This chunky 6x60 stick from My Father Cigars brings Connecticut elegance to Nicaraguan muscle. At $227.70 per box of 23, it's an approachable giant with triple caps that showcase Pepin Garcia's obsession with craftsmanship. The golden Ecuadorian wrapper hides a blend of Nicaraguan Corojo binder and Habano/Criollo fillers - surprisingly mellow for a 60-ring monster.
Buttery opener with baking parchment sweetness. Minimal pepper, just cashew creaminess and cedar shavings. Draws like a milkshake through that wide gauge - almost too easy for a My Father blend.
Nicaraguan roots show through cinnamon toast and roasted coffee beans. Surprising transition: the Connecticut wrapper tempers the spice but lets earthy bass notes vibrate. Ash holds strong despite the fat ring.
Leathery kick arrives at the band point. Not heavy, just enough espresso bitterness to balance the sweet core. Watch the nicotine - it creeps up on you past the halfway mark despite the mild rating.
Morning coffee pairings or golf course breaks. Newbies dig the smooth entry; veterans appreciate the hidden depth. Just don't expect typical My Father pepper bombs - this Connecticut plays a different game.
