After the Flor de las Antillas claimed the #1 Cigar of the Year title, the pressure to follow it up would have broken most blenders. Don Pepín and Jaime García answered with La Antiguedad — “The Antiquity” — a cigar that reaches even deeper into the family’s Cuban heritage and delivers something richer, darker, and more complex than anything before it in the My Father portfolio.

Every leaf in La Antiguedad is grown on Garcia family land — specifically the farms of San Rafael, Las Quebradas, and San Jose in Nicaragua, all privately owned and operated by My Father Cigars. The filler tobacco is subjected to a strict curing process of no less than three and a half years before a single cigar is rolled — a commitment to aging that most brands won’t even attempt. The result is a double-binder construction of Corojo and Criollo wrapped in a stunning Ecuadorian Habano Rosado Oscuro leaf with a slight reddish-brown hue, all box-pressed across five vitolas. Medium-to-full in strength, complex yet balanced, La Antiguedad delivers cocoa, baker’s chocolate, roasted coffee, leather, floral sweetness, and a long pepper-laced finish that lingers long after the last draw.

Why You’ll Love It

Generational Patience: Three and a half years of curing before rolling is not a marketing claim — it’s a standard the Garcia family holds every batch of La Antiguedad filler tobacco to, and the depth it creates in the final smoke is immediately evident.

Pure Garcia Family Terroir: From seed to smoke, every leaf in La Antiguedad is grown on the Garcia family’s own farms — San Rafael, Las Quebradas, and San Jose — giving this blend a purity and traceability that sets it apart from anything in its class.

The Second Act: Coming off the Flor de las Antillas’ historic #1 Cigar of the Year win, La Antiguedad didn’t try to replicate the formula — it went deeper, bolder, and more complex, proving that the Garcia family’s best work is always still ahead of them.
