Cuban Cigar

Published on 2012-03-26 15:36:00

I have heard that Cuban cigars were superior than any other cigar in the world at one time, but that's not the case anymore due to various reasons; however, even with the question of personal taste there are much better tasting and looking cigars being made due to the blending of different tobaccos coming out of the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Brazil, and Nicaragua, and at about 1/2 to 1/4 the price. The cultivation process of tobacco outside Cuba has improved, so is it really a myth that Cuba [..] > read more

Casa Miranda Cigar Review

The Casa Miranda by Miami Cigar & Company is a tough cigar with a slow burn rate.

Flavor wise, I would say medium to full. The reason this cigar is stronger is contributed to the aging process. If I smoked it last year, it will yield different results and not as strong. Anyway the cigar is well constr [..] > read more
