My Father La Promesa Robusto Grande is a 5 1/2 x 54 cigar from the Garcia family, with a dark Ecuadorian Habano Rosado Oscuro wrapper. The blend is named for a promise José “Pepin” Garcia made to his family before he left Cuba. It stands as a tribute to that promise and a regular production release in the My Father portfolio.
The cigar is handmade in Nicaragua. Its Nicaraguan binder and long fillers come from the Garcia family farms. The profile is medium to full, built on black pepper, leather and oak. Reviewers also report notes of dark chocolate and cream. The oily, reddish brown wrapper adds richness, and the construction is firm with an even burn and a stable ash.
The Robusto Grande format has a wider 54 ring gauge. It gives the flavours room to develop and delivers more smoke than a standard Robusto. Allow roughly 50 to 100 minutes, depending on pace. Reviewers note that the strength can read anywhere from medium to full depending on the session, so it is best enjoyed after a meal.
La Promesa suits smokers who like flavourful Nicaraguan cigars with polish rather than excess. The Robusto Grande is a good place to start in the line. It is also a solid choice for seasoned smokers who want a well balanced, full flavoured cigar.
