This 5-stick sampler packs the punch of My Father's iconic Toro format (6"x50) into a $33.75 exploratory set. Five distinct blends from the Garcia family portfolio let you tour Nicaraguan tobacco's full spectrum - from Connecticut Broadleaf sweetness to H-2K-CT hybrid innovation.
The Connecticut Broadleaf-wrapped La Duena opens with cocoa powder dryness while the Habano Rosado-clad Vegas Cubanas throws earthy leather immediately. Expect early pepper spikes across all blends - El Centurion's hybrid wrapper delivers white pepper zing contrasting Flor de Las Antillas Maduro's sweeter cinnamon touch.
My Father Original's Ecuadorian Habano shifts to coffee bean bitterness balancing cedar sweetness. Construction shines here - all samples hold 1.5+ inch ash without canoeing. Watch the Flor de Las Antillas' burn rate though - its Maduro wrapper sometimes needs touch-ups.
Nicaraguan strength comes roaring in The Judge's closing act - molasses-thick smoke with espresso grounds intensity. La Duena develops baking spices while El Centurion's creaminess fights through pepper build-up. Retrohales get fiery - pair with sweetened coffee.
Rolled in Estelí using tri-state Nicaraguan tobaccos: Jalapa's sweet viso leaves, Estelí's ligero for power, and Condega's earthy seco. The Garcia family's factory floor supervision ensures no stemmy draws - just dense smoke output from expertly packed bundles.
This sampler works best for intermediate smokers ready to compare wrapper impacts on Nicaraguan cores. Newbies might drown in the pepper storm - keep sweet drinks handy. Box splits recommended to experience all blends fresh.
