4/5
Good cigar
It gives you a unique feeling of the flavor of coffee, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cedar, keeping the cigars cool until the end
Overview
Pepin Garcia is automatic. He has done it time and time again and if you try the El Centurion by My Father Cigars, you'll know what we mean. Garcia uses an all Nicaraguan blend of tobaccos for this cigar, but to create complexity, he uses four seed varietals: Criollo, Corojo Habano, Sancti Spiritus, and a dark brown Criollo '98 wrapper.
El Centurion's profile starts off with a hint of pepper—almost a trademark of the blending style of the Garcia Family—but the complex profile moves through flavors of leather and cedar and additional floral notes as well as earth, dark chocolate and espresso. Like all My Father cigars the burn and draw are exceptional and the cigar stays cool to the touch right up to the end. El Centurion by My Father Cigars comes in four sizes packaged in boxes of 20 cigars.

El Centurian Toro
A 6 x 52 cigar with a dark colorado wrapper with lots of veins, this stick has a poorly applied triple cap and the wrapper is cut jagged at the foot. Cigar appears to be rolled entubar style and is densely packedand heavy in hand. The cold nose is heavy barnyard and white pepper. The cold draw is toasty tobacco with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. The initial draw after ignition is malty with a orange peel finish. The retrohale is lots of red pepper.. The flavor is woody and not as spicy as I remember this cigar from 10 years ago. The citrus continues on the finish as I near the second third. The flavor profile is consistent and enjoyable, a solid medium bodied smoke with the nicotine ramping up at the half way point. My only complaint is that this cigar does not hold an ash well at all. The ash falls away in half inch crumbles like a short filler stick, very annoying. As i enter the final third the wood has taken on a salty leather addition, I have paired this cigar with a little Buffalo Trace over ice, works nicely. The cigar holds up nicely, no harshness or bitterness, I nubbed it. On the CA scale I give this a 90
