My Father La Promesa Toro

My Father La Promesa Toro

La Promesa is the most moving narrative in the García family cigar line. This series embodies the solemn promise made by Don Pepin García Sr. when he left Cuba: he pledged to his family to prove themselves in new lands and restore the family's glory in the tobacco world. The Toro model is the mainstay of this series, wrapped in an exquisitely crafted Ecuadorian Habano Rosado Oscuro wrapper, encasing top-quality tobacco leaves grown on the García family's private farm. It is not just a cigar, but a fulfillment of a family vow made over two decades ago.

Flavor Ladder

Initial impression: The first impression after lighting is an extremely elegant smoothness. Unlike the spicy opening of some of the brand's collections, La Promesa Toro opens with a soft peppery note accompanied by rich cream and oak aromas, showcasing the deep sweetness unique to the Habano Rosado Oscuro wrapper. Mid-section: As we move into the mid-section, the complexity of the flavors increases dramatically. Classic Nicaraguan leather notes intertwine with aromas of roasted nuts and brown sugar. Thanks to the use of aged tobacco carefully selected by the Garcia family, the palate presents a silky texture, maintaining a perfectly balanced medium-to-full body. Finish: The finish reveals a captivating aroma of espresso, cinnamon, and subtle floral notes. The stable burn of 52 ring gauge ensures the purity of the flavor, maintaining excellent balance even at the very end, with a lingering woody sweetness in the aftertaste.

Recommendation reason

• The power and elegance of “commitment”: La Promesa pursues a “power in balance” in its blending. It retains the iconic framework of My Father, but leans more towards elegance and breadth of aroma in the selection of outer tobacco leaves, making it a highly artistic series in the brand.
• The pinnacle of their own farm: The filler tobacco used in this series comes entirely from the García family's own farm in Nicaragua. Through a completely independent production model, Pepin the Elder ensures that every single leaf meets the stringent standards he set when he left Cuba.
• A frequent recipient of high ratings: La Promesa Toro received an exceptionally high score of 94 points from Cigar Aficionado . It is widely recognized as one of the brand's most representative creations of "modern Nicaraguan style," with impeccable structure and flavor evolution.

My Father La Promesa Toro is a flowing family epic, a testament to an enduring commitment to excellence, perseverance, and glory, delivered with composure and rich flavor.
