Jaime Garcia 10th Anniversary Slated for Nov. 1 Release
My Father Cigars will soon be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial line with a limited edition that is slated to arrive in stores in early November.
The company has not yet formally announced the details, but a report by Cigar Aficionado indicates that like many of the company’s limited editions, it is a 6 1/2 x 52 toro. The blend is said to be similar to that of the core line, meaning a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and filler, though the limited edition adds some pelo de oro tobacco grown on the Garcia’s family farms.
The cigar is reported to be priced at $20, before taxes, and offered in 16-count boxes, with 2,500 boxes produced at the My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí.
An email sent to the company regarding the cigar and the accuracy of the report has not yet been returned.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
