According to a representative from My Father Cigars, the La Dueña No. 13 is a 6 x 56 box-pressed vitola and will come packed in 12-count boxes as opposed to the 21-count boxes that the rest of the line uses. MSRP for the La Dueña No. 13 is $9.00 per cigar, and according to Sotolongo’s post, the cigars began to ship on Friday.

With the addition of the No. 13, the La Dueña line now stands at six vitolas:

  • No. 2 – Belicoso – 5 1/2 x 54
  • No. 9 – Petit Belicoso – 4 3/4 x 48
  • No. 97- Petit Lancero – 6 x 42
  • No. 5 – Robusto – 5 x 50
  • No. 11 – Petit Robusto – 4 1/2 x 52
  • No. 13 – Box-pressed Toro Gordo – 6 x 56

The La Dueña debuted at the 2012 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show and uses a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over binder and filler from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragaua, with blending done by Pete Johnson of Tatuaje.

In November, the company announced the addition of a box-pressed 6 x 60 Toro Gordo called the #6 to the My Father line, as well as a 6 x 62 Toro Grande to the Don Pepin Garcia Original line.

My Father Cigars also announced the return of the highly sought-after Centurion line as part of their 10th anniversary celebration.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
