My Father
Flor De Las Antillas Maduro Toro (6.0"x52)
Flawless appearance. Cheap cutter provided a perfect slice through the cap with no stragglers or tearing. Draw at first seemed a touch easy for my liking, until I realized how perfectly it actually allowed me to breathe through my nose, without being overly easy to draw. Flavor was fairly subtle from start to finish, with some leathery tones, something akin to a "hay" reference I had read about (that I assumed would be a bad thing, but somehow it was pleasant), and a bit of nuttiness here and there. The burn was nice and slow, with gorgeous ash that held amazingly firm. I only removed ash for the experience of practicing my technique of rotating the stick in a circular fashion against an edge, just so I could enjoy developing a new inch or so of fresh ash. There was zero harshness to the flavor until the very end, which came only too soon. I removed the wrapper hoping to run this bad boy right to my fingers, but it was time to call it about half way through where the main wrapper (the one with the brand label on it) would have been. Amazing smoke, and to me, a tremendous experience for the price.
