My Father Flor de las Antillas Torpedo Maduro
Flor de las Antillas is a tribute from the García family to Cuba—the greatest jewel of the Antilles. Unlike the regular version that won the championship, this Maduro version uses a deep-colored, long-fermented Ecuadorian Habano Maduro wrapper. The Torpedo specification combines a pointed tip with a box-pressed process. This complex construction not only enhances the visual power but also concentrates the smoke through physical compression, giving this cigar, which is known for its elegance, a more rugged and profound character.

Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: Thanks to the Maduro wrapper, the opening reveals a rich sweetness of brown sugar and aromas of dried fruit. The pointed torpedo design allows the first puff of smoke to precisely hit the taste buds. Although it has a typical García-style peppery feel, it is enveloped by a rich oiliness, presenting a medium to full-bodied start. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, the depth of flavor is further explored. The aromas of dark roast coffee, cocoa powder, and leather are exceptionally robust under the square press structure. Unlike the freshness of the regular version, the Maduro version here reveals more earthy aromas and the sweetness of mature tobacco, with a velvety smooth texture. Finish: The power steadily returns at the end. A rich blend of cedarwood and spices intertwines, perfectly complemented by the subtle bitterness of dark chocolate from the Maduro wrapper. Thanks to the torpedo-shaped tip, the aroma is well-concentrated, resulting in a lingering finish with a delightfully layered and complex tobacco sweetness and mineral notes.
