Nestor Miranda Art Deco Review

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo

Filler: Nicaraguan and Dominican

Price: $7.00

A couple months ago, my local shop had an event for Miami Cigar Co. They had a buy one get one free deal, with a limit of one per customer. The free cigar they gave out was the Art Deco. I had never had it before that day so I figured, “Free cigar? Why not?” So my father and I both bought a cigar from Miami Cigar Co, and each got a free one of these. Well he didn’t want his because he only smokes mild cigars. So I saved his to do this review on.

The cigar itself looks very well constructed. The corojo wrapper is a chocolate shade with an earthy aroma to it. The cap is perfectly flush with the wrapper, and there are no big veins throughout this cigar. The cigar itself is very solid so I know it’s going to be a good hour long stick.

Nestor Miranda Dominicano Coffee Break Oscuro Review

Wrapper: Dominican Oscuro

Filler: Nicaraguan

Price: $6.00 - $7.00

Having smoked and enjoyed several other Nestor Miranda cigars, when my local cigar shop got these sticks in, I had to get one and give it a try. I was immediately pulled towards the oscuro because, oscuro wrappers are one of my favorites.  The wrapper was dark brown and oily. There were a few thick veins, but they never altered the burning pattern at all. Before I lit up the stick,  it had a sweet smell reminiscent of chocolate.

As I lighted the cigar, the initial flavor was quite harsh, very spicy. But right after about five puffs or so, the spiciness went away and I started getting the hints of coffee. The coffee flavor was lingering throughout my mouth. After about a half inch or so, the flavor became very earthy. The earth and coffee flavor combined for a very smooth and creamy palate.
