Casa Miranda – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on August 10th, 2011
Casa Miranda Band

One of the latest cigars from Miami Cigar & Company deviates from the norm which is a big risk. The company which is run by Nestor Miranda is known for his relationship with My Father Cigars. The collection which bares Nestor’s signature has long been a favorite of mine especially in the coffee break and lancero sizes. Other cigars include the Art Deco, Dominicano, and the soon to be released Limited Reserve. The latest release, Casa Miranda comes from the famed El Titan de Bronze factory in Litte Havana, Miami, Florida. With the help of Willy Herrera while he was still part of the Titan team Miami Cigar & Company set out to make a cigar that was made in Miami including the boxes.

Does the risk pay off?

Sublimes – Cigar Review

Posted by acigarsmoker on July 6th, 2011
Sublimes Band

When I went into Tobacco Plaza the other day one of the owners that I needed something new to smoke, and he pointed me to today’s cigar. The Sublimes is a stick I never heard of but one of the customers there went on and on about how great of a cigar it is. So I picked up a couple and let them sit in my humidor for a couple of weeks.

According the website, “Having been sold mostly in South Florida since 2004, our decision to go national was the only natural retort to the years of mounting local demand and popularity. Skillfully hand-crafted in Little Havana, Miami, the end result is a cigar boasting a complex array of flavors that come together to produce an excellent medium to full bodied smoke. Sublimes cigars are truly the epitome of taste and excellence.”

On the way home from the Dominican Republic I was thinking of how to approach this weekend in terms of writing. After all some added pressure was put on me as I was referred to a journalist a few times this weekend. I am pretty sure though that word does not really apply to me. [...]

Posted by acigarsmoker on March 10th, 2009

I am not one to bet often, but when I make a wager I tend to be one lucky son of a bitch. Case in point the smoke of the day. About 2 weeks ago the New York Islanders were playing the Buffalo Sabres, and I decided to make a friendly bet with @BradinBuffalo on [...]

Cigar Review: Padilla Signature 1932

Posted by acigarsmoker on March 5th, 2009

The brotherhood of the leaf is something that is not comprehended by those outside our community. We get together at local B&Ms where we bullshit, trade stories, laugh, and exchange cigars. One such place that this happens more than not is Barrister Cigars. This past Tuesday I gave a friend an illusione 88, and Michael [...]
