MY FATHER CIGARS @MyFatherDPG

Seems like apps like Cigar Monster (Iphone) or Famous Smoke magazine are always reppin My Father cigars!  I see them in reviews and publications getting high marks!  The Mad Men finally got to me because I finally decided to get on the My Father wagon and get me a stick to try!  I picked this one up at Binny’s around 3 months ago!  If you read enough of my posts then you know I’m not a big fan of cigars from Nicaragua…probably because I’m a pussy!  My Father is a Nicaraguan cigar so I was taking a chance dropping a 10 spot on a cigar with tobacco I’m generally not a huge fan of!  Anyways I bought a My Father Robusto Natural and it was…

My father cigars were created by Jaime Garcia, son of renowned Tabaquero Don “Pepin” Garcia at Jaime’s My Father factory in Esteli Nicaragua.  These full-bodied beauties are handcrafted using a blend of Nicaraguan longfillers and a hybrid Ecuadorian Habano Rosado/Criollo wrapper.  The smoke’s initial crack of pepper rounds out to reveal a complex brew of spice, wood, coffee, and a kiss of caramelized sweetness.  If you thought his father made great cigars, wait till you try Jaime’s…it’s a must smoke!

FUCKING AMAZING CIGAR!  I thought this may have been the best Nicaraguan cigar I’ve had and I just may be changing my tune on Nicaraguan cigars!  The cut was true and the dry-draw of this cigar was excellent!  It was a flavor monster as well!  The billing above was spot on.  I got a blast of black pepper right of the bat which I think is common with most Nicaraguan cigars!  About an inch it changed to a woody flavor with spicy undertones.  The middle to the last part of the cigar was creamy –smooth with caramel notes and some more spice!  This indeed was a complex cigar but most important it was damn good!  I liked this as much as the Nat Sherman No. 2 I had a few weeks back and it was one of the best smokes I’ve had all year including Cubans!  I highly recommend this cigar to anyone along with eh Nat Sherman No. 2!  I’d definitely put a few more of the My Fathers in the Ark!
