Today was not a good day! I somehow lost taste in the evening (now back). This cigar tasted very good, but not great. I will have to retry this cigar soon. Also, minor construction issues.
It's well worth trying again. For whatever reasons, I have found it to be a cigar that seems to reveal its pleasures over multiple smokes. I remember liking my first, but not really understanding why. After smoking more and more of them, though, I found my palate really opening up to all its flavors.
 
I have one more in the humidor... that’s a good news ?

...my man. Just tried one of the Boondock Saints late afternoon; good flavor but heck of a tight construction. The Black Label series more my jam, but enjoy most everything out of Oveja Negra.

It seems like their various lines are hit or miss. I haven't liked the Boondocks, the Nocturnes, or the NBK. Absolutely love the Killer Bee line, Bishops Blend, and Morphine. I have yet to try Emilios.

That sucks! My Father cigars really benefit from a good rest imo. The first one I tried was just OK, but after 6 months in the humidor it really delivered.

Like @danimalia said, My Father takes a while to grow on some people. I hope you're second one is more pleasurable.
