Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial
Jaime García, pronounced Hi-may, is the son of the legendary Don Pepín García and a full partner in the My Father Cigars operation his father built. The Reserva Especial debuted in December 2009 at a private event at Cigar Inn in New York City, blended entirely by Jaime working solo, and the reception was immediate enough that it became a regular production line under his own name. What distinguishes it most from the rest of the My Father portfolio is the profile: where Don Pepín's signature is an aggressive Nicaraguan pepper charge, Jaime leaned instead toward a chocolate-forward, smoother construction, a deliberate departure that carved out its own identity. A dark, near-black, glistening Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper covers densely packed Nicaraguan binder and long-filler drawn exclusively from García family farms in Estelí, all rolled at My Father Cigars S.A. in Nicaragua.
