Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Cigars
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial is a Nicaraguan cigar collection from My Father Cigars bearing the name of cigar maker Jaime Garcia. The original cigar first appeared during a special event in New York City in December 2009 and was subsequently developed into a regular-production collection.
The original Reserva Especial is built around a dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. The later Reserva Especial Connecticut retains the Nicaraguan interior tobaccos but substitutes an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, creating two distinctly different expressions within the Jaime Garcia collection.
Jaime Garcia Cigar Blends and Sizes
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial
The original Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial is a medium-to-full Nicaraguan cigar using Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper tobacco over Nicaraguan binder and filler. The dark, oily Broadleaf wrapper is the defining tobacco component of the blend and distinguishes Reserva Especial from the lighter Connecticut extension.
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Connecticut
Reserva Especial Connecticut uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos grown on Garcia family farms. The blend is positioned in the mild-to-medium range while retaining the Nicaraguan tobacco foundation associated with the original Reserva Especial.
Reserva Especial Broadleaf vs. Connecticut
Wrapper and strength provide the clearest distinction between the two Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial blends. The original uses dark Connecticut Broadleaf and falls in the medium-to-full range. Reserva Especial Connecticut uses Ecuadorian Connecticut and moves toward mild-to-medium strength. Both use Nicaraguan binder and filler and are handmade in Nicaragua.
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Belicoso
The Reserva Especial Belicoso measures 5.5 x 52 and uses the original Connecticut Broadleaf blend. Its tapered head distinguishes the Belicoso from the straight-sided Robusto, Toro, and larger-ring formats in the Reserva Especial collection.
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Connecticut Churchill
The Reserva Especial Connecticut Churchill measures 7 x 50. It combines the longer Churchill format with the Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler used throughout the Reserva Especial Connecticut collection.
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Sizes
The original Reserva Especial is produced in a broad selection of vitolas, including Petit Robusto, Robusto, Belicoso, Toro, Toro Gordo, Super Gordo, Gordo Extra, Corona Grande, and Figurado formats. Reserva Especial Connecticut is offered in Robusto, Toro, Toro Gordo, and Churchill sizes.

Where Are Jaime Garcia Cigars Made?
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial cigars are handcrafted in Nicaragua at My Father Cigars. Both the original Broadleaf and Connecticut versions use Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos, while their wrapper origins and strength profiles distinguish the two collections.
Choosing a Jaime Garcia Cigar
Start by choosing between the two Reserva Especial wrapper styles. The original Connecticut Broadleaf blend provides the darker and stronger expression, while Reserva Especial Connecticut offers a lighter Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and lower strength. From there, compare the available straight-sided and shaped vitolas.
