My Father La Gran Oferta Toro
La Gran Oferta (Spanish for "great dedication") is a highly artistic and uniquely flavorful series within the My Father brand. Its name and exquisite packaging design are inspired by a century-old Cuban brand. This Toro model features a deep, slightly reddish Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper, paired with Nicaraguan filler leaves, a source of pride for the Garcia Family. It strikes a delicate balance between power and subtle aroma, a sincere tribute to tobacco history and a testament to the Garcia Family's extensive blending capabilities.

Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: Upon lighting, the Habano Rosado wrapper instantly releases its signature black pepper spiciness, but this is quickly neutralized by a captivating floral and nutty sweetness. Unlike the assertive "Judge" series, La Gran Oferta opens with a medium-bodied elegance, with exceptionally lively smoke. Mid-course: Entering the mid-course phase, the flavor evolution is highly logical. Rich aromas of chocolate, cinnamon, and cream gradually take over, accompanied by a subtle sweet and sour orange peel note. Thanks to the Toro model's balanced proportions and excellent vapor temperature control, these subtle aromas can layer upon layer, showcasing remarkable complexity. Finish: A steady return of power is revealed at the end. Cedarwood, leather, and a deeper tobacco aroma intertwine. Even towards the end, thanks to the perfect fit between the wrapper and filler, the smoke remains smooth and refreshing, with a lingering woody sweetness and a subtle spice note, leaving a delightful aftertaste.
Recommendation reason
- A flavor variation with the Rosado wrapper: Compared to the common sun-dried or Maduro wrappers, the Habano Rosado wrapper used in this cigar gives it a unique reddish-brown hue and a more dynamic sweet-spicy ratio. It's a must-try for cigar aficionados seeking the "refined side" of Nicaraguan cigars.
- A feast for both the eyes and the palate: the highly realistic Cuban vintage art on the packaging makes it easily recognizable in any cigar box. This respect for tradition is not only reflected in its appearance, but also in its meticulous, balanced, and Cuban-inspired blending style.
- An ideal choice for advanced citrus enthusiasts: While La Gran Oferta may not be as robust as Le Bijou 1922, its aroma transitions and evolution are more intriguing. It's the perfect tool for enhancing taste perception as you move from "beginner" to "professional connoisseur."
My Father La Gran Oferta Toro is a generous gift that transcends time. With its elegant presentation and vibrant flavor, it redefines the sophistication and passion of Nicaraguan cigars.
