I have tried most of the different sizes of the My Father, No1, 2, 4 & now the No5 which is the Toro a big 6 1/2 x 56 .
All of them have been wonderful, the Lancero had to sit in my Humidor for a week as it was a bit dry. But all of the others are some of the best tasting cigars I have had & are well worth the price if you buy them by the box at one of the discount cigars web sites.
They put off quite a bit of smoke and are very easy going for what is supposed to be a full bodied cigar.
As for the review given by the main person . I have tried the La Aroma De Cuba Edicion Especial which is a very good cigar but does not come close to the My Father, I have seen the My Father for the same price as the La Aroma on many web sites out there and would buy the My Fathers anytime over the La Aroma, But we each have a different preference and taste , but still cant compare these 2 cigars

I smoked this one a couple days ago. I had no preconceived notions about the cigar because I had not read any reviews or heard anything about the cigar besides its name and brand.

The cigar burned marvelously, with tons of thick smoke. It also put up a lot of smoke when resting. The burn was very good, the draw was perfect. The flavors were roasted marshmallow, honey, pecans, shortbread, and a distinct saltiness on the tongue with every draw. This saltiness very nicely prepared the palette for the sweet, creamy flavors. The aroma was sweet and mild. At one point, I experienced a rush of floral, fruity flavors that immediately brought dried strawberries to mind. That was rush was very short lived.

I will absolutely buy a box of these when I get a chance.

Became lightheaded/nauseous/shaky when reaching the nub. Bought 3 so I will see if it’s too strong for me. Can’t be objective due to a stomach virus that hit me soon after.

This is by far my favorite cigar. I drive 15 miles out of my way to the best cigar shop around to purchase them one at a time. I’m thinking I need to buy an entire box. It goes perfectly with a cold drawn Gosser in the early evening at the end of the week. I’ve paid twice the price for Cuban Montecristos and learned my lesson. Nothing but My Father Belicoso #2 for this fan!

Just tried the Toro version. It had a lighter body than I was expecting (definelty not full) and a sweeter spice flavor then you typically get from a Nicaraguan. I’d give it 8.5/10

I just lit one up a little while ago and am smoking it now. It does seem to have a very nice white/gray ash similar to the DP Centurion. Lots of creamy smoke so far. This was a gift from a cigar store owner that enjoys this cigar. He spoke highly of it and sent me one to try. Its been sitting in a humidor for 2 months waiting for me.
Very impressive and the label may be a little pink, but its a very nice garcia/garcia label. I understand that the binder and filler that are grown in Nicaragua are for Don Pepin’s own personal use. Its a big ring size 54 with a lot of well blended tobacco wrapped in a Ecoudorian wrapper. Mild to medium.

The girlfriend gave this cigar as a gift one sunny afternoon. She has not given me a better gift since. Ummm….yes she has. Anyways the cigar is wonderful. Nice draw with lots of smoke. I would probably not buy one for myself being the price is to high but as a gift I will take it all day.

I have smoked some great cigars lately..Habanos and others. This cigar is so good for what it is…to me…the flavor…the smoke and draw just blows me away! Pure enjoyment..I would pay the price once per week to enjoy one..but I’m buying a box!
