At TOR Imports, we are thrilled to congratulate Don Pepín, Jaime, Janny, Jandy, Rosa, Yosef, and the entire García family, along with the remarkable team at My Father Cigars, on their outstanding achievement. With an impressive 98-point rating, The Judge has been crowned No.1 in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2024. This accolade is a testament to their unwavering dedication to craftsmanship, quality, and tradition.
This isn’t just another win for My Father Cigars—it’s their third Cigar of the Year award from Cigar Aficionado! 🏆🏆🏆 Out of the 21 rankings ever awarded, three belong to the García family, cementing their legacy as icons of the cigar world. It’s no wonder My Father Cigars holds a place of honour in TOR’s portfolio—The House of No.1s.
Originally released at the end of 2016, the My Father The Judge Grand Robusto was named Cigar Journal’s No.1 Cigar of 2017.
Today, with an incredible score of 98 points, it’s not a coincidence that it has also won the prestigious accolade as No.1 Cigar of 2024 by Cigar Aficionado.
The Judge features three different Nicaraguan fillers, all grown on Garcia family farms as well as Corojo and Criollo binders and is finished with an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. This full bodied cigar starts off slightly salty, with interesting woody and almond tones. It is unbelievably smooth, nutty, delicately acidic and develops subtle notes of anise, coffee and bread in the very creamy smoke texture.
Wrapper: Sumatra Oscuro
Binder: Corojo Criollo
Filler: Nicaragua
Strength: Full

A Legacy of Mastery
The García family’s relentless pursuit of excellence begins in the fields of Estelí, Nicaragua, where tobacco is cultivated with care and precision. From there, their expert rollers transform each leaf into works of art, reflecting decades of experience and a passion for perfection. This dedication is evident in every puff of The Judge, a cigar that embodies balance, complexity, and an unforgettable flavour profile.

A Partnership of Pride
Since the introduction of the My Father brand in the UK in 2008, the Garcia Family seem to come up with hit blend after hit blend. After a lengthy wait for international availability, we were delighted to launch two vitolas from the My Father The Judge range only two weeks prior to this recognition, including the winning cigar. As the exclusive UK distributor for My Father Cigars, TOR is proud to bring their world-class creations to British aficionados. Each cigar is a celebration of the García family’s mastery, and this latest No.1 ranking only reinforces their place at the pinnacle of the industry.
Looking Ahead
We can’t wait to return to Nicaragua, where we’ll once again experience the García family’s legendary hospitality, witness their dedication on the fields and rolling floors, and immerse ourselves in the vibrant energy of their craft. Until then, we raise a glass to My Father Cigars and this monumental achievement.
Here’s to many more years of sharing their exceptional cigars with enthusiasts across the UK. Cheers to The Judge—truly deserving of its crown!
