Flor de Las Antillas cigars, launched by My Father Cigars in May of 2012, are the company’s first line of cigars to be completely box-pressed. Since their release, the cigars have been a major success. It even won a “Number One Cigar of the Year” honor. Other accomplishments include a score of the 96 points and eight ratings above 90. It shouldn’t be a shock that My Father has recently continued to improve the line by adding a new size.

This new size, Toro Grande, was launched at the 2015 IPCPR trade show. The 6 x 60 box-pressed cigar is one of five sizes available in Flor de Las Antillas.

The name of these cigars says a lot. The cigar is named after Cuba, the largest island in the chain of islands known as the Greater Antilles Islands. This is the Garcia family’s birthplace, home of a rich history of cigar making. Flor de Las Antillas is constructed with excellent quality and packed with flavor to make it represent its namesake.

Most of the cigars produced by My Father Cigars are full-bodied, but Flor de Las Antillas is not. This medium-bodied cigar has a rich Sun Grown Nicaraguan wrapper. Inside, the cigar has Cuban seed long-fillers from Nicaragua and a Nicaraguan binder. It’s smooth, balanced and more flavorful than you could imagine.

For the best online prices, you can buy Flor de Las Antillas in Toro Grande from Cuenca Cigars. You can also try it in Belicoso, Robusto, Toro or Toro Gordo.

A Unique Addition to Padrón Cigars with Padrón Damaso

Leave a comment

shop now padron dams cigars at cuenca cigars online

Padrón Cigars is almost exclusively known for producing cigars of the highest quality. With box-pressed and full-bodied cigars, Padrón has had success with cigar enthusiasts for 50 years. The newest addition, Padrón Damaso, is very different from the other cigars. Mild to medium-bodied, the cigar has an Ecuadorian Connecticut seed wrapper and isn’t box-pressed.

Most of the major cigar names seem to find something they do well and stick to it, so why did Padrón create such a different cigar? Jorge Padrón answered that question for Cigar Afficianado’s David Savona. “We want to give more people the chance to try Padrón cigars,” he said in an interview. “Hopefully we can get more people to try a Padrón product – some that may not otherwise have tried one; people that prefer milder cigars. And we can bring them into the Padrón family little by little.”

Despite the many differences between Padrón Damaso cigars and traditional Padrón cigars, the excellent quality remains the same. Instead of rushing to produce as many as he could, Padrón was “focusing on the quality, focusing on the taste.” Damaso is as high quality as the other brands and certainly not lacking in flavor. “It’s not a mild, mild cigar. It’s got some flavor to it. It’s not a one-dimensional product. It does taste like tobacco. It has characteristics that you would expect from a Padrón,” Padrón stated.

Try one out for yourself and buy them at the best online prices from Cuenca Cigars. They are available in four different sizes, and may make you a Padrón fan.

Espinosa Recreates Murcielago Cigars

Leave a comment

murcielago-cigars-blog-postBack in 2009, Erik Espinosa and Eddie Ortega owned United Tobacco/EO Brands. In a collaboration with the Garcia family, the company launched Murcielago cigars. When Ortega and Espinosa split ways, Espinosa was given the Murcielago name. Because the blend was made at the My Family Cigars factory, the Garcia’s kept the blend and the brand was put on hold.

Even though he didn’t know the blend, Espinosa didn’t give up. He enlisted the help of Amlicar Perez-Castro, a former employee of the Garcia family. Through reverse engineering, the two were able to recreate the Murcielago Cigars blend.

The recreated blend was finally launched at the 2015 IPCPR trade show by Espinosa Cigars. It features new packaging and presentation by way of a red and black band, but uses the same Mexican San Andres wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers and binders of the original cigars. Unlike the originals which were available in Robusto, Toro, Churchill, Belicoso and Toro Grande, the new launch is available in Noir, La Lune and Nocturne sizes.

You can try one out for yourself and see how it compares to the original creation. They sell for the best online prices at Cuenca Cigars.

The 2015 IPCPR Trade Show was a major success for La Zona Factory and Espinosa Cigars. The Espinosa Especial Cigars were officially launched at the convention, and was a huge success. Espinosa knows Mexican tobacco, and Erik Espinosa proved this when he created this blend.

Other Espinosa cigars have been popular, but the Espinosa Especial cigar is very unique from the others. Even the last release, the Espinosa Maduro with a Mexican maduro wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers and binders, doesn’t compare.

The wrapper of the Espinosa Especial Cigar is truly unique. With a Capra Negra wrapper from Mexico, the cigar is dark, oily and earthy. Using Nicaraguan fillers and binders from four outstanding regions- Ometepe, Jalapa, Esteli and Condega, the cigar has a flavorful blend. The wrapper and the fillers make for a fantastic full-bodied cigar.

In a press release, Erik Espinosa stated, “I just love the taste of this blend from the minute we created it.” To find out if you’re a fan of the blend too, you can buy them for the best online prices from Cuenca Cigars. You can get them in boxes of ten in three vitolas. Espinosa Especial cigars are unique and loaded with flavor.

el-centurion-h-2k-ct-blog

Of the many great releases during the 2015 IPCPR trade show this summer, the new El Centurion H-2K-CT stands out. Made by the legendaries Garcia’s family of My Father Cigars, this is a new brand that pleases even the most discerning smokers.

The whole El Centurion line has had a successful history. At first, it was launched in 2007 and was meant to be limited edition. After much success, the cigar line was brought back into regular production in 2013. Now, the H-2K-CT El Centurion is an alteration of the original line. It’s made at the My Father Cigars S.A factory in Nicaragua.

The Garcia’s proprietary H-2K-CT wrapper doesn’t feature your typical Connecticut shade wrapper. Instead, it features a wrapper that is a hybrid from the Valley of the River of Connecticut. Grown facing the sunlight, this Cuban-seed tobacco makes a peculiar leaf to assemble a very distinctive cigar.

You may think this cigar is too similar to the My Father Connecticut cigar or the El Centurion. This is not the case. The cigar is box-pressed and full of flavor. It’s medium-bodied and should please most cigar smokers.

With Nicaraguan binder and filler tobacco, the cigar has notes of wheat and pepper. There is also a sweetness to it during the last third of the cigar. The El Centurion H-2K-CT comes in size Toro or Corona. You can buy them at the best online prices from Cuenca Cigars.
