Nestor Miranda Special Selection: Nestor Miranda Special Selection Super Toro Oscuro   $126.99

Also a Don Pepin Garcia blend made in Esteli, Nicaragua are the Special Selection line. These are said to be the line that Nestor Miranda would personally hand out to friends and family. These are expertly handcrafted from a blend of extensively aged tobaccos from Honduras, Nicargua and Costa Rica, with a Nicargauan binder and Oscuro wrapper. The Nestor Miranda Special Selection Super Toro is a medium to full bodied cigar with a rich and woody flavor, tinged with notes of coffee and a touch of sweetness on the finish.

KRISTOFF LIGERO MADURO TORPEDO

Size: 6.5 x 52

 Dominican-made cigars.

60% Ligero to the blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos

This cigar was a real disappointment.  When I first started smoking these I really enjoyed them.  The current examples demonstrate poor bunching (unequal softness) and a very disjointed and sour taste that is unpleasant.

We smoke an unbanded surprise from Eddie DeJong of Vanderburgh Humidors.
