Don Pepin Garcia is not only a master in the world of cigars, he is the master. And in his honor, his son Jamie (not such a slouch himself) has created a masterful cigar in the My Father.
Upon purchasing the stick, it is clear from the beginning that this is going to be a momentous event. The cigar comes wrapped in a cedar sleeve to insure freshness, and the cigar band itself is a work of art. Once the sleeve is removed, the cigar glows with a reddish brown color and oily sheen. As I toasted the foot of the cigar, I was wrapped in the warm aroma released, and found myself excited to begin smoking.
The draw on this cigar is so smooth it felt as though I was sucking on a straw. The flavors of wood and leather are blended splendidly in the smoke, and rest wonderfully upon the tongue and cheek with a slight pepper in the mix. The silky smoke was plentiful, and left me in a state of bliss.
During the transition from the second 3rd to the final 3rd, there was a brief flavor of honey, so feint that I nearly missed it's presence. The smoke developed into a glorious end with a slight nut flavor, and left me very satisfied. My only complaint is that it could not last forever.
The cigar cost around $10 retail, and is worth every penny.
