My Father Limited Edition 2011 – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on May 11th, 2011

In 2010 I gave the My Father Limited Edition cigar of the year despite it’s hefty price. I was totally caught up in the mystique surrounding the cigar. I mean how often do you get to smoke a cigar that was bunched by Jaime Garcia and rolled by Jose Pepin Garcia. The original concept called for production to be extremely limited and a once in a lifetime deal. So I was a bit surprised to hear the LE was coming back in 2011 but this time without the special buncher and roller taking part in the cigar.

I picked up a couple of the My Father LE 2011 from various shops in 2 different states.. How does it compare to last year? Read on my friends!

Last week on Twitter, Miami Cigar & Company released a tweet of a box pressed cigar that was being smoked. The cigar, which was labeled a test blend had many curious to what it was. Well, tonight that cat is out of the proverbial bag.

Friday News: IPCPR Version

Posted by acigarsmoker on August 13th, 2010

There are so many updates that I decided to come back a day early. Here are some memories and information about new cigars. The list is long and will continue tomorrow as well.

I guess everyone wants to know how IPCPR and to be honest I found it a little overwhelming even with crowds much lighter then normal. I pretty much took a lot of time to be a spectator and I wandered the floor looking at new products and only taking the time to introduce myself if the person was not busy. After all this is a show for retailers first, press second.

Cigar Review: Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial

Posted by acigarsmoker on July 21st, 2010

The first time I smoked these cigars were at the launch event over at Cigar Inn. Sadly the cigar that was released that night is different then the current version and I have this on good authority. It seems following the success of the My Father cigar that Jaime put together as a tribute to his father he was “allowed” to create the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial. The story goes that at the Cigar Inn event Pepin smoked the cigar for the first time and wasn’t very excited about it. So when back at the farm the cigar went under a reblend of sorts and this is the cigar we have today.The cigar features 2 different kinds of Nicaraguan tobacco with one grown by Jaime and the other Pepin. Also the cigar features tobacco grown at the Oliva farm giving us a different more complex cigar then previously smoked.

Cigar Review: La Reloba Sumatra

A few weeks back I reviewed the Habano release of the La Reloba from My Father Cigars. Released in May of 2010 these cigars pretty much popped up under the radar. The Nicaraguan Puros are available in Corona, Robusto, Toro and a Torpedo. The best news is the cost of these cigars which will be under $6.50 a stick MSRP.

How does the Sumatra compare vs the review of the Habano? This is my take and I encourage you to give these cigars a try to formulate your own opinion and let us know what you think.

Cigar: La Reloba Sumatra
Size: 5 x 50 (Robusto)
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Sumatra
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Strength: Medium/Full

The Tobacos Baez cigars are named for the small town where Jose Pepin Garcia was born. Baez, Cuba is in the center of the country and you would be amazed at how many cigar names come from the small towns of Cuba. Pulling up a map on Google shows a lot of names we all recognize.

The Tobacos Baez Serie H is produced at Pepin Industrial Park in Nicaragua at the El Rey De Los Habanos Cigar Factory.

Cigar: Tobacos Baez Series H
Size: 5.50 x 52 (Belicoso)
Wrapper: Habano
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Ncaragua
Strength: Medium

Cigar Review: Mi Barrio

Cigar: Mi Barrio
Size: 7.5 x 52 (El Puro)
Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua (Esteli & Jalapa)
Strength: Medium/Full

The cigar is meant to pay homage to Jose Pepin Garcia (who blended the cigar) and Orestes Espinosa Sr., Erik Espinosa’s father, who has been an avid cigar enthusiast for most of his life.” Did the cigar do them justice?
