Let's talk about the My Father Cedros Deluxe Cervantes - a 6.5"x44 parejo that'll set you back $209.07 for a box of 23. This Nicaraguan puro wears an oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper that practically glows under proper humidification. Triple caps and expert rolling promise consistency, though at this price point, you'd expect nothing less from the Garcia family.
The cold draw serves cedar shavings and brown sugar. Initial puffs deliver toasted cashews with an espresso backbone. Smoke output feels moderate - enough to satisfy but won't fog up your patio. Burn line stays sharp, ash holding firm for about 1.5 inches before dropping.
At the halfway mark, the nicotine starts whispering warnings. Creamy texture emerges, blending with baking spices. Retrohale brings white pepper zing without the harshness. Watch for occasional canoeing if you rush the puffing rhythm.
Last third amps up the cedar intensity. Dark chocolate notes surface as the smoke turns slightly dry. Tongue tingle becomes noticeable, paired with mild nicotine headrush. Smart to nub it before the 1-inch mark to avoid bitterness.
Grown in Nicaragua's Estelí valleys and wrapped in Ecuadorian Habano leaf, this blend bridges Cuban tradition with New World vigor. The Garcia family's Estelí factory applies triple caps with surgical precision - overkill for some, but heaven for construction nerds.
