My Father Cigars Flor de las Antillas Sun Grown in Review
WRAPPER: Nicaraguan Sun Grown
BINDER: Nicaraguan
FILLER: Nicaraguan
FORMAT: Robusto
ORIGIN: Nicaragua (My Father Cigars S.A.)
INTENSITY: Medium-full
NOTES:
Leathery oils | Buttery cedar | Earthen herbaceousness
Spiced creaminess delivered in a savory manner, braced by plush cedar. Pepper-spice notes of white peppercorn, clove, ginger. The cream takes on more of a leathery oiliness via evolution. Cedar flexes in balance with the profile. Sweetness comes thru as molasses, light brown sugar. Earthen underbelly is the soil beneath a cedar tree, its dropped needles composting in the shade.
A powerful-ish profile expressed subtly. Delineated & balanced well. Nicely rounded and smoothly-so but not complex per se. Nuanced moderately. Smoke grows in heft of supple texture into a long rich kindness of finish. At mid-point, some balanced pale nuttiness is a neat addition. Nothing extraordinary but presented in a manner resembling a reasonable facsimile of perfection.
Performance-wise, the burn does wobble-some thru-out. The packing is evenly placed but a tick squishy. Draws fine & dandy. More than moderate smoke out-put yields sweet leather woody contemplative if not meditative aromas. Ash builds just shy of an inch. Pacing is slowish but not tedious. Really a ::: very ::: nice smoke however lacking it may be in a certain je ne sais quoi.
