La Mission, launched in 2015, is the most full bodied release of L'atelier, using a Mexican San Andres wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The blend also includes Sancti Spiritus leaf in the filler, a tobacco grown by the Garcia family in Nicaragua. La Mission is handmade in the Garcia's factory, My Father Cigars.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength

Full
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican San Andres Maduro
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
My Father Cigars
My Father Cigars manufactures handmade premium cigars in Miami and Esteli, Nicaragua. The company is owned and operated by Don Pepin, his son Jaime, and his daughter Janny. The "Garcia Family Industrial Park" located in Esteli, Nicaragua is a seven-acre complex with 9 buildings, over 1900 employees, where the Garcias supervise their cigar production from the tobacco field to the roller's table. Their Miami headquarters house 12 rollers that make all of the company's "handmade in Miami" brands.

Very good

Alex S.01/16/2024About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

One of my all time favorites. Never disappoints. Sometimes you get an extra good one that is absolutely stellar. These are a steal at this price.

Subrata B.12/11/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Awesome

Pedro S.12/04/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

New addition to to humidor.

Chris P.09/21/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Thumbs up. Very spicy stick.

Pierre D.07/10/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Now this cigar is not new to me. And Neptune as delivered once again a perfect box and will enjoy these on every occasion I pull one out and make my fellow aficionados ask me where did I get this one. And I will again let them know they are missing out by not purchasing from Neptune. With great offering, pricing, customer service. Easy to order securely from online and have them shipped either to California to Canada…. I speak from experience

Luis S.06/17/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Simply a gem. Tiny but mighty

Junior S.06/08/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Great smoke, flavors and construction.

Nathan C.04/10/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Draw was horrible and it went out a few times. Perfec Draw tool couldn't fix the draw. Good notes of light chocolate with the occasional burst of pepper.

Brandt W.03/18/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

As they say , sometimes good things come in small packages.dynamite ??

Ronnie P.03/09/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Pete Johnson is a wizard with the leaf and I've been a huge fan for years. This blend is no exception. If you dig dark, sweet, earthy blends in a small format this one's hard to beat.

Aaron M.03/03/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

A really great smoke. I’m always drawn to a San Andres Maduro. The stick itself is not overly attractive. The draw and burn were near perfect. The aroma filled the air with a thick leathery tobacco smoke. It tastes of rich leather, wood, and subtle spice. I never tasted any sweetness that some experience. For me this was a medium-full profile. It was just a really nice smoke that I would recommend to anyone.

Tom K.02/06/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Excellent!

Richard C.01/31/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

I’m a big Tatuaje fan, although this stick just didn’t do it for me. Was hoping for more!

James J.01/14/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This cigar ruined over 100 sticks for me!! The deep rich cocoa & chocolate was absolutely delicious & superb!! Te burn & ash were an absolute dream!! The awesome flavor is what ruined my everyday sticks because of the hundreds of cigars I have resting in my humidor nothing can even come close to matching the fantastic deep rich flavors!! If you've not tried L'Atelier La Mission you're missing out but beware this cigar just might ruin your collection as it has done for me!! I highly recommend!!

James J.01/10/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

If you are passionate about cigars that match body & strength look no further!! La Mission is a fantastic stick that will leave you with an experience that may never be reached again!! It left me chasing the dragon trying to find another stick that could beat this experience but left me with: trying to find anything that might match or even compete.... I am a huge fan of L'Atelier & Pete Johnsons' craft... I have 6? Tatuaje reviews coming. Thanks to you Neptune!!

Raul D.01/07/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

By far one of my favorite cigars

Matthew D.01/02/2023About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Burned well with a good draw but not quite to my taste.

Luis S.12/22/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Excellent and elegant

Very nice

Patrick H.12/17/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

The La Mission L’Atelier 1959 provides a surprisingly long, complex, and satisfying smoke in a deceptively small package.

Sal A.12/14/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

When I first tried this cgar 4 or 5 years ago it was great. Now, not so great. Couldn't keep it lit or stop it from running. Won't be buying again.

Mark L.12/12/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Great full-body cigar. Peppery with chocolate and coffee notes. Highly recommended!

Aristeo J.12/09/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Top notch smoke

Ray D.12/07/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Perfect full body 1 hour smoke. Layers of leather, wood, cocoa, and spice. This is a bold cigar with great smoke output and a great smoke time for it's size.

Nelson E.12/04/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

The cigar was okay. Too loose of a draw for me though.

Emmanuel Roncier F.11/17/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

8/10 Bold. Great smoke output. Might need some time to settle in the humidor.

Karl L.09/19/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Only a decent cigar!

Bryan W.08/26/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Super cigar for the price, they can change a bad day into a good day, the perfect evening smoke.

Rum H.08/21/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Very good cigar! Smooth and tasty with an excellent aroma and unique touch of chocolate. Easily worth double its price.

David F.08/15/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Very good smoke, great draw and burn. Does not disappoint.

good cigar

Francis L.08/14/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

I find this more balanced than the robusto but still packs a punch. Delicious full bodied stick.

Károly F.07/20/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

I like more the robusto, but it's still a good smoke

Chris W.07/06/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This is wonderfully made and has amazing depth of flavour. I would recommend to all

Jerry R.07/05/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Excellent cigar from My Father. Construction and draw was great.. had to perform one relight but I was in a pretty windy environment. Would recommend to anyone!

JAO S.06/02/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Great full bodied cigar.

Vinny D.05/27/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Very nice taste i can't quite make it out besides the cocoa, & cinnamon, maybe molasses? But very good

Hamad A.05/21/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Good cigar

Michael C.02/07/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Slightly firm on the draw but an overall excellent smoke with varying flavor notes throughout

Ivon01/30/2022About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Excellent cigar. good construction, pleasant aroma, consistent, well balanced, not too complex, effortless. Dominant flavor was smooth leather and a hint of wood notes combined into a unique maduro background. medium plus on flavors and medium minus strength. Good for any level of experience.

Juan R.12/22/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

:-)

William C.11/14/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This Tatuaje cigar was really good overall. The construction was on point as was the draw. The initial taste was very heavy on peppery spice which was just a tiny bit off-putting but it smoothed out quickly into some leathery, slightly creamy and nutty flavors which were very enjoyable. The burn was a bit uneven and needed a relight after sitting for just a minute or so halfway through it. I was surprised that there was no harshness even down to a little nub. Would buy again.

Cesar R.09/21/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Favorite cigar to start a day. This and an espresso is the recipe for success.

Cesar R.09/21/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Slightly longer version from one of the Top Cigars for the last decade.

Patrick E.08/17/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

5 stars! Excellent in every category. Great smoke before a concert!

Reid B.08/09/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This is another My Father that is delicious. Rich, toasty (which really appeals to me), light spice, medium + strength, great flavor, very nice size. At $8.50 this is a very nice value also... CA rated it #4 on the best cigars of 2020... worth a visit.. Razor sharp burn and a perfect draw! Smoking well for a young cigar..

Howard H.07/26/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Great smokes

Victor A.07/20/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Nice cigar

E07/11/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

What little of it I could taste and smell was lovely. But the construction was terrible and despite some gentle perfecdraw surgery and a twisted clumps of tobacco pulled out of the head, I accepted defeat. It was unsmokeable. Unrolled it once I gave up and found 4 huge stems in there that were the issue. Shame.

Franz B.06/17/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

That’s a very good cigar. Clean, even burn all the way down and good smoke production with a smooth draw. Great aroma and nice flavor. Medium body, creamy and slightly sweet. Recommend.

Chris M.06/17/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Clearly a high quality stick. Smooth draw and beautiful strength. Pretty classy stuff!

GARY MILLER05/09/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

so far tried 3 all tasted a little different

Michael N.05/07/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Déçu par le cigare

david k.04/23/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Earthy, meaty, salty aroma. Diferent but very good

Brian C.04/23/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

I really like the burn and draw on this one. Very smooth. I got a lot of coco, some hints of cinnamon and a very mellow tobacco. Highly recommend.

Dan Sullivan04/23/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Purchased because this smoke landed on the top 25 list this year. It was a bit of a wild card smoke and not similar to my normal cigar choices. However, I enjoyed the unique taste. Had to relight once but it did burn smoothly. This was a great "outside of the box" smoke for me.

Steven D.04/15/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Love this stick

Timothy D.04/15/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

What a salty little treat. Salt and sweat make this a great and quick little smoke. I would recommend and definitely would buy again. Great cigar to add to a collection.

Stanley C.04/14/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This cigar was highly rated by CA. I thought it was good but I didn’t feel it should have been rated so highly

Fantastic cigar. The pre light smell is amazing. Draw and burn were spot on. Loved the flavor and aroma of this smoke. Very box worthy. Tatuaje did it again.

Steven D.02/09/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Great stick

Matt P.02/06/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

From the top 25 for 2020, nice and priced for box level entry - great for pairings whether coffee or something ‘stronger’ it is a nice discovery for 2021

Very classy cigar. Smooth throughout and will purchase more. Thanks Neptune!

William R.01/04/2021About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

A very substantial smoke with complex nuances, including chocolate, nuts, and caramel. A top-shelf stick with lots of leather on the finish.

Francis L.12/21/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Wow. Packs a nice punch for a small-ish stick. Great body and flavor.

William J.12/18/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Wow!! All around great smoke! Construction is awesome and the draw is excellent if you haven’t tried I suggest that you go get one today!

Jim A.11/04/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Flawless construction and feels good in the hand. Love the box press. Lots of pepper flavors as usual with Pete Johnson. But by no means a one-dimensional stick. Might mellow out with some time in the humidor, but very complex and enjoyable as-is.

Jeffrey David G.11/03/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

I have burned through a number of the 5 5/8" version, went with the longer profile and realized this is the size that portends best. Immaculate in appearance, high quality perfect roll, tons of bountiful smoke. The flavor has my intrigue.. I know I am tasting the Sancti Spiritus unique flavor in this beauty..and I like it. I am also pleased and impressed by Nicaraguan profile that is my preferred strong composition. The cigar needs a couple of weeks of humidor rest which magnifies the flavor of the fermentation success of the creator. There is a subtle sweetness that clearly enhances the cigar overall. This is an incredible cigar and it places above 90 in my view. Very excellent cigar.. do not smoke it rapidly! Savor this exceptional cigar with your time and let a good ash form before you judge this honey, tremendous cigar with a wide range of varying flavors! Highly exceptional!

Károly F.10/13/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Nice appearance, flawless construction, a plenty of smoke, special taste, I enjoyed it.

Lee E.10/04/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Medium-full bodied with hardwood, cedar, and a bit of pepper

Bon

Dan M.09/16/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This one started a little slow for me but picked up, and turned out to be an amazing smoke. it definately turns into a nubber!

Chris M.09/12/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Wow. This is what aficionados look for. Rich, full bodied, top notch quality and very unique. This is worth buying boxes of without a doubt. Definitely deserves the 95 point rating Cigar Aficionado gave it. Buy with confidence.

Leonardo C.09/11/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Perhaps not the best looking cigar, but all in all flawless: good draw, perfect burn and intense earthy flavor.

Danny C.09/10/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Too good! The La Mission by L'Atelier will be Cigar Aficionado's 2020's Cigar of the Year. You heard it hear first!

Nicholas Q.09/09/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Great cigar with tastes of milk chocolate, cream, vanilla and a touch of pepper. Even burn and a loose draw. Cigar held an ash down to the band.

I bought a box of these because of the Cigar Aficionado rating of 95. Maybe I got a bad box but I think they are awful. My nephew tried to like em but he couldn't either.

Mike B.09/01/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Really good cigar. Flavor and body are on point. Definitely looking forward to the next round.

Subrata B.08/23/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Awesome

Danny C.08/22/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

These are fantastic. Definitely one to have on-hand in your humidor at all times

michael s.08/14/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Now that I have my four boxes I can freely say: If this is not the COTY, then I can’t wait trying a 97 point or higher cigar.

Louis P.08/12/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This is quite a strong cigar. Not for the faint of heart!

John P.08/02/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Best cigar made at this price point. Will be CA cigar of the year 2020. Buy it while you still can

Patrick07/31/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Excellent cigar!

Robert P.07/30/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Dark Mexican wrapper. Great combination of sweat caramel and rich walnut. Spicy hints of licorice come through before the finish of chocolate covered almonds.

NICOLAS P.07/29/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Excellent all the way around. Full bodied but not overpowering, flawless construction. A hearty smoke perfectly suited to Robusto size. 5 stars

Tracy F.07/13/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Very Good smoke another stick recommended by my 1st cousin Doug Ford!!!!

Alejandro M.07/12/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Great cigar!

Michael F.06/22/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Good cigar

Dennis B.06/18/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Best smoke I've had in a very long time. Burn perfect, Draw was effortless and the ash perfect as well. But the main thing was the flavor!

Todd N.06/17/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

A great draw and draw, but this smoke leaves a dry mouth after taste. It's still a good smoke, but I expected more from a Pete Johnson-Pepin Garcia collaboration.

michael E.06/13/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Good smoke

Jeffrey David G.06/12/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Finally bought three for a first try. The unique appearance, construction, and the roll were all perfect. I lose my sense of smell once I light up so the dry presence and that aroma is what I rate at tops, with all aspects. This is clearly a full flavored bold cigar and I discovered a flavor that I have not yet experienced before. The cigar burns slowly for its size! Good! The ash is fine and dusty and it holds well. am sure that the Sancti Spiritus was what surprised me as new and very very good. The outer wrap is the Mexican beauty San Andres and it all comes together to become a thrilling and highly individual work of art. So, I'm hooked, will buy more! I see this fine cigar in the 92 to 95 range. Incredible cigar, just outstanding! Highly recommended for an experienced cigar smoker!

Andrew M.06/07/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Enjoyed. No complaints

Steve M.06/05/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

This is an awesome Cigar. Although this is a relatively new company, they clearly stand tall among their older competitors. Don't pass this one up. It's smooth and flavorful and consistent through out.

ricardo b.06/03/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Great cigar ,recommend it 100%

Theron L.05/10/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

About the only Pete Johnson snoke you can find regularly. Buy,buy,buy!

Guillaume k.04/29/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Full Bodied. A whole lot of smoke. Really complex .

N.W03/04/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

okay flavors..

William E.01/12/2020About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Enjoyed this cigar but found it a little bit dull in the flavour department.

Lance H.10/28/2019About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

A nice, rich, smoking experience. Started off with notes of black pepper, fruit, earth, leather, dark chocolate, n' coffee, but by the middle it had developed a nice fruity bouquet and an oaky pungency reminiscent of a wine and cheese pairing. A really unique experience.

Ozzie H.08/31/2019About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Delicious

kellie j.08/10/2019About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Excellent draw, smooth taste. Pairs well with bourbon. Well constructed. My new fave!

Subrata B.07/13/2019About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Chris M.06/27/2019About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Draw was just horrible. Little flavor but some nice aromatics. Not sure if just a bad stick but I won't be ordering more.

Charles C.04/21/2019About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

OK stick. Very loose draw. Wavy burn and flaky ash that kept splitting down the middle. Flavor was earthy, unsweetened coca power, and cedar that ramped up in the final third.

Alejandro C.04/01/2019About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Amazing!

Ernesto C.12/30/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This was just Ok for me. Great construction and combustion, but a bit bland on the flavor department.

Lin J.11/17/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

nice

Devin C.11/05/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Solid. Padronish lol (excellent quality)

Ronnie J.10/16/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Really enjoyed this one. Full body and strength about a medium plus. lots of flavor.

jim p.09/27/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

little too strong for me

Stewart H.09/14/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

A strong smoke that makes good use of the MSA wrapper. Leather, cedar, espresso lead the way with a complex med-full body

Arturo S.09/03/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Pepper bomb! Good cigar

Joel T.07/21/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Excellent stubby stick; grows to interesting and complex flavors. Not a ton of smoke. Smoked this waiting for my picanha to cook; perfect timing!

David M.06/28/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Very nice cigar. Great taste.

Jon C.04/16/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Very dark and earthy with lots of chocolate/coffee flavor. San Andres wrappers are hit and miss for me and this one was really good andsmoother than most. Overall good burn with just a touch-up or 2 needed.

josh s.03/08/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

thick,chewy smoke and a deep satisfying taste. decent burn time. also one of the best bands ive ever seen. makes the cigar pop.

josh s.03/01/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

great construction, super long burn time. Great with glass of red wine

Alan C.02/08/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

This is an excellent cigar. Yes quite short but packs so much flavour and producing so much smoke. Had one on New years eve and was amazing!

Kevin Link01/31/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

I've been looking for a good everyday robusto for the cold winter. I think I've found it in this cigar. Construction is damn close to perfection and was also my first Pete johnson blend. Now I need to try some tatuajes and other latliers!

Stewart H.01/24/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

A fabulous smoke that's worth more than its price tag.

Reynaldo L.01/10/2018About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Great cigar. I was quite surprised.

Steve B.12/19/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

A complex smoke. Black pepper, cassis, leather, cedar, anise, molasses, red bell pepper, dark chocolate. Consistent throughout. But because of a closed draw It fetches less marks

theodore r.11/20/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

My favorite everyday cigar.

Dayron V.08/10/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Unique taste, you either love it or hate it. Not a good blend to age.

Pat04/06/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

I'd have to say this was one of the stronger cigars I've ever had. Burn was a little uneven, but aside from that no major complaints.

James E.04/05/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

With deep, earthy flavor, this well-constructed box press burns at a stately pace. Unlit, it has a slightly sweet, intoxicating richness that invites the flame. It doesn't disappoint. Wonderful cigar!

Michael B.04/05/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

These La Mission cigars are hard to come by in many markets. I understand why they are on backorder. Very good blend and great full flavor.

Michael B.04/05/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

I was amazed how good this cigar draws and how much smoke I got. Very rare in my area and the price was discounted below the norm. I would recommend a 5 pack for starters. Nice blend.

Al C.04/03/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

My favorite cigar with wine pairings. Robust full flavor profile with a sweet earthy wrapper with a touch of dark chocolate. A slight hint of pepper on retrohale only. as you progress thru this beauty, the earthiness is still there but, you pick up some spicy meat like intensity. Not overwhelming, just noticeable. You grab some nuttiness towards the end. the interesting thing with this cigar is that you pick up so much more with a slight retrohale once in a while. Trust me, if you like pairing wine with your cigars, you will be denying yourself a lot if you don't grab a fiver at least of these precious little gems. It's smoothness and transition tells me it smokes like a medium / full but, she can knock you around just a bit. Call it rough love.

Greg C.03/31/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

Great cigar and value

Ibrahim M.03/21/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Amazing

Luz H.03/16/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

This is a great stick by the blending team behind L' Atelier cigars which includes well known cigar superstar Pete Johnson (famous for his Tatuaje cigars), his brother K.C., and his 2 friends Dan Welsh and Sean Johnson. These guys say they were inspired by robust wines when coming up with this intense cigar, which is being handmade by Pepin Garcia and his family in Esteli, Nicaragua. The bold flavor of this cigar comes from the rare Sancti Spiritus tobacco in the filler, wrapped with a Nicaraguan binder and one of my favorite cigar wrappers, the earthy San Andres Mexican leaf which imparts the smoke with chocolatey goodness. As with most of My Father cigars, the stick starts peppery then mellows out quickly to an earthy flavor. Lovely cigar that goes very well with an aged dark rum.

Nicholas T.03/16/2017About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Delicious cigar, I will definitely order this one again!

Daniel N.11/26/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

An ok cigar.

Jorge O.11/22/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

A very enjoyable cigar.

Charles M.10/15/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Bought at the recommendation of a friend. Love it. Great aroma and flavor. Even burn and has become one of my favorite smoke. One of my go-to's

Charles H. J.07/25/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

I have smoked several of the L'Atelier cigars and was looking forward to this smoke...it did not disappoint. As expected with any Pete Johnson creation this is a special smoke, medium to full bodied with a nice aroma and solid ash, it burned consistent throughout the smoke. For the price I highly recommend this cigar.

Rolando R.07/21/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

A different flavor profile than I was expecting. A dark, maduro-type cigar. Great draw and full-bodied flavor. Burned consistently.

Richard W.07/04/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Good smoke. East draw. Even burn

Glen A.06/23/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Lovely appearance, not as great taste, but still a really nice smoke if you like earthy cigars

Grant H.06/04/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Nice smoke. Enjoyed it. You might too. . .

chris j.05/13/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Probably the best tasting cigar for the best cigar I have ever had. It taste like its a expensive cigar.

Shelly K.02/24/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

I have been wanting to try this cigar for a long time-- big Pete Johnson fan! This cigar is a beautiful box pressed veiny rustic looking smoke with a San Andrés wrapper, Nicaraguan tobacco. This line was inspired by a French winery known for full bodied wines-- hence this cigar to match perfectly. Love the pigtail top! The first third starts off with notes of pepper, chocolate, coffee and a bit of sweetness. Creaminess pops in at the second third along with some fruity notes. There is a huge array of different notes going on. Cedar also becomes very noticeable. This cigar has a great deal of complexity in the second third into the final third. Very good balance! Starts off med bodied and ends up becoming full bodied. Into the last third , notes of chocolate, spice, coffee and almost a toasty note is apparent. Great cigar, complex, keeps you wanting more! Construction is perfect-- well worth the price.

Michael F.01/29/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Excellent full body smoke, one of the better ones I've smoke recently.

Ozzie H.01/28/2016About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Full body, full flavor

Steve E.10/16/2015About: La Mission L'atelier 1989 5"5/8 * 54

I love this new cigar from L'Atelier. the flavors and construction impressed me from the start. I believe this will become one of my new favorites.

Harold G.10/05/2015About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

Medium Bodied, excellent construction, complex flavor with notes of plums, floral and leather, clean cocoa finish, great 45 minute smoke.

Jeffrey E.09/21/2015About: La Mission L'atelier 1959 4"3/4 * 52

One of the top cigars of 2015 as far as I'm concerned! A must try!

jeffrey p.09/08/2015About: La Mission L'atelier 2009 6"1/2 * 56

Nothing special about the one I tested.
