La Duena means “The Boss” in Spanish and is a cigar made by Don Pepin Garcia at the My Father Cigar factory.  The cigar was however, blended by Pete Johnson of Tatuaje FOR Janny Garcia (Pepin’s daughter).  She has been active in the sales role for My Father Cigars for a while but this is her “big” introduction. 


Appearance: This has a gorgeous broadleaf wrapper that has no flaws.  The label is white on red with a silhouette of a woman.  It kind of reminds me of those old school broaches.  Very cool and classic looking.      9/10

Construction: Beautiful is an appropriate word for this.  It has just enough give and the pre-draw is fantastic.  10/10

Burn:   Sometimes broadleaf has so much oil on it, it is hard to burn, and this however does not.  It seems it has aged the tobacco to make it burn very consistently.      9/10

Aroma: There is a sweetness and a slight barnyard smell.  Pleasant but not overpowering.        8/10

Draw: Nice draw.  Just right.    10/10

Flavor: Where to begin?  Man this tastes great.  Meaty, gritty, earthy, chocolate.         10/10

Availability: You can find these almost anywhere and that makes me happy.  10/10

Personal Overall Experience:  This cigar is great for any time of day.  It is a great cigar to relax and just enjoy.  Once the funds become available, I will be buying a box.  I can’t say enough about these.  30/30.

Total: 96/100
