Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ Toro is a 6 x 54 cigar named for Jaime and Janny, the children of master blender José “Pepin” Garcia. Series JJ is one of Pepin’s older boutique lines and predates the My Father Cigars brand. The Toro is its largest regular size. In 2011, Cigar Journal awarded Series JJ its Best Brand trophy.
The wrapper is a smooth, butterscotch brown Corojo Rosado. Underneath is a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers that are a mix of Corojo and Criollo long leaf. The strength is medium to full, and My Father rates it “3/4 to full.” Expect cedar, ginger, coffee and baking spice, backed by earth and pepper. The finish is creamy and smooth.
The 54 ring gauge gives a generous, cool smoke and a comfortable hold. Reviewers describe a balanced blend where neither strength nor body overpowers the other. Allow roughly 60 to 90 minutes, depending on pace. The size suits a relaxed afternoon or an after dinner smoke.
This cigar suits smokers who enjoy Cuban inspired blends with a rich profile and a sweet wrapper. It is also a good choice for anyone who wants to try one of Pepin Garcia’s classic boutique lines.
