My Father No.1 Robusto

The My Father No. 1 Robusto is a full-bodied Nicaraguan cigar that captures the García family’s bold, Cuban-inspired style in the classic Robusto format. Hand-rolled at the family’s Estelí factory from Nicaraguan tobaccos grown on their own farms, it delivers depth and structure rather than raw strength — a dense, complex smoke that rewards slow, considered enjoyment. From a spicy, cedar-laced opening through a creamy, coffee-and-leather middle to a robust espresso-and-dark-chocolate finish, this is My Father doing what made its name: full flavour, flawless construction and real progression from light to nub.

About My Father

My Father Cigars was founded in 2003 by legendary master blender José “Pepín” García and his son Jaime García, with roots in a small factory in Little Havana, Miami. Drawing on generations of Cuban cigar-making tradition, the Garcías quickly established My Father as a benchmark for bold, flavourful Nicaraguan cigars with impeccable construction. The original My Father line — created by Jaime as a tribute to his father — helped redefine the premium Nicaraguan category and has collected numerous 90+ ratings and industry accolades. Today My Father operates a state-of-the-art factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, and is recognised worldwide for innovation, family heritage and an unwavering commitment to quality.
