La Antiguedad is only the second line of box-pressed cigars that My Father Cigars have made. The first was the Flor de las Antillas - a phenomenal cigar to add to your list. La Antiguedad, meaning "The Antiquity," is yet another celebration of the Garcia's Cuban heritage. This cigar features a double binder, one being Criollo and the other a Corojo, Nicaraguan tobacco, and is covered by an Ecuadorian Habano Rosado Oscuro wrapper. Let's see what we get out of this stick.
1/3 - As you light the cigar up, the first thing I noticed was a very creamy coffee flavor mixed with some leather notes. On the finish, I'm getting a very nice hint of cocoa. A great flavor combination to start any cigar. The draw is a little tight, so you kind of have to work at it. The burn is even as can be, and it's producing only a little smoke.
2/3 - Heading to the halfway point, hints of nut are coming into play. A peanut flavor to be exact. The finish at this point has gotten rid of some of the cocoa and has gone strictly to hints of leather and earth. A smooth transition in my opinion. Still having a tough draw through this point, but the burn has remained nice and even, and the smoke output is relatively the same.
3/3 - Coming up on the end of the cigar, the earthy flavors have become dominant mixed with notes of black pepper. On the finish, the sweet cocoa has come back which really makes the last few puffs of this cigar pleasant. Overall, the flavor profile is enough to make the tough draw bearable. A superb cigar from My Father Cigars.
