I generally think 5 Vegas are solid good cigars with the Series A being the one I've enjoyed the most. There's something keeping them from the very uppermost shelf and I think it is complexity. With the Miami Churchill I'm thinking "here we go again" regarding the taste: This cigar tastes good, has just a bit of bite, yet isn't particularly complex as it goes…just a really nice aged cedar taste with just a little leather and pepper. It's not nut-like but it has a bit of toasted slightly sweet "bready" taste on ocassion. I would say at about $6 bucks it is solid as it has absolutely no off tastes and is very enjoyable right away without any additional humidor time. Not a grand slam but a a nice triple!

Cigarfan-
Thanks, very interesting. So apparently this is a Garcia cigar, just not the Garcia you’d expect!

Mac and Nudo-
while you’re right that the MSRP is actually more expensive than the Limitada, the fact is that you’re far more likely to pay $3-4 – maybe even less if you get lucky – a stick if you get this off of cigarbid (which is owned by Cigar International).

So while you’re technically correct, for practical purposes this ends up being slightly less expensive than the Limitada.

Can you guys please clarify for me how Miami "fills the gap in between" the other value and premium lines? At $8, Miami appears to be more expensive than the premium Limitada line. Thanks in advance for the clarification.

This blend was actually created by Janny Garcia, Jose's daughter! It's produced under her supervision in their Nicaragua factory — Tabacalera Cubana.

It's my understanding that at least the Classic line, if not the Gold, A, and Limitada as well are made by La Aurora. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me remember were I saw that….
