My Father La Antiguedad Toro Gordo

My Father La Antiguedad Toro Gordo is a box pressed 6 x 60 cigar from the Garcia family, and it is the thickest size in the La Antiguedad line. The name means “the antiquity,” and the blend was introduced in 2014. It was ranked 20th on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list for 2019, with a rating of 92.

The cigar is handmade in Nicaragua. The wrapper is an Ecuadorian Habano Rosado Oscuro, a deep, almost burgundy brown leaf. Under it sits a double binder of Nicaraguan Corojo and Criollo. The filler is aged Nicaraguan long leaf from three Garcia family farms: San Rafael, Las Quebradas and San José. The strength is medium to full. Expect espresso, cocoa, black pepper and leather, along with cedar, toasted walnut, raisin and toffee.

The 60 ring gauge of the My Father La Antiguedad Toro Gordo produces a cool, dense and plentiful smoke. The flat, blocky shape resembles a chocolate bar and is easy to hold. Cigar Aficionado praised its sweet, toasty character, and the double binder helps with consistent construction. Allow roughly 90 minutes to two hours, depending on pace.

This cigar suits smokers who prefer big ring gauges and a flavourful, full bodied Nicaraguan blend. It is also a good choice for experienced smokers looking for a long, relaxed smoke.
