Quick Smoke: Reserva MiraFlor Toro
Sunday, July 26th, 2009Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.
This cigar isn’t widely available but one that’s worth checking out when you spot it. I could find little definitive information online, other than that it’s rolled with all Nicaraguan tobaccos. The Reserva MiraFlor is a tasty medium-bodied cigar with nice touches of cocoa, earthiness, and a little cedar. Very little pepper or spice. While it looks good, I suffered through poor burns in the two sampled I smoked. I paid $6.80 for the Toro (5.5 x 54).
Verdict = Buy.
I smoked a churchill this past November. It was very young, but the flavors were nice. Very subtle flavors of wood, coffee, dark chocolate, and a sweet floral. There was also an occasional grassy flavor that I didn’t enjoy, but it was probably the age of the cigars. I’m glad to see they are getting noticed.
[...] chanced across the Reserva Miraflor at a local shop and wrote about it in a Quick Smoke this summer. You’d have to be pretty hard-hearted not to pull for a small operation like this. [...]
