The My Father Don Pepin Vintage Edition Toro Gordo (6 1/2" x 56) is a triumphant evolution of Don Pepin Garcia’s iconic original blend, now offered in a larger, more commanding format. Expertly crafted in Estelí, Nicaragua, this full-bodied masterpiece showcases a carefully aged Nicaraguan Corojo '99 wrapper over a potent blend of Nicaraguan binder and fillers, capturing the soul of Pepin’s earliest work with new depth and richness.
From the first draw, the Toro Gordo opens with a burst of Cuban-style pepper and spice before transitioning into waves of toasted cedar, caramelized almonds, dark chocolate, and a hint of citrus peel. The wide ring gauge offers a cool, voluminous smoke that accentuates the cigar’s complexity, balancing earthiness with refined sweetness in true My Father style.
Presented in a retro Cuban-style band with classic gold and red hues, this vitola not only celebrates Don Pepin’s roots in Miami but also reflects the mastery and progression of his family’s Nicaraguan legacy. A standout for both its flavor and its format, the Toro Gordo is perfect for those seeking an extended and satisfying smoking session that honors tradition while embracing modern finesse.
Pair it with the Robusto or Corona Gorda from the Don Pepin Vintage Edition line, or contrast it with bolder blends like the My Father The Judge Toro Fino for a dynamic portfolio experience.
