Cigar for Coffee Break

 

Short cigars are just as full of flavor as any big ring smokes.  An example is the   Nestor Miranda Coffee Break, which I just had the pleasure of smoking.  

 

The cigar has a nice wrap, not loose, not too tight, just perfect. There is some weight to the stick, which is nice.  It has a nice balanced feel in your hand and between your fingers.  

The first light was flavorful but not over powering. It held the promise of great taste and it delivered. There was a taste of leather, and some spice all the way throughout. About half way through, some almond began to appear. 

No pepper flavor in this smoke.  Pepper is good in the right blend but not here.  Thank goodness, the blender is Jose Pepin Garcia who knows how to put together a great cigar.  This cigar was smooth throughout - and yes - delicious.

All the flavors blended well and actually reminded me of a really well made butternut squash soup. WHAT? You may say. But yeah, it was that smooth and creamy. The burn was even throughout and the ash was firm and long. The entire smoke was very pleasant.  It is one that I look forward to enjoying again in the future.

The size also makes it perfect for when you do not have two hours or more to sit and enjoy a cigar but want to enjoy a good smoke. It actually took me a little over an hour to finish the stick and that is without putting it down. So, if you do enjoy it during a coffee break – better plan on longer than fifteen minutes.
