Father's Day is America's 13th favorite holiday. Thirteenth. Behind Halloween. Behind Labor Day. Behind New Year's Eve AND New Year's Day, which honestly shouldn't even count as two separate holidays. It has a 67% approval rating, which means a third of the country actively does not approve of Father's Day. And this year it's not even the biggest thing happening in June. The country is turning 250, there's a UFC cage match on the White House lawn, and somewhere in the middle of all that, dad is expected to act surprised when he opens a gift he picked out, paid for, and wrapped himself.

Tonight we're giving Father's Day the celebration it deserves. Which is to say, a moderate one. We're featuring My Father Cigars because the name writes itself and because the Garcia family has built one of the most respected lineups in the industry. We'll walk through the My Father portfolio, talk about which ones belong in a Father's Day gift, and break down what makes this brand one of the few that every cigar enthusiast should have in their humidor. We'll also take a hard look at the holiday ranking list because there are some serious questions that need to be answered. How is Easter only 65%? Who are the people who don't approve of Thanksgiving?
