Ecuadorian Connecticut Over a Nicaraguan Core
The Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper gives this My Father blend its distinctive outer leaf and separates it from many of the Garcia family's darker-wrapper cigars. Buyers comparing that wrapper style can browse TRP's Connecticut wrapper cigars.
Beneath the wrapper, My Father specifies a Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 binder around Nicaraguan Habano-Criollo filler. With both internal components coming from Nicaragua, the composition pairs an Ecuador-grown outer leaf with a Nicaraguan tobacco core.
My Father states that all of the tobacco except the Ecuadorian wrapper comes from Garcia-family farms. The company also identifies a particular aromatic leaf that receives special fermentation to develop the aromas and flavors intended for the blend.
6.5 × 54 Toro Format
The store's 6.5" × 54 cigar is the Toro in the My Father Connecticut lineup, giving buyers a longer format than the Robusto while staying narrower than the line's 60-ring Toro Gordo.
A 54 ring gauge equals 54/64 of an inch in diameter, while the 6.5-inch length distinguishes this vitola from the line's 6 × 48 Corona Gorda and 6 × 60 Toro Gordo. TRP groups this shape with its broader selection of Toro cigars.
The manufacturer currently lists four primary My Father Connecticut sizes: Robusto 5.25 × 52, Toro 6.5 × 54, Toro Gordo 6 × 60, and Corona Gorda 6 × 48.
Mild-Medium Strength Without Confusing Body and Flavor
Published industry specifications consistently place the My Father Connecticut Toro in the Mild-Medium strength range, so TRP should classify it with Mild-Medium cigars.
My Father does not currently publish a note-by-note tasting profile for this Toro on its official product page. For that reason, cream, cedar, toasted almonds, white pepper, baking spice, and earth from the previous TRP description should not be presented as manufacturer-described tasting notes.
The official source instead emphasizes the specially fermented aromatic leaf and states that the fermentation was developed to release the aromas and flavors the Garcias wanted for the completed blend. That is the strongest supported sensory information available from the manufacturer.
My Father Cigar Factory in Nicaragua
Jose “Pepin” Garcia and Jaime Garcia blended My Father Connecticut at the My Father Cigar Factory in Nicaragua. The cigar therefore belongs with TRP's Nicaraguan cigars, even though its wrapper tobacco is grown in Ecuador.
Within the broader My Father cigar collection, Connecticut serves as the family's Ecuadorian Connecticut-wrapped expression. Its Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 binder and Habano-Criollo filler preserve a direct relationship with Garcia-grown tobacco while changing the wrapper profile.
The manufacturer confirms the special fermentation of an aromatic component but does not publish a barrel-aging program, fixed tobacco age, or limited-release designation for this cigar. Those claims should therefore not be added.
Choosing the Mild-Medium 6.5 × 54 Toro
The Mild-Medium strength and 6.5 × 54 Toro dimensions make this format relevant for buyers who want the My Father Connecticut blend in a longer, moderately thick vitola rather than the shorter Robusto or wider Toro Gordo.
For pairing, consider a light-roast or medium-roast coffee, an Irish whiskey, or a softer wheated bourbon. These are editorial suggestions based on the cigar's Mild-Medium classification and Connecticut-wrapper format rather than manufacturer specifications.
For longer-term cigar storage, keep humidity and temperature stable rather than relying on the retail box alone. TRP's cigar humidors provide storage options for maintaining a controlled environment.
Ordering My Father Connecticut Through TRP Cigars
TRP's current commerce options let buyers choose the My Father Connecticut Toro as a single cigar, five-pack, or box rather than requiring one fixed quantity.
TRP Cigars operates a physical lounge in Cedarhurst, New York, and states that the business was founded in 2005. Tobacco purchases are subject to the store's 21+ age-verification policy.
TRP also states that standard shipping is free on qualifying orders over $99 and that orders above $500 require a signature. Shipping-policy terms should remain controlled by the store policy rather than repeated as permanent product attributes.
