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

Decent cigar
I think this cigar was or is overhyped. I tried my father la opulencia and fell in love. The judge was ok but far from la opulencia in my opinion

Yep agree it's #1, except for maybe construction
I have a box of the #1 cigar from a few years ago, the aging room winner. The fact that I still have half a box and have given a few away shows how much I don't like them. It's like smoking a diesel-soaked sock. I wasn't expecting much more from these. However, as I was smoking I kept thinking: "Is this the best cigar I've ever smoked?" It might be. The only drawback, no pun intended, is that construction was dubious. It started to unravel before I even lit it. I've only smoked one out of the five pack so far. I will order a box if the next one does not unravel at the cut. Taste, draw, burn all perfect. A seamless smoke.

I have loved the My Father Cigar since Flor de las Antillas
The Judge is one of the best cigars I have ever had the pleasure to smoke.
The My Father line is one of my favorites. I fell in love with their cigars back when I first tried the Flor De Las Antillas, #1 rated cigar some years back. Tremendous quality, value and consistency from My FAther. I love their cigars!!

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.
