Miami Cigar & Company has announced Nestor Miranda will be re-releasing the Special Selection line to celebrate their 30th anniversary. The cigar was originally made in the mid-2000's and again will be made at the My Father Cigars factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. The blend uses a Habano Rosado wrapper and comes in "traditional formats" in the $7.00 price range.
"I really enjoyed this cigar. Leather seemed to be the underlying flavor yet never overpowering. The progression through the thirds was balanced with each of the flavors coming to the front for a moment. In the end, I was left with a smoke that kept my interest and allowed the flavors it offered to mesh perfectly." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

"This was a great cigar to smoke. The profile of it was in line with what I like smoking these days. A soft and delicate smoke at time that morphs into something with a deep and rich character. I would recommend this cigar to anyone who like a lighter smoke that builds into some character. A nice find and I would surely smoke another. " -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

·"I'm very conflicted. The burn required constant attention and more relights than I cared to count. The flavors were very good though and I found the profile shifted though out in engaging ways. I would smoke this again to see if the construction issues were a fluke but I would be wary of purchase if the price was high. " -Alan (Eulogy)
