This Nicaraguan puro from My Father Cigars comes box-pressed in 23-count bundles, sporting a 5⅝" x 46 parejo shape that fits neatly between robusto and corona sizes. At around $209 per box, it delivers medium-full intensity with the Garcia family's signature craftsmanship - think triple caps and oil-glistening Ecuador Habano wrappers. The cedar sleeve adds old-world charm to what's essentially Pepin Garcia's love letter in tobacco form.
The initial puffs burst with baking spices - cinnamon toast crunch meets black pepper edge. Earthy undertones emerge through cedar plank aromas, while the draw produces medium smoke volume. Watch for slight tunneling if humidity exceeds 65%.
Nicaraguan filler shows its teeth with leather-bound book musk and dark cocoa bitterness. Retrohale reveals hazelnut nuances, though newbies might find the nicotine buildup requires slower pacing. Ash holds solid inch-long segments.
Mineral notes surface alongside charred espresso beans. Tar accumulates near nub territory - recommended stop point at 1.5" remains. Lingering aftertaste combines roasted cashews with faint anise, demanding pairing with sweetened black coffee.
