This is the second My Father line to come out of the company’s factory in Honduras, and the blend leans Honduran as well. The name means the loyalty, and it will be available in four sizes. This is described as a medium to full-bodied smoke, offering a bit more in the flavor department than the My Father Blue, the first cigar to come out of the company’s Honduran factory.

The cigar is nicely made and has an average feel in the hand.
The test draw after cutting the cap was good. The initial flavors at light up were apricot, brown sugar, touch of nougat, earthiness, and leathery black coffee. There was black pepper rated at 7 1/2. Very good start.
At the first third (27 minutes) the burn was a little off but I decided to let it catch up as it's not too bad. Now I had the apricot but there's also a citrus note. The brown sugar and light nougat are still there. The black coffee is pronounced but it comes after the sweet notes. There's a little earthiness and leather notes. The cigar is medium bodied, leaning toward medium to full. The finish is apricot with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the first third 94.
As I moved through the second third (1 hour) the cigar burn caught up without needing to be touched up. The earthiness and black coffee are up and the sweet notes are a little lower but it's not too bad. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish is black coffee with very good lingering black pepper. The change did not hurt the cigar much. I rated the second third 93.
The cigar lasted 1 hour 37 minutes. The cigar got back to nice again. The apricot notes were good along with the brown sugar and light nougat. The earthiness toned down. The black coffee was in a nice amount. The cigar is medium to full bodied. The finish was apricot with very good lingering black pepper. I rated the final third 94. Another good cigar out of their new Honduran factory.
