Introducing the Flor de las Antillas, the first entirely box-pressed line from My Father cigars.
Meaning 'Flower of the Antilles', the Flor de las Antillas represents Cuba, the largest island in the Greater Antilles islands, and home to the Garcia family's rich cigar making heritage. Featuring an all-Nicaraguan blend of tobaccos, Flor de las Antillas maintains My Father's reputation for crafting full-flavored, well constructed handmades. It is a 3/4 to Full-Bodied cigar Box-Pressed of a sun grown wrapper harvested in Las Marias farm, located in the region of Namaja in Estela, Nicaragua, owned and operated by the Garcia Family.
This cigar is blended with several Cuban tobacco seeds, making it smooth and creamy. It starts with the signature My Father spice and has a rich cocoa flavor. It produces a beautiful white ash giving it a great finish. From start to finish, Flor de las Antillas maintains its smooth character and never goes a tick over medium to full-bodied. Flor de las Antillas is also the perfect entry into the My Father line for those cigar smokers looking to expand their palates but not ready to dive right into powerhouse blends, or for smokers who love those powerful blends but feel like a more relaxing smoke.
