Flor de Las Antillas Cigars by My Father

This is one of those cigars that just hits the sweet spot. The Flor de Las Antillas isn’t flashy or overhyped—it’s just consistently good. Rolled by the Garcia family in Nicaragua, it’s made with all Nicaraguan sun-grown tobacco, and you can tell the moment you light up that it’s the product of serious care and craftsmanship.

Flavor-wise, it’s smooth but still got some backbone. You get warm spice, cocoa, a little earthiness, and just enough pepper to keep it from feeling too mellow. It’s the kind of smoke that keeps you coming back because it doesn’t try too hard—it just delivers.

And it’s not just regular folks saying that—it won Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year back in 2012 with a 96 rating. That’s no small deal. A lot of reviewers love it for the same reasons regular smokers do: it’s balanced, flavorful, and reliable. Burns evenly, draws great, and has that kind of quiet confidence to it.

If you like a cigar that’s flavorful without being overpowering, and you want something that’s going to smoke well every time, this is a great one to have in your regular rotation.
