The #1 Cigar of The Year 2024 Rated 98⭐ by Cigar Aficionado Magazine
All rise for My Father The Judge! A commanding smoke of epic proportions. Showcasing the brand's blending at its absolute finest. Utilizing a new twist “The Judge” is rolled in a beautiful Sumatra Oscuro wrapper from Ecuador.
With the exception of the dark, Sumatra-seed Ecuadoran wrapper, all the tobacco comes from farms across Nicaragua. The Garcias spent many years obtaining these rare seed varietals.
These glorious full bodied cigars begin with two different leaves for the binder. One Criollo Nicaraguan, one Corojo Nicaraguan. This ingenious mix is blended with the finest Nicaraguan filler before it's adorned with the Sumatra blend wrapper.
As is typical of Cuban construction, the cigar is made with two binders, one Corojo and one Criollo. The tobacco comes from at least three regions. The La Bonita Two farm in Jalapa, El Pedrero in Estelí and San Rafael in Namanji.
Cigar lovers quickly took notice and My Father the Judge was recognized by Cigar Aficionado Magazine. Starting in 2017, the blend received a 93 point rating and #7 on the Top 25 “This cigar delivers, with satisfying notes of chocolate and gingersnap driven by an underlying red pepper spice and plenty of nutty character”. It wasn't long before it was awarded again.
In 2021 it dropped in the ranks of the Top 25 falling to #17 however the blend received another impressive 93 point rating Cigar Aficionado is quoted saying “The Grand Robusto has the look and taste of a chocolate bar, with sweet hints of peanuts, caramel and just a touch of red pepper spice.”
In 2024 the third time's the charm, climbing to the #1 spot of the Top 25 winning Cigar of the Year for 2024 with an amazing 98 point rating! Cigar Aficionado magazine said “The Grand Robusto’s thick ring gauge allows for a thorough exploration of Nicaragua’s tobacco appellations, making for a cigar that is rich and complex.
It shows an ample core of earth, toast and wood along with finer nutty details and sweet undercurrents all amounting to a bold smoke that resonates with balance and satisfaction. Every puff is certainly a cross section of Nicaragua’s finest soils, but beyond that, it also affirms a passion for tobacco, a strong work ethic, and an even stronger belief in the power of family.”— Gregory Mottola December 2024
Anyone who's skeptical needs to take a draw. The passion is palpable from the very start! ...Read More

It's good, but overhyped
I got a box from Mike's after the 2024 CotY rating from CA. I was really excited to try it but was left a little disappointed. I mean, it's good, but it's not great. The draw is tighter than I expected so the smoke volume isn't great. It burns well (I don't really need burn touchups), but the flavor was a lot more muted than I expected. Maybe I built it up in my head too much after the 98 score, but I would put other cigars ahead of this one for sure. My current favorite is the Plasencia Alma Fuerte and this one doesn't come close to unseating it.

Grand Robusto
Like this size, a little shorter then the Gordo. This one has moved up to one of my top 5-6. It's rated at full but I think it is a little milder, which makes it a nice smooth smoke, ENJOY
My Father's The Judge Toro is a cigar that exudes power and refinement
My Father's The Judge Toro is an outstanding cigar that commands attention with its bold flavor and impeccable construction. This full-bodied cigar features a dark and oily Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. Upon lighting, the flavors come alive with an impressive complexity. Notes of dark cocoa, black pepper, and hints of leather intertwine on the palate, creating a robust and satisfying profile. The construction is flawless, offering an effortless draw and a razor-sharp burn that enhances the smoking experience. My Father's The Judge Toro is a cigar that exudes power and refinement, making it an exceptional choice that leaves a lasting impression.
