80 minutes of fun at a fair rate.
Flavours
This new series basically lives from its wonderfully concise coffee-roast aroma that runs through from A to Z. Nevertheless, it has a lot more going for it - more complex spicy notes than the Gordo, for example, while the sweetness here, reminiscent of nougat, is a bit more subtle; a hint of herbal etherealness that sometimes flits across the palate; but above all, a beautiful transition to increasingly intense peat, smoke and bread crust flavours. Superbly balanced, with (towards the end increased) power in just the right measure. Fortunately, nothing tastes like meadow ("prado") here!

The young Garcia genaration certainly makes Papa José happy - daughter Janny is involved with Tatuaje-head Pete Johnson and active in business there, son Jaime launched his first blend - and it turned out splendidly! See for yourself for 55 - 65 minutes.
Flavours
A typical Garcia blend, but definitely with its own twist - and a quality that, especially in this price sector, really inspires! The (relatively lush) Robusto shines with an exciting potpourri of dark, tart-sweet flavours, from men's chocolate to oak and mocha (more espresso later) to liquorice, brown bread and roasted hazelnuts. All this is constantly underpinned by a pleasant sweetness that changes its character from time to time during the course of the smoke - dark berries and sultanas are just as much at the start as molasses. Great balance between full spice and smoothness! Medium - strong.

The very classic series from the hand of the Cuban exile and today's grandee of Nicaraguan cigar making José „Don Pepín“ Garcia is clearly cheaper than his brand „My Father“, but also äußonly successful! Smoking time here approx. 50 – 60 minutes.
Flavours
For a cigar in this price segment, Garcia's Standard Robusto is incredibly coherent and dense in aroma. Like many Nicaraguanas, it is initially very spicy and direct, but settles down immediately and then unfolds a bouquet of dark woods, freshly roasted coffee, brown bread, earth and liquorice, interspersed again and again with subtle sweet (dried) fruit notes. The light smoke increasingly offers a latent cocoa note and gains a pleasantly leathery impression reminiscent of Pep's Cuban roots. The medium-bodied cigar tastes stronger than it actually is – always a mark of quality!

The series, conceived as a tribute to his roots (admittedly: not the most original idea among the numerous Cuban exiles in the cigar business!), is among José Garcia's latest strokes of genius. The Toro in the shimmering Oscuro wrapper burns for about 70 – 85 minutes.
Flavours
A classically sized boxpressed Toro with a filler of Nicaraguan Criollo and Corojo – boah, how original… but wait, the blend is from Don Pepín and tastes just ünot at all interchangeable and gleichfö It tastes incredibly harmonious and charming, with lots of melting chocolate aroma, nutty notes, spices like nutmeg and even cardamom, the obligatory hint of crisp coffee aroma, and increasingly peat and toast as it progresses. Above all, the brand-typical tops of solid woods and a pleasant sweetness hover. Medium strength and extremely good performance.

It is one of the many family legends of the Garcia cigar dynasty that son Jaime is said to have created his dad José this blend for his birthday one day, and thus found such approval that the cigar came into regular production. So it delights for about 55 - 70 minutes also us!
Aroma
My Fathers Signature series is among the brand's finest blends, and this format is rightfully a particular critics' favorite. Not an MF-typical expressive spice bomb, but rather a playful, highly complex medium-strength cigar whose fantastically balanced melange of tropical woods, distinctive leather notes, wonderful honey sweetness with a latent fruity impression, as well as fragrant-floral overtones fades into a "darker" flavor as the smoke progresses. Roasted tones of strong coffee, cocoa and soft earthy facets then make the music, while the sweetness gains the character of caramel.

Finally reliably available in Germany is this - as the name suggests - deliberately traditionally blended line from Pepín Garcia's flagship brand. Around an hour of the highest smoking pleasure for a super-fair tenner is guaranteed here - highly recommended!
Flavour
Did you know that Mr. Garcia was once in charge of Partagás in Cuba? Smoking this cigar, you can at least guess! Heavy resins, incense scent, a wide range of oriental-exotic spicy notes with sweet as well as spicy facets - the expressive, aromatically immediately present cigar seems stronger than it ultimately is in terms of nicotine. Fine woody notes enrich the potpourri as well as striking nuances of coffee beans; the fermentation sweetness hovers somewhere between molasses and almost floral hints. The smoky texture sets a counterpoint of vanilla softness.

The feisty 55 calibre is more like a double Robusto with a stately 70 - 85 minutes of smoking time. The colourful anilla, resplendent with baroque gold, reminds some people of grandma's box of chocolates - and the blend really does taste accordingly tempting!
Flavours
Garcia's sense of tradition is also hinted at in this series name (in the year) - and indeed the Blend is more "conservative" than that of its sister series "La Promesa". A little less blissful sweetness (but enough!) and less chocolate, but more distinctive coffee scent, more earth, more cedar, also a little leather and noticeably more nicotine determine the character of the wonderfully rolled cigar. It proves to be a real grab bag, which spoils again and again with traces of fruit sweetness and floral scents. Certainly one of the best blends from Pepín!

Wissenswertes
Die von Zigarren-Guru José „Don Pepín“ Garcias Stammhalter Jaime gemischte Serie fliegt hierzulande ein bisschen unter dem Radar – dabei zählen die großartigen Zigarren zu den besten ihres Preissegments! Die kurze 50er brennt ca. 40 – 55 Minuten.
Aromen
Die Short Robusto ist das ideale Format, um bei großem Rauchvolumen die kräftige, intensive Seite eines Blends kennenzulernen. Das ist bei dieser würzigen, aber auch süßen Laubrolle nicht anders als z.B. bei Davidoff oder in Kuba. Markante dunkle Holzaromen, der mundwässernde Röstgeschmack frischer Schwarzbrotkruste, deutliche Rohrzuckersüße und ein Wechselspiel pikanter Gewürznoten sorgen für ein tiefes, vollmundiges Geschmacksbild. Immer wieder tauchen auch Assoziationen wie Lakritze oder Espresso auf, zuweilen sogar ein Hauch Fruchtaroma von Beeren. Tolles Zigärrchen! Mittel – kräftig.

With this "flower of the Antilles", Pepín Garcia symbolically waves in the direction of his old homeland Cuba - in particular, his greeting goes to the production sites of the stronger Habanos, whose fans will find a great alternative here with a smoking time of around 50 - 65 minutes.
Flavours
With a comfortable draw, the pressed cigar runs right into the connoisseur with a cheerful "Servus!". In other words: there is nothing here about a restrained start, the powerful blend immediately brings a double portion of spice, intense coffee roast aromas and a palette of the dark wood notes typical of Pepín to the palate. Subsequently, the "juicy" ripe, rich fruit sweetness that fans of Nicaraguan Sungrown cigars love is also added. The distinctive coffee flavour plays visibly into the earthy as the smoke progresses, while a nice cocoa tone clings to the palate. A pleasingly broad spectrum!

The name of the Cojonú series refers subtly to striking masculinity - but this Toro Largo with a smoking time of approx. 80 - 105 minutes does not flaunt power at all. One of Pete's early blends - timelessly good!
Flavours
The beautiful looking cigar with the inconspicuous ring captures the attention from the 1st puff. A medium-bodied smoke, rather strong only towards the end, with undisguised, incisive tobacco aromas of wood, leather, earth and fresh coffee, only slight subtle sweetness and herbal overtones; as the smoke progresses, the flavours alternate briskly, with a general shift towards increasingly prominent earth and roasted notes. Various spices hover above the heart notes - yes, even pepper, which is (too) often used as a comparison, but especially nutmeg and even clove. A smoking pleasure full of variety!

The classic Toro format - round rolled, lusciously filled and yet with comfortable smoking characteristics - cleared excellent reviews from the trade magazines - Pepín's father (born in 1922 - hence the year) would be proud of the Filius! Smoking time approx. 75 - 90 minutes.
Flavours
The critics' acclaim (including a bombastic 95 P. in the "Cigar Journal") is no coincidence! The cigar, which is stronger than average but very smooth to smoke after a few hefty first puffs, beguiles with an abundance of brand-typical yet originally interwoven aromas - incisive tropical wood spice, ravishing chocolate pudding with a strong, oriental spiced mocha to it, clinging dark sweetness with occasional hints of dried fruit, a subtle tart latent earthiness in the background that gradually takes centre stage - truly a great marriage of intensity and elegance!

The green-robed giantess for around 75 - 90 minutes, as is usual with DP a Nicaraguan Puro, makes the new edition of Mr Garcia's original blend exciting for Gordo freaks too - but everyone else will undoubtedly love this sexy thickness too!
Flavours
Soft, creamy clouds of smoke envelop the palate in a veritable flood of flavour. The herbal, tea and hay notes that make ‘VC’ stand out from the other series in the Garcia portfolio are most prominent here and are also interwoven with a little more natural tobacco sweetness than in the other formats. The pepper boost expected by many, on the other hand, is slowed down here, with an extra-fine nutmeg note taking centre stage - in any case, the indispensable spice potpourri can be tasted at all times and gradually becomes more concise. Deep espresso notes are added towards the end.

These cigars have nothing to do with the singer Joan Baez Baez is in fact the home town of MF boss Pepín Garcia. The exile once again pays tribute to his roots with this budget series. The large corona burns for approx. 45 - 60 minutes.
Flavor
A short filler that not only smokes more like a long filler in terms of burn, but also comes close to the full-bodied aroma of one. The medium-bodied smoke is more in the spicy, piquant corner, with an earthy, peaty undertone and the roasted taste of espresso beans as constants. The spiciness is more pronounced here than in the other formats, with a moderate pinch of pepper and a nice refinement, sending the piquant aroma of an oriental bazaar to the palate. The most complex of the series!

Like the 2 other series formats, the largest also offers many trademarks of the cult brand My Father at an extremely affordable price. The door to the world of José Pepin opens in a time slot of approx. 60 - 70 minutes!
Flavours
Striking roasted and earthy notes hit the palate from the very first puff. It may sound unspectacular, but it's still great - after all, the blend was created by master Don Pepín himself and bears his signature! This means that there is also a pithy spiciness at the start, which harmonizes perfectly with the hearty, satisfying basic taste, especially as a latent liquorice/molasses sweetness comes into play again and again. In the last third, the almost medium-bodied stick becomes stronger, with peat and mocha being the dominant facets. A lot of flavor for the money!

Under the “La Mission” label, Mr Johnson offers blends that go their own way away from the classic Tatuaje flavor. This strikingly designed piece of jewelry (smoking time approx. 60 - 75 minutes) stands out once again in terms of quality!
Flavors
This beautiful box-pressed cigar ignites a veritable firework of flavors! With father-in-law José and brother-in-law Jaime Garcia, Pete has created a sparkling potpourri of mouth-filling mocha and earthy aromas, complemented by bitter-sweet cocoa notes, traces of oak, nutty umami flavors and delicate leathery overtones. The smoke is creamy and gentle on the palate, but cannot conceal the considerable power of the blend. Nutmeg and bread crust, alongside fine caramel sweetness complete a smoke that rightly receives top marks everywhere.

Die kürzeste Zigarre der rein aus Ligero-Blattgut gerollten Serie ist ein Musterbeispiel für „mehr sein als scheinen“, aromatisch wie vom Format her ein kompaktes Kraftwerk. Etwa 50 – 60 Minuten Power und Intensität – perfekt für die letzte Stunde des Tages.
Aromen
Der recht dicke Short Smoke transportiert das vereinnahmende Aromenspiel des ungewöhnlichen Blends besonders konzentriert – dichte Eichenholztöne, herbsüßer Lakritzegeschmack und tiefe Espresso-Röstaromen bilden über den gesamten Rauchverlauf das Fundament. Immer wieder mischen sich aber auch lieblichere Noten mit fruchtigem Charakter darunter, von dunklen Beeren bis zu gedörrten Feigen. Die Stärke pegelt sich vom Start weg im oberen Drehzahlbereich ein, zieht aber über weite Strecken nicht mehr an – erst gegen Ende, wenn sich üppige Torfaromen durchsetzen, kommt nochmal mehr Wucht rüber.

The dark brown Corojo Oscuro wrapper under the noble blue anillas may seem a little sinister (thus referring to the strength of the blend) – the taste picture, however, is dazzling. 50 – 60 minutes of smoking pleasure with soul!

Really, the „Blue“ are cigars like a beautiful blues song – soulful, authentic, intense and brisk. Slightly less strong than her more awe-inspiring sisters, the „Unbeatable“ is still üabove average in strength. It has a relatively high caramel sweetness with a slight hint of dried fruit – the perfect counterbalance to the massive spiciness, the prominent coffee aromas and the deep woody astringency that characterise the whole smoke to varying degrees. In the last third peaty-earthy, with a touch of smoke, but still slightly sweet. Bomb!

In context, ‘invicto’ means ‘indestructible’ rather than ‘undefeated’ - and the classic Robusto format for approx. 45 - 55 minutes is just as much that as the legendary creator of this cigar. The ideal introduction to our new series - and a fabulous cigar!
Flavours
The first puffs are grassy, toasty and surprisingly light, but then the Robusto really gets going. Pepper and earth, reliable constants of almost every Pepín blend, quickly hit the palate, as does a less expected world of flavours - diverse herbal notes (sage?) unfold alongside the noble astringency of the best tea; fruity like the ‘Black’ line in the second third, it turns towards coffee beans and resin towards the finish. Medium-bodied, yet fully flavoured and ethereally fresh at the same time - masterfully blended!

O lala, the slightly frivolous motif on the Anilla already sets the mood for a sensual smoke - and whether thought so or not, the Nicaraguan puro lives up to this claim brilliantly for about 75 - 95 minutes without being expensive.
Flavours
With basically the same tobacco blend, the long format offers a few more small facets than the Robusto. The fruity taste somewhat reminiscent of dried apricots, the pithy aroma of freshly brewed coffee, delicious bread-crust roast aromas, a light dark chocolate note. The Toro, however, is a tad creamier, with more nutty-creamy melting, and from third to third brings out ever more fine accompanying aromas, from "woody" ethereality to leathery astringency to peaty depth. Very elegant, but at the same time quite hearty at a higher strength.

"Pelo de Oro", "golden hair", is the name given in Latin America to the tobacco that provides the wrapper for this line. Paradoxically, this Cuban mother of the Corojo comes in a dark Oscuro colour. Either way: a captivating pleasure for 45 - 55 minutes.
Flavours
My Father cigars are known for an expressive start with a distinctive roast and pepper tickle before the sophisticated blends turn on the charm. With many formats, this "blast" doesn't seem so violent to us - but this little powerhouse really flexes its muscles at first. Soon, however, a gentler impression takes hold, and as the intensity increases linearly, the harmonious bijou flavour unfolds with cocoa, roasted nuts, liquorice, earth and fragrant "vegetal" overtones. The powerful spiciness blends in wonderfully. A spicy smoke of the stronger kind.
