老爹雪茄的产品曾经两次获得CA（ Cigar Aficionado）杂志的年度冠军雪茄称号。正在对计划发布的安德烈斯之花10周年限量版2022进行最后的润色，这是近期外界较为关注的一款产品，只有一个尺寸，预计在7月份的PCA贸易展上亮相的小批量产品。预计今年晚些时候向零售商发货。

这款限量版在尼加拉瓜卷制，每盒12支，每支雪茄都有单独的棺木式的包装盒，外包装盒十分华丽，每个雪茄盒有唯一编号，贴在包装盒正面的右下角。2012年这款安德烈斯之花的公牛尺寸被评为年度第一名雪茄，12是对这个年份的致敬。这是老爹雪茄公司的所有者、加西亚家族第一次拿到CA杂志年度第一名的奖项。

限量版雪茄52环径，6.5英寸。全部采用尼加拉瓜烟叶卷制。并且全部是加西亚家族经营的农场种植的烟叶。

杰米·加西亚（Jaime Garcia）介绍说，限量版与10年前的原版相比，茄衣烟叶比较相似，但是限量版的颜色更深一些，虽然是相同的种子。此刻Jaime在位于迈阿密的公司总部，向大家介绍限量版的包装盒和雪茄。他说这款限量版会比原版要味道浓郁一些。算是中等+（“medium plus）的口味。

预计这款限量版一共生产5000盒，总共6万支。公司还没有确定零售价。

安德烈斯之花这款产品在CA杂志社以往的雪茄测评里表现出色。在10年中，17次得分在90分以上，6次得分在80多分，其中5次得分是89分。最高得分是96分，当时公牛尺寸被评为年度冠军雪茄。

安德烈斯之花中的安德烈斯是指安德烈斯群岛，这里是加西亚家族的老家，古巴则是加勒比海地区的安德烈斯群岛中最大的一个岛屿。

My Father Cigars, two-time winners of Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year, is putting the final touches on the Flor de Las Antillas 10th Anniversary Limited Edition 2022. It’s a new version of one of the company’s most heralded brands, a one size, small-production release it hopes to have on display at the PCA trade show in July. Shipments to cigar shops will follow later in the year. 

The cigars are made in Nicaragua, and will be presented in ornate, numbered boxes containing 12 cigars, each of them presented in individual wooden coffins. The boxes are striking, with a golden label near the bottom right corner of the lid showing the number of the production run. The 12-count boxes are an homage to the year 2012, when the Flor de Las Antillas Toro was named Cigar of the Year. It was the first time the Garcia family, owners and makers of My Father Cigars, won that award. 

The new smokes measure 6 1/2 inches long by 52 ring gauge, and while the all-Nicaraguan blend has a certain familiarity to the traditional Flor de Las Antillas, it has been modified, with tobacco from different farms, all of them owned by the Garcias. 

“The wrapper is very similar, same seed, but it’s darker,” said Jaime Garcia, standing in his Miami-area headquarters and showing off a prototype of the box and the cigars. He suggested the cigars would be a bit stronger than the traditional Flor de Las Antillas, calling the strength of this limited-edition “medium plus.”

Only 5,000 boxes are slated for production, or 60,000 cigars in total. The Garcia family, owners of My Father, have yet to determine pricing. 

Flor de Las Antillas has been an exceptional performer in Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Insider blind tastings. Over the brand’s 10-year history, we have awarded it 17 scores in the 90s, and only six in the 80s (five of those were 89-point-scores.) The highest score it’s ever received was 96 points, for the Toro, when it was named Cigar of the Year. The brand literally translates as “flower of the Antilles,” an homage to the Garcias' birthplace of Cuba, the largest of the Caribbean Sea’s Antillean islands.
