My Father Flor de las Antillas Corona Maduro
The Flor de las Antillas Corona Maduro is the most refined and intensely flavorful model in the series. A tribute from the Garcia family to Cuban tradition, this cigar retains the "elegant balance" of the regular version while infusing a deeper sweetness through the use of a darker Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper. The Corona size, with its relatively thin ring gauge, significantly enhances the wrapper's presence in the overall composition, making it a work of art designed for cigar smokers seeking a delicate interplay of layers and intense aromas.

Flavor Ladder
Initial impressions: Upon ignition, the 46 ring gauge immediately creates a cohesive effect. Unlike the slower build-up of larger ring gauge models, the Corona directly brings out the characteristic brown sugar and espresso aromas of the Maduro wrapper. The signature black pepper spiciness is enveloped by a warm, oily texture, presenting a magnificent medium to full-bodied opening. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, the clarity of flavor reaches its peak. Aromas of dark cocoa, roasted nuts, and leather layer upon layer. Thanks to the box-pressed process, the smoke maintains an amazing coolness within its compact structure, allowing the subtle fruity sweetness of aged cherries in the mid-section to linger on the tongue. Finish: The ending exhibits excellent tension. The rich cedarwood aroma intertwines with the deep tobacco flavor, and the sweetness from Maduro fermentation persists until the very last inch. Even at the very end, the flavor remains remarkably pure, without any tarry harshness, leaving an elegant mineral aftertaste.
Recommendation reason
- A “wrap-driven” sensory experience: In the Corona ring gauge, the wrapper’s influence on flavor is significantly increased. This cigar is the perfect vehicle to experience the allure of the Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper, offering a more aggressive yet sweeter taste than the Toro size.
- The structural aesthetics of square pressing: My Father insists on a slight square pressing process for this series, which not only makes the Corona comfortable to hold in the hand, but also optimizes airflow, ensuring that every puff delivers the most concentrated aroma output.
- A high-frequency everyday delight: with a smoking time of approximately 45-55 minutes, it is the ideal choice for seasoned cigar aficionados seeking high-quality comfort during busy periods. It proves that even in its small size, the Garcia family can still perfectly balance the three elements of "power, balance, and sweetness".
My Father Flor de las Antillas Corona Maduro is a concise yet profound sensory poem. Its compact form carries the most intense vows of the land, precisely capturing the soul of Nicaraguan Maduro tobacco with every breath.
