Had a Garcia y Garcia My Father this morning. It was freaking cold and windy outside and that took something away from the experience. I'll definitely do it again in a more relaxed atmosphere.

Swore off CAO for the most part due to repeated disappointment in recent years, but decided to fire up a Brazilia I got with a variety sampler. The flavor was better than I expected (pretty darn good actually), but the wrapper began flaking off in the first 1/3 and by the halfway point it was a mess. What a shame. At least there's another spot to fill in my box. :)
Never had that happen with the Brazilia line, but then again haven't had a CAO in some time now. I remember that used to happen all the time with the Cameroon L'Anniversaire line..the wrapper was extremely thin. Cameroon is sensitive in general, but the wrappers on those cigars are ridiculous. CAO has such potential, and great marketing...but seem to make crap cigars imo.

Started with a Illiusione Mk and finished with a LFD Cameroon Cabinet. Enjoyed them both with SkinsFanLarry and Zen at Empire in Raleigh. Smokes and company were both great.
