Good evening fellow late nighters. Good Thanksgiving wishes to all.
I received a box of Our Father Flor de Las Antillas Belicosos today.
This month's Cigar Aficionado "95" rated top pick. My rating, "00". I smoke three to five cigars a day and bought these on a lark from Neptune because of the "95" rating. These things don't deserve a spot in my humidor IMHO. They taste like nothing. I ended up getting a return authorization from Neptune and I am going to be returning a box of cigars for the first time in 40 years of smoking.
I'm quitting reading Cigar Aficionado too.:eek: I don't even want to smoke tonight so I'm having a glass of Basil Hayden's bourbon.

Wow, surprising. I read that issue of CA while traveling. They really praised that smoke.

I've had several My Father Cigars and all have been spice heavy. They are not my favorite NC, but all have been good. Have you tried anything from Warped or Casa Fernandez/ Aganorsa. I spent 10 years only smoking CCs and when I started smoking NCs again was really blown away by those NC brands? The Warped Lirio Rojo is particularly nice.

I am not a CA fan, but I do like most of the older My Father blends. Sad to hear you are so disappointed.
I have noticed a strange and not enjoyable mettalic taste when that blend is young, but 6 months to a year later they seem to hit the sweet spot. Any date on the box? At least Neptune is willing to give you credit for something else.

For non-CCs, I tend to stick with Padron 1926, Fuente Opus X, and Cohiba red dots.
