My Father

[Soundwave13]

Ok, I just lit up the brand new My Father robusto... I purchased while shopping for some sticks to send over to the sandbox.

I really want to try the lancero, but they don't have any just yet...

Solid construction - almost tight/hard. I clipped it clean & it has a perfect draw. First thing that comes to mind when I give it a pre-light taste - raisins?

It lit up easily & imediately reminded me of the Tobacco Beaz. It has a little more spice up front, but has a very clean & refined taste as compared.

Very creamy & rich, solid white ash, razor burn line...

So far - real good medium stick.

I have smoked the Lancero and without doing a complete review will pass on to you that it is a great stick.

It's a very clean smoke. I had to do a bit of touch-up near the end.

Based on the fact that I tend to smoke stronger cigars, I don't see myself purchasing alot of these, especially because of the price. I definitely prefer the El Centurian if I have a craving for a top notch Pepin blend. (Not to mention some of the more bold blends done for Pete).

That said, I will probably snatch a few lanceros to see how these age. I think that given a year or more - these will be particularly tasty.

This thread inspired me. I am smoking the robusto as I type. I usually like the heavier bodied blends that Pepin does. This is a nice departure from the strong stuff though. Every once in a while I like to have a lighter smoke and this might be my default for a while. Really good smoke. Not the disappointment that God of Fire was for me.

The lancero is great, as was the robusto. Nice review!

Thanks for the aditional comments.

Keep in mind that Jamie Garcia was the primary blender for these sticks as a tribut to his father, that may account for some of the flavor differences or a departure from your expectations, regardless, smoked another lancero tonight and for a nice well rounded, medium boided stick it is great. I really enjoy these

I will have to try this stick although I prefer the kick ass Pepins versus the lighter ones.
