Two decades after Don Pepín García introduced the DPG Series JJ cigar—named after his children Jaime and Janny—the line returns in celebration, not nostalgia. The Series JJ 20th Anniversary 2025 cigar is My Father Cigars’ tribute to legacy, craft, and the family story that’s shaped one of Nicaragua’s most respected cigar dynasties. Rolled in the family’s Estelí factory and using tobaccos grown entirely on García-owned fields, this is a release that stays close to home.
The anniversary blend features a shade-grown Corojo ’99 rosado wrapper from Las Lometas, wrapped around Nicaraguan binder and filler that includes a touch of rare Pelo de Oro—a low-yield, flavor-packed leaf the Garcías reserve for their most exclusive blends. Offered in a 6½” x 52 toro and a darker, single-salomon format, each 17-count box includes 16 toros and one coffin-housed salomon at the center. Just 2,500 boxes exist, each marked with special anniversary bands and gold-ribbon foot detailing.
What does the DPG Series JJ 20th Anniversary 2025 cigar taste like?
This toro is medium-full-bodied and deeply expressive, with balanced notes of red pepper, sun-dried cherry, baking spice, and toasted cedar. The rosado wrapper adds natural sweetness and structure, while the Pelo de Oro brings richness without weight. It’s a cigar that doesn’t shout about its milestone—but after two decades, it doesn’t have to.
