My Father Cigars La Opulencia Toro

Description

My Father have won Cigar of the Year two times; this cigar was #2 in 2018 with a rating of 95. The My Father La Opulencia blend is a marriage of two opulent tobaccos with splendid provenance—Mexican and Nicaraguan. The wrapper is a dark Mexican San Andrés that the company calls Rosado Oscuro. There are two Nicaraguan binders underneath, one Corojo and one Criollo, both of which bolster the body of the cigar. And then there’s the filler, a combination of Cuban seed tobaccos grown by the Garcia family, owners and makers of the My Father brand.

The tobaccos play off each other in interesting ways. The combustion is perfect, the draw offering earthy underpinnings of chocolate and cocoa with each puff, balanced by a mid-palate oakiness and sweeter, subtle top notes. And this cigar evolves, getting stronger incrementally as the flavours gradually gain intensity. Size: 6 x 54 Box Pressed. Note: these are now beginning to ship in plain packaging.
