MARCH, 3, 2010
The long anticipated Nestor Miranda Collection Dominicano has arrived!
A new line under the Nestor Miranda Collection label from Miami Cigar & Company brings to fruition a collaboration that began almost nine months ago, between Nestor Miranda, Pepin Garcia and his My Father Cigar Company and Guillermo Leon’s La Aurora S. A.
So a few weeks ago on Twitter the person who handles the account for Gran Habano Cigars reached out to me and asked if I would like to be on a tasting panel for the pre-release of the Azteca which is their new Maduro. Having liked the cigars produced by them in the past I jumped on board. I smoked one the day they arrived and this is the 3rd one I am smoking. The good news is that I have been reaching for these cigars not letting them sit and dreading reviewing them. Just how much do I like them, well there is only one way to find out… Come inside and read more

The other night I was at Cigar Inn in NYC when I saw Pete Johnson of Tatuaje tweet that he was in New Jersey. After trying to find out if he was at a store or an event I pretty much gave up. I headed home and was ready to call it a night. That is until he called me out in a tweet..

The Tobacos Baez cigars are named for the small town where Jose Pepin Garcia was born. Baez, Cuba is in the center of the country and you would be amazed at how many cigar names come from the small towns of Cuba. Pulling up a map on Google shows a lot of names we all recognize.
The Tobacos Baez Serie H is produced at Pepin Industrial Park in Nicaragua at the El Rey De Los Habanos Cigar Factory.
