My Father Cigars
S I X by S I X T Y and then S O M E
New sizes added to the My Father and the Don Pepin Garcia Original


As times change, smoking preferences change and the new trend for consumers is the 60-ring-gauge cigar. For this reason, you asked and we delivered. There is now a new size in the My Father line and one in the Don Pepin Garcia Original.


In the My Father line we have added the My Father #6, a box pressed Toro Gordo 6 x 60, in an 18 cigar count box. This box will have the beautiful and signature packaging of My Father, but will be in three rows of 6, a new style for this line. Suggested retail price for the My Father #6 is $12.00 per cigar. For the Don Pepin Garcia Original we will be releasing a 6 x 62 Toro Grande, also box pressed in an 18 cigar count box, with traditional Don Pepin Garcia packaging in rows of 6. Suggested retail price for the Don Pepin Garcia Original Toro Grande is $9.50.

Expect these in stores for the holidays. Shipping will begin the first week of December!

...really? Don't know about you guys, but a 62 ring jawbreaker isn't my favorite vitola. I found the monsters from Padron (SI limited release) interesting, but didn't pursue any more. Just not my cup of tea.

What do you guys think....??
 
I like the chunky ring guage, but that is just me.

I do wish they were shorter, I just have a hard time finding the time to smoke a 6x60.

I will look at picking upa few to sample for sure.

Very aggressive....

</= 52rg is much more humane, IMHO. I also agree with Tim about the time factor.
 
I generally prefer a smaller ring gauge. I will probably grab a few just to try them though.
 
We swarthy, unctuous types prefer Lanceros. Anything above 50 ring gauge is for folks who want a mouthful of flavorless tobacco.

I've enjoyed several 60 ring Padrons. (Thanks Tom) I've purchased some of the new 1964 release, they need to rest a little while. A good scotch (Glengoyne), a little spring water, and a 60 ring :love: .....dam......did I die and go to heaven? :laugh:
 
I am not a big fan of the larger rings, I however do like the Padron, fine cigar.

Well Sir, that is one Man's opinion anyway.... :thumbs:
 
I have to agree. Give me a lancero or a corona and I'm happy. Anything 60-guage or higher and I just pass right over it.
 
I smoked a 60 ring gauge cigar once.....I believe it was a Brickhouse. While I enjoyed the flavor, I just couldn't deal with the girth (I know.....that sounds perverse). I'm not surprised by the Garcias decision though......it does seem to be the current trend.
 
I really can't get into ring gauges above the 50 range either. It always seems to cumbersome and not as enjoyable.
 
This seems to have been a trend for a number of years now. Cuba is heading this way as well. I guess manufacturers think this is what the consumer wants? If so, is there a group study suggesting this? Have they been flooded with requests from people saying "I would smoke cigars regularly if only they were 60rg"? I simply don't get it. To each his own I suppose, but this seems to be happening at the expense of my lancero, lonsdale and corona sizes. :(
 
While I do admit to enjoying the larger ring guage cigars, I also like a lancero and corona as well.

Time and place for eveything.

It seems like I see a majority of those huge rg cigars being smoked the last several times I've been in the Outlaw, so I think it is a market trend. Unfortunately we make up the the minority among cigar smokers anymore it seems. The "afficianados" (for lack of a better term) that prefer the smaller rg coronas, lanceros, etc are a niche market, and since a larger rg doesn't require as much expertise to roll, and can probably get away with slightly lower quality tobacco, they are probably cheap/easier to make and have a higher profit margin. As much as I would like to think that people like Pepin, Padron, etc would stick to traditions, and would only make cigars they would want to smoke themselves, they are in this business to make money too and have to try to meet what the majority demands.
 
I blame it on newbs, compensating for something. :whistling:

Doc
 
Very good post Sneeds. Also, you'll need to change your "Baggo ROTY". :whistling:
 
I have yet to smoke a 60rg, just don't have that much time to devote to a smoke. I would much rather have something in the corona or robusto size. Not to mention that size had a better taste to me.
