The My Father cigars company puts out exceptional cigars. Today I will be examining another offering from the company with a La Flor De Las Antillas Review. This is a regular production cigar, and it represents a go to every day smoke. Let’s see what its characteristics are, and if it justifies its popularity.

Prelight

The first thing to note, the cigar has a spongy soft feel but it is consistent. Lots of medium and large veins, visible seams. The cap is pretty well done, I don’t expect any issues from it. The foot puts off flavors of black pepper and leather. The pre-light draw reveals red and black pepper, alongside a leather and raisin note. Clean-cut, just a little bit of loose tobacco. Let’s get this lit up and see what it has to offer.

1/3

Primary flavors are leather on the front with an oak undertone and a red and black pepper finish. The black pepper is dominant on the finish. Thick creamy smoke, great mouth feel and lots of smoke production. Medium body, I see it reaching medium to full soon. Low strength, good burn line and a tight compact ash currently. As the first third comes to an end, the pepper finish is up. And leather controls the front of the profile with a woodsy pine under note.

2/3

Still not quite to medium-full body, strength remains at a low. Leather continues to control the front, and black pepper is up on the finish. The pine has diminished, as has the red pepper. Still wonderfully thick smoke production, great burn line. Great construction overall but not much diversion from traditional flavors. As the second third reaches the end, the red pepper is back up on the finish over the black pepper. This is recognized by the appearance of the mouth tingle. Cream has bled into the front alongside the leather producing a wonderful mix of flavors.

3/3

At the start of the last third, the leather has retreated on the front. Pepper remains dominant throughout the center of the profile. And there is a cashew note coming up on the finish, it’s a nice transition. Strength has come up to a low to medium. Body has finally reached medium to full, the burn line is still perfect. As I reached the nub the profile held constant, this was a stable and well-made cigar. I can absolutely see why some people smoke these very often.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 25 minutes

Conclusion: 85

Good flavors for an everyday cigars, the leather really shines though in this profile. Great construction, as expected from the My Father cigar factory. Good price point for this level of a cigar. Nothing extremely special, but a solid smoke for relaxing afternoon.
