Name: My Father Cigar – La Promesa
Size: Varies
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
My Father is a brand that I discovered in the last couple of years and have grown to enjoy and become a default purchase when I am looking for a stick. The La Promesa series is identified by the pink/orange wrapper. The cigar is a medium smoke with a nutty and light chocolate flavor. It has a nice draw with an even burn and lasted about 45 minutes.
I bullet cut the cigar and it started off a little dry tasting but then it went away. I think this was because my humidor was under 72% RH. The outdoor temperature was 80F with slightly high humidity which I think helped cigar. The draw was smooth and even, and appeared to be well wrapped.
Other La Promesa’s to sample: Petite 4.5 x 50, Corona Gorda 5.5 x 48, Robusto Grande 5.5 x 54, Toro 6 x 52, and Lancero 7.5 x 38.
Priced around $12-15 per cigar and worth the price for the quality.
If you like it, drink it (or smoke it)! – Christopher
