The Cigar: My Father La Promesa Petite 

The Specs:
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Habano
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Strength: Medium-Full
Size: 4.5" x 50

Due Date: May 25, 2020 

The Hype:
My Father La Promesa ("The Promise") cigars represent the promise that company-owner Jose Pepin Garcia made to his father when he departed his home country of Cuba all by himself in 2001 - that he would make his father, who remained behind, proud of his success. These medium to full-bodied cigars are crafted using tobacco from Garcia's own farms in Nicaragua combined with a Nicaraguan binder and completed with a Habano Oscuro wrapper from Ecuador.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this initiative in place.

Thanks again to Doug for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

Hey! How come Habana is written on here with a Sharpie ?!?

A day without whiskey is like . . . just kidding, I have no idea!

Doug advises that the cigar was mailed out to each reviewer today, so keep your eyes on the mailbox!

Got mine as well, thanks for the extra goodies, Doug.  I'm letting them rest for a few weeks and will shoot for getting the review done at the end of the month.

REMINDER: Three days to the deadline and only one review has been turned in.  The long weekend ahead should give you plenty of time to wrap this one up, gentlemen.  Enjoy the holiday!
