My Father Begins Shipping Reworked Vegas Cubanas

Vegas Cubanas was one of the first blends created by José “Pepín” García. It was introduced when García’s lone factory was El Rey de los Habanos in Miami and before My Father was a term that referenced a cigar company.

After the success of My Father and brands like Flor de las Antillas and Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial, the line was largely phased out but returned to stores nationwide in 2017. That most recent iteration had slightly updated packaging and was made at My Father Cigars in Estelí, Nicaragua, but now there’s a full revamp of Vegas Cubanas, complete with new packaging and a new blend.

The new blend is a Nicaraguan puro with a corojo rosado wrapper.

It’s offered in five sizes:

  • Don Pepín García Vegas Cubanas Coronas (5 1/2 x 44) — $7.60 (Box of 20, $152)
  • Don Pepín García Vegas Cubanas Invictos (5 x 50) — $8.50 (Box of 20, $170)
  • Don Pepín García Vegas Cubanas Generosos (6 x 50) — $8.70 (Box of 20, $174)
  • Don Pepín García Vegas Cubanas Imperiales (6 1/8 x 52) — $9 (Box of 20, $180)
  • Don Pepín García Vegas Cubanas Toro Gordo (6 x 60) — $10 (Box of 20, $200)

Four of the sizes are the same as before, though the company has added the 6 x 60 Toro Gordo and removed the Delicias (7 x 50) and Mangates (7 5/8 x 49) vitolas that were previously offered.
