This little firecracker from My Father Cigars packs Nicaraguan charm into a 4.5"x50 box-pressed format. At $7.83 per stick (box of 20 for $156.60), it's your ticket to medium-full intensity with that signature maduro sweetness. The Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper glistens like a well-oiled baseball mitt - exactly what you want after 60+ days of humidor rest.
First Third: Instant Nicaraguan pepper slap that mellows into dark chocolate shavings. The draw's tight like a new Cuban - needs careful massaging. Retrohale brings espresso grounds and leather conditioner.
Middle Third: Surprise cedar note cuts through the sweet tar buildup. Watch for tunneling if you're rushing. Perfect pairing with cold brew coffee to balance the earthiness.
Final Third: Cocoa powder and cinnamon collide in the home stretch. Stash your cutter - this nub burns hot at 42-minute mark. Less nicotine kick than the original Flor de las Antillas.
Rolled in Estelí under 70% humidity using San Andrés valley maduro leaves. The double fermentation gives that glossy sheen - 6 months in pilones vs 3 months for regular wrappers. Binders from Jalapa region add honey undertones missing in other My Father blends.
