My Father Flor de las Antillas Toro Gordo
The Flor de las Antillas Toro Gordo is the largest model in the series. Designed for cigar aficionados seeking a long finish and exceptionally high smoke density, it packs the classic blend that won the annual championship into a massive 60 ring gauge. Due to the increased ring gauge, this cigar accommodates more aged filler tobacco from the García family estate, allowing the signature sun-grown wrapper flavor to exhibit a more robust and mellow character than the standard size, supported by a rich tobacco aroma.

Flavor Ladder
Initially: Upon ignition, the extremely wide draw resistance provided by the 60 ring gauge delivers an exceptionally rich amount of smoke. The opening notes are mild white pepper, cedarwood, and the characteristic sweet grain aroma of sun-dried tobacco. Due to its large size, the initial warm-up is very slow, resulting in a very smooth flavor profile and a solid medium-bodied character. Mid-section: Entering the mid-section, the flavor profile steadily builds with each passing smoke. The box-pressed process effectively alleviates the bite pressure that might occur with larger ring gauge models. At this stage, rich roasted nuts, cream, and subtle floral notes intertwine within the thick smoke. Compared to the slimmer models, the Toro Gordo's mid-section is more mellow, presenting a rounded texture that is "skillfully understated." Finish: The smoke exhibits impressive endurance. Leather, hay, and subtle leather notes gradually intensify, while maintaining an excellent coolness throughout. Even after prolonged smoking, the final flavor remains clear and unclouded, leaving a lingering woody aftertaste with hints of cinnamon.
