This Black Label edition represents Master Blender Garcia’s strongest blend of Nicaraguan long fillers and binder since the brand’s inception. The addition of a deceivingly medium colored vintage Corojo wrapper completes the formula which yields a full flavor to ultra full flavored Cuban styled smoking experience. While this 92 rated powerhouse delivers a great array of pleasant tastes, there’s no questioning it’s outright intensity which increases along the way. Buckle up!

When this line was launched in 2014 it was a well received departure from the medium-full bodied blends the company was we known for. The Connecticut landed squarely in the mild to mellow zone gaining many, many new smokers into the My Father fold. The noted addition of a 15 year old Nicaraguan Corojo binder gave this stick a unique taste offering folks that enjoyed milder cigars a thoroughly enjoyable experience unlike what they were accustomed to.

When My Father recently launched this edition we all couldn’t wait to see how they would honor the great Fonseca name. Getting a 93 rating and being named a top 25 cigar of the year gave us our answer! The rich, brown, oily wrapper is only the beginning. Soon after lighting up, the ample draw envelopes your palate with smooth and dense natural tobacco taste and begins a journey of of complexity. Along the way flavor notes of spices, pepper, buttered toast and ginger will delight you down to the nub. The Petit Corona is a top pick!

To begin with, the boxed pressed El Centurion H-2K-CT is a joy to behold. Created as a spinoff of the original Centurion line, this blend was years in the making. When this cigar launched in 2016 it garnered a 93 rating. Receiving a top 25 cigar of the year award was well deserved for sure. Without a doubt, this medium to full bodied smoke is known for its intense flavor and complex body.

My Father El Centurion is just one of the amazing cigars this iconic company produces.
With attention to detail, the Sancti Spiritus filler leaf is a very special tobacco leaf proving to be the star of this blend. When you add in Criollo and Corojo Habano and encase it with a rustic Nicaraguan Criollo 98 wrapper, you know you’re in for something good. The results speak for themselves.
Noted reviewer KATMAN says “This is a highly complex flavorful cigar.”
Cigar Coop rates the Centurion a very respectable 93. They describe it perfectly.
“It has an excellent flavor profile and it is supplemented by excellent construction. I’d probably still steer this cigar to a more experienced cigar enthusiast because it does have some strength to it.”
Cigar Score scores it their highest 5 out of 5. Their words are spot on. “From the first puff, the My Father El Centurion is impressive. The flavors are mild but rich, the aroma is on point, and the draw is consistent and smooth. The El Centurion burned evenly the entire time and held the ash until I knocked it off.”
If you’re a fan of My Father, these should be in your humidor for sure!
