I'm finally uploading my review for the Flor de las Antillas that I smoked on November 22, 2012 (Turkey Day). I'd already had 3 or 4 of them prior to the review, so I knew that I enjoyed them. These were presented to me by the manager of my favorite B&M as a great smoke with a reasonable price tag, put out by the My Father Cigar Co. It's too bad that I hadn't uploaded this review sooner, seeing as now it (in toro size) claims the #1 spot on the Cigar Aficionado Top 25 list for 2012.
I see a double cap on top of this moderately firm stick. I gave it a punch cut, and a quick toasting of the foot with my torch.
1/3: Flavors of buttered rye toast and leather. Not your typical MF cigar.
2/3: Medium strength and body. A slight dryness is present, but not much. I expect that this cigar would be complimented very nicely with a cup of good coffee or espresso. Near the end of the 2nd third, I pick up some floral notes.
3/3: As can be expected from a box-pressed cigar, the burn was not razor sharp, however besides that, there were no burn issues to be had. No relights is a good thing in my book.
I find this cigar to be relatively consistent, which is a departure from the regular My Father line. This is a good smoke, I like the size, and the price is certainly fair. I'll be smoking more of these for sure.
