Saludos,
Greetings, mavens of MF. We have a special arrival that we don’t anticipate lasting too long on our humidor shelves. Our My Father Cigar rep emailed us a couple weeks ago that the company had a limited batch of cigars that they were trying to unload. They labeled them as seconds but they are of a higher quality than your usual run-of-the-mill low-grade seconds. Anyway, we jumped on the chance to acquire some since we knew this offering wouldn’t be available too long. Habana Port decided on the following shipment of My Father cigar seconds:
1. My Father Seconds Habano Oscuro Robusto (5 inches by 50 rg) Full-body (item code BLO3HOSROB)
2. My Father Seconds Habano Oscuro Robusto (5.25 inches by 52 rg) Medium to Full-body (item code BLOPJHOSROB)
3. My Father Seconds Habano Rosado Belicoso (5 inches by 54 rg). Medium-body (item code BLO1HROBELI)
And the kicker…we are offering the cigars at $5.49 a piece. They come packaged in a 20-count bundle and you get 10% off with a bundle purchase. The bundle price is $98.85 or roughly $4.94 a piece.
Because cigar companies do not strive to produce seconds since their profit margins are not as high as when they produce “firsts”, we have a few theories about theses cigars. The cigars may not have been cut according to company specifications (i.e., they were cut too short) or these are blends that were prototypes that did not make the cut. Either way, we noticed these cigars use the same wrappers found on the My Father and Le Bijou cigar lines. So in the end, if you want a great deal on great cigars, these Seconds will fulfill your needs. But as usual with these limited offerings, you better act fast. If you can’t make it to a Habana Port location, you can order them here at CigarEarth.com.
Until the next post, siempre fumando,

Greetings, lovers of limited editions. We posted previously about the 2011 My Father Humidor which contain 50 of the cigars we write about today, the My Father Limited Edition 2011! They arrived today in our humidor and we wanted to discuss the details as to why these cigars are so special.
The Garcia family decided to use copious amounts of the very rare Pelo d’Oro tobacco. With a name meaning, in Spanish, “Golden Hair”, this tobacco looks as beautiful as it tastes. Pepin says about the Pelo d’Oro, “It’s the best Cuban seed ever.” The problem, though, is that Pelo d’Oro is a farmer’s nightmare because of its susceptibility to blue mold and other pests. These risks make Pelo d’Oro a very low-yield crop and almost impossible to use in regular production. This year’s L.E. was blended by Jaime Garcia, son of Don Pepin Garcia. Gorgeously packaged in 12-count boxes, these cigars will not stay on the shelf too long. Last year, smokers were scrambling to get their share and many called across state lines to find shops who still had some.
M.F. Limited Edition 2011 Cigar Specs:
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Rosado Wrapper
Binder & Filler: Nicaraguan Corojo, Criollo, Habano AND Pelo d’Oro (proprietary to the Garcia family)
Body: Medium-Full to Full
Flavors: Decadent flavors of roasted coffee, anise and bittersweet chocolate are present in different levels of intensity throughout the entire smoke.
Construction: Of course, from start to finish, the cigar is one of the most consistent and well-constructed cigars you’ll have the opportunity to smoke.
Our price: $21.95/cigar or $263.40/12count box
