My Father Flor de las Antillas Robusto cigars are soft box pressed Nicaraguan puros made with tobacco grown on the Garcia family’s farms in Estelí. This 5 x 50 Robusto uses a reddish brown Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper over all Nicaraguan binder and long filler tobaccos, delivering a smooth yet richly spiced medium to full bodied profile.
The sun grown wrapper contributes cocoa, cedar, cinnamon and a deep natural sweetness, while the Nicaraguan binder and fillers provide earthy richness, roasted coffee and the signature My Father pepper character. Cuban seed tobaccos give the blend structure and aromatic complexity, creating a smoke that is creamy and refined despite its strength. The soft box pressed shape also provides a comfortable feel in the hand and a steady, even burn.
The cigar opens with cedar, white pepper and nutmeg before developing cocoa, earth, toasted nuts and sweet wood. Coffee, leather and a gentle cinnamon spice emerge through the middle, followed by a finish of rich tobacco, dark chocolate and lingering pepper. My Father Flor de las Antillas Robusto pairs well with espresso, aged rum, bourbon, a dark ale or a full bodied red wine.

Really great cigar. Rich, full flavoured, coco, wood, and hay. The box press makes for a perfect drawing cigar. One of my favourite cigars to share with friends who haven’t tried it yet. So reliable and tasty.

Good looking cigar, easy draw, even burn. I thought it was a little strong for my tastes, but it must have been good because I smoked it down to the nub.

Always dependable, regardless of shape. The Toro, the Belicoso, the Robusto never disappoint. The draw, the construction, the quality and taste are always reliable. This is my go to cigar for a great relaxing smoke. Two thumbs up and 5 stars for this bad boy. Love My Father products.

I was disappointed, specially that others had raving reviews. It’s a well constructed cigar with good draw and even burn. As for the flavor, I found it lacking in subtlety. This cigar has an overwhelming harsh flavor. Not for me.

This cigar is overwhelmingly peppery. It lacks balance and is harsh

Ohhhhh, this is lovely! To my newbie palate, it’s mild-to-medium. I got cocoa, some cedar, I think — definitely wood-notes– mild spiciness, and sunshine. Yeah, I know, “sunshine” isn’t a taste — except to my brain, it is. I taste “sunshine” in the Agios Meharis Ecuador cigarillos, for example; there the sunshine dances across the tongue, bright and sparkly. Here, it’s more like late-morning sun, not quite noon-day strong, deep and warm and soothing. I didn’t get any cream or leather or much pungency — not a complaint, just an observation. Even draw and burn, even when outside in 8 degrees Celsius with drizzle and gusty winds. I found it goes better with black coffee than milky coffee; it’s not strong enough to stand up to milky coffee. A good hour-long smoke, at least. Oh, and if you oh-so-carefully peel away the Government of Canada’s dull-by-design label, you’ll find the beautiful original.
If you prefer a stronger, pungent cigar, this one might not be your thing. If you’re looking for a smoke that’s a little lighter, or more delicate, yet still unmistakably a lovely cigar, then you might really dig My Father Flor de las Antillas Robusto.

Can’t go wrong with this cigar. Bought one to try and now I’ll have to buy 10 more for the humidor.
