My Father La Antiguedad Review

La Antiguedad TAA
Made by: My Father
Country: Nicaraguan Puro
Vitola: Toro 6 by 50

This My Father La Antiguedad review will focus on the TAA exclusive size 6 inches by 50 ring gauge. At first glance this cigar is well constructed and aesthetically pleasing. As would be expected from a cigar made exclusively for the TAA convention. The filler, binder, and wrapper of this cigar are all Nicaraguan classifying it as a Nicaraguan Puro.

Prelight

I am getting a sweet woodsy note on the foot of the My Father La Antiguedad. There is a nicely applied triple cap, the cigar is box pressed and to the touch, feels evenly packed. The prelight draw reveals an oakier note and there is slight resistance on the draw.

1/3

Cedar is forward on the draw, however the oak is detectable on the finish which is currently lasting until the next draw. There is also a subtle pepper that is mixed in with the oak on the finish. Once retrohaled the pepper note was noticeable, it is very faint at the moment. The cedar is rising as I move through the first third. The oak is still noticeable with the slight tinge of pepper on the finish. Medium bodied and no strength detectable at this point.

2/3

The primary note of this cigar is the cedar, and the oaky pepper finish remains as the 2nd third starts. As I move through this third black pepper starts to come up and deep leather replaces the oaky finish. At this point the cedar has died down. The burn speed is slowing down in the second third. The burn line has been solid throughout the cigar.

3/3

The cedar came back up as the last third began, and the leather note diminished. The more noticeable black pepper stayed. The body is still at a medium. And strength is at a low at the most. This is making a great midday smoke. This flavor profile held strong till the nub. The cigar stayed at medium body and low strength throughout the end of the final third.

Smoke Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Conclusion: 89

This would make a great cigar if your just enjoying yourself and looking for something that will keep your attention. The woodsy notes and subtle transitions made me feel like I was up in the mountains relaxing. For the cigar smoker that prefers cigars on the lighter side, or the full body smoker looking for a intriguing change this would be perfect. I will definitely be revisiting this one soon. Medium bodied all the way through with low strength.
