My Father Connecticut Toro

The My Father Connecticut Toro answers a question many smokers have asked: what does a mild cigar taste like when the Garcia family makes it? This 6½ × 54 toro wears a silky Ecuador Connecticut wrapper over all-Nicaraguan binder and filler — the gentlest blend in the My Father portfolio, built with the same construction standards as their full-bodied award winners.

Construction

Pale golden wrapper, invisible seams, and a perfect cold draw of cream and hay. My Father's factory in Estelí doesn't make a sloppy cigar at any strength: expect a straight burn, firm ash, and a smooth, open draw for the full smoke.

Flavor profile

Mild to medium with a Nicaraguan accent. The first third opens creamy — cedar, toasted nuts, a touch of vanilla. The middle third adds white pepper and a bready sweetness, the Nicaraguan filler giving it more personality than a typical Connecticut. The final third closes with coffee and cream and a clean finish. A relaxed 75-minute smoke.

Pairings & occasion

Brunch, golf course, or early evening. Pair with coffee, a blanco tequila, champagne, or a soft Speyside Scotch (Glenlivet 12). For fans of Le Bijou or The Judge, this is the bottle of white wine in a cellar full of reds — and it holds its own.
