Team Cigar Review: Nestor Miranda Grand Reserve 2024

I thought the initial third of the Nestor Miranda Grand Reserve 2024 provided some good flavors and engaging combinations. The second third was flat and linear and some more interesting notes returned for the last third. Ignoring the price point of the Nestor Miranda Grand Reserve 2024, I think the overall flavor delivery was lacking for a limited release. I can't see myself smoking another one of the 2024 release, although I'm sure I will try the 2025 release to see how it compares.

It was felt that it was the right moment to revive the Nestor Miranda Grand Reserve, in time for the company’s 35-year anniversary.

Team Cigar Review: Nestor Miranda NM80 Ruky

Almost good. Almost the bride. But still a bridesmaid. The core earthy profile of dirt grit and construction paper is a good baseline of a quality traditional cigar. But it needs to build off these components. The first third managed to do so by adding spice and some stone fruit, but the latter two thirds failed. At day's end, almost doesn't warrant a high likelihood of a revisit of the Nestor Miranda NM80 Ruky for me.

Team Cigar Review: Nestor Miranda Special Selection Coffee Break

The vitola name of Coffee Break is a bit of a misnomer for this cigar as it smoked quite slow. This is a nice reintroduction of the Nestor Miranda Special Selection Coffee Break and one I'd have no problem smoking more of. If you're a fan of some strength and a nice oak focused flavor profile, then it's worth your time to seek these out.

Team Cigar Review: Nestor Miranda Collection Corojo Robusto

It's been a little while since I tasted such full flavors of creamy bread (personal favorite note of mine). This note being surrounded by decent spice and earthiness made for a good, laid back smoking experience.
