Let's cut straight to the chase - the My Father No 5 Toro isn't your average Nicaraguan smoke. Wrapped in that signature oily Ecuador Habano leaf, this 6x56 box-pressed beauty packs medium-full strength perfect for seasoned smokers. Jaime Garcia's tribute to his blending legend father shows in every triple-capped stick from Esteli's finest rollers.
First Third: Immediate cedar kick with toasted almond undertones. Creamy smoke texture, tight ash holds over 1.5". Watch that box-pressed construction - needs frequent ash taps.
Mid-Session: Espresso beans and baking spices (cinnamon dominant) emerge. Draw stays perfect, but nicotine builds quicker than typical Nicaraguans. Pair with espresso or dark rum.
Final Stretch: Earthy transition with damp leather notes. Last inch gets peppery - recommended to stop at 1" nub unless you're chasing the buzz.
Store at 65% RH max - that oily wrapper tends to tighten up in higher humidity. Drybox for 4hrs before smoking if kept in typical 69% environments. Box purchase recommended for consistent aging potential.
