The Cigar:My Father La Opulencia Robusto (5.2 x 52)
The Specs:
Country Manufactured: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Mexico
Filler: Nicaragua
Binder:Nicaragua
The Hype:
Combine My Father and Le Bijou and you've got Opulencia:
My Father Cigars have come a long way since their start in a tiny cigar factory in Miami's Little Havana nearly a decade and a half ago. Since then, they've grown into a go-to brand for cigar enthusiasts, regularly receiving outstanding reviews from critics and several top-25 honors. And we expect no less for the newest entry into this storied brand — My Father La Opulencia. A box-pressed vitola presented in six exquisite offerings, La Opulencia is here to redefine the premium cigar experience.
Featuring elements of the original My Father and Le Bijou, the La Opulencia utilizes an opulent Mexican Rosado Oscuro wrapper encasing flavorful Nicaraguan filler. This premium cigar has a smooth and creamy taste with leather and cocoa nuances. Each sample that went across our office burnt beautifully and smoothly down to the end.
Due Date: June 25th., 2018
Shipping Restrictions: US addresses only.

Please make sure that all addresses are up to date (or send it to me if you don't list it) and I will get these out to everyone soon so that they can rest in your humidor a while before you review. Thanks!
Thank you very much for putting this together, Brlesq! Really looking forward to trying this one
Four of the five packages went out to you gentlemen today so that you could let the cigar rest a bit at your preferred humidity. The review will be due by June 25, 2018.
The last package will go out if Kenny G's cousin gets me his complete mailing info.
LOL ok that’s funny
Thanks Bruce, will be watching for it!
Awesome. Thanks a ton!
Got the box today. Thanks for having me in the review and thanks for the tag along cigars!
Got mine, thanks Bruce! I'll post a pic this weekend, but there are a couple of fine tag alongs in here!
Package landed!! Thanks a lot Bruce for the bodyguards you sent along!
Everyone should have these now. Thanks for doing the critique, fellas!
Just a reminder that this one is due June 25th., 2018. If you haven't finished it yet, this would be a great weekend to do so since your wife MUST allow you to smoke the entire weekend on Father's Day weekend. (That's a law, I think.) :biggrin:
If it's not we should lobby for it.
I'm fighting off a head cold at the moment which my 2 year old was kind of enough to share with me. Probably won't be smoking this weekend which sucks because I had something special picked out.....but no worries Bruce, I will smoke this one next week
Bruce, my review is done, but too busy smoking a Yard Gar to post it. :biggrin:
Thanks for having me in this one, will post it soon
:bigthumbs:
Review is posted. Thanks Bruce for including me in this one.
:bigthumbs:
Will be done in the next few days
so my "head cold" has now turned into a sinus infection, today marks 1 week now I've been dealing with this. I am going to hold out as long as I can and hopefully I should be good to go Saturday night or Sunday
Just submitted mine. Thanks !
Looking forward to seeing the reviews from this one! Bruce when do you think they'll be up?
Usually in the first few days of the month.
cool, thanks
Thanks to all the reviewers for participating and taking the time to do a thorough review!
Feedback left for everyone.
Thank you Bruce for sponsoring this one! Looks like very close scoring for the most part. I really liked the cigar and more of them are in my future!
Agreed, I will definitely pick up a 5'er the next time I see them on sale. Thanks again for putting this together Bruce. This was a nice smoke!
