My Father Adding Sizes to The Judge and La Opulencia

Two of My Father Cigars, Inc.’s lines will be getting new sizes in the coming weeks, as the company has announced a corona gorda for My Father The Judge line and a box-pressed torpedo for My Father La Opulencia that are scheduled to begin shipping in March.

The Judge Corona Gorda will measure 5 5/8 x 46 and will be priced at $11 per cigar and offered in 23-count boxes like the rest of the line. It becomes the fourth size in the line, which debuted in 2016:

The Judge uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over Nicaraguan corojo and criollo binders and Nicaraguan fillers.

My Father’s La Opulencia line will be getting its first new size since the line debuted in September 2017. The new size is a box-pressed torpedo that measures 6 1/2 by 52, is priced at $12.20 before taxes and offered in 20-count boxes. It becomes the seventh size in the line, which uses a Mexican rosado oscuro wrapper with a dual Nicaraguan binder featuring criollo and corojo leaves, while the filler comes from the García’s farms in Nicaragua.

• My Father La Opulencia Petite (4 1/2 x 48)
• My Father La Opulencia Corona (5 x 46)

Both lines are produced at the company’s factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

The company made the announcement via Cigar Aficionado, and has since confirmed the accuracy of the article and released images of the cigars.

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.
