Detailed Description
The My Father Blue delivers an extraordinary smoking experience that balances boldness with sophistication. Upon lighting, expect immediate notes of white pepper and wood spice that quickly evolve into creamy layers of cocoa, toasted nuts, and earth. The Connecticut Broadleaf Rosado wrapper provides natural sweetness reminiscent of molasses and brown sugar, perfectly complementing the rich Honduran core.
As the cigar progresses, complex flavors of leather, cayenne, and cedar emerge alongside hints of sweetness and dried fruit. The final third intensifies with charred oak and black coffee notes, finishing with a long, satisfying peppery sweetness.
