My Father El Centurion - Cigar Review

My Father El Centurion
5 3/4 x 50 Robusto
NOTES:
Tightly wrapped, somewhat tight a' draw. A spicy (cumin, nutmeg, cinnamon) sweet (car-a-mel sweetened cream) powerhouse with subtle nuances. Notes of every pepper braced by hardwood/cedar rising up from middlings. Barnyard under-belly wrapped in leather, seeped in its oils. Twixt even burnings is the need for two light re-touches.

FINAL GRADE: A-
A 90-100 B 80-89 C 70-79 D 60-69 F 0-59

WRAPPER: Nicaraguan Sun Grown Criollo 98
BINDER: Nicaragua
FILLER: Nicaraguan Corojo 99/Criollo 98

STRENGTH: Full
ORIGIN: Nicaraguan
IN ADDITION:
From the My Father site:
"Back in 2007, the Company released El Centurion as limited edition just in 3 sizes. At the time, only 850 boxes of each size were made. Many of our supporters have asked for us to bring back the cigar that left them waiting more. El Centurion is coming back in four sizes. It consists of all Nicaraguan Tobacco with the filler composed of Criollo, Corojo Habano, and Sancti Spiritus; together they give this classic a 3/4 to Full Body strength. The wrapper is a Sun Grown Criollo 98. The packaging is really classic and stylish, according to brand name and come in Boxes of 20 cigars as a regular production."

2007? I imagine I'm the first reviewer to tackle this 'un. Hey! The majority of kidding mostly aside gentlepersons, do give a listen as I review this stick whilst too reviewing GGG vs Canelo and the Cleveland Indians win-streak in "Peeing in the Fridge" ...
