Have you smoked Reserva MiraFlor by Guillen Cigars

AndyMadera · 11-03-2008, 03:31 PM

Hey guys, I know now there a list of folks that have smoked my cigars Reserva MiraFlor. I would actually like to start making a list to see who has smoked them and a quick comment on them if you don't mind. This would also give you all who HAVEN"T tried them yet a chance to hear about them. If you have any questions about them please feel free to PM me or post them here as well.

Please answer these questions if you have smoked one of our cigars and don't mind sharing.

Quick comments on construction/draw/flavor?
Would you recommend/smoke again?

no but i had a dream about them

markem · 11-03-2008, 06:25 PM

Andy gave me a couple to try at a Stumptown herf along with a few other Stumptown regulars. The general consensus was that they had a Padron flavor profile something like a cross between a 3000 and a 64.

Lots of chocolate and coffee flavors. The contruction was superb and the burn flawless. I've since gotten some of the churchills from Andy and they are the same imprecable contruction.

If you like the Padrons, then I strongly recommend this cigar. Those that know me know that I don't do many NC cigars outside of the Padron, Tatuaje, and Illusione lines, but I'd be happy to smoke these any time.

The feedback that I have from other regulars at the Shilo cigar bar is that they are good, in fact, damn good. I think Andy has a winner on his hands.

I have never even heard of the Reserva MiraFlor before, but after hearing Marks coments I would really like to try some. Where can you get these at?

Great smoke. When I become gainfully employed again, I will buy more. Except for those 6x60s I was talking to Andy about. Got to go dig for more change in the seat cushions.

awsmith4 · 11-04-2008, 10:45 AM

I smoked my first on Sunday after Andrew (OP) traded me some of my smokes for his. It was a robusto and it was fantastic. Just like Vstrommark said, lots of chocolate and coffee flavors also a good bit of cream and and another good flavor I couldn't quite pinpoint. And also as Vstrommark said, absolutely perfect construction and draw. Definitely worth a purchase.

11-06-2008, 08:11 PM

Hey all, So I am not as good of a source as a lot of the other guys, I have just started smoking cigars in the last month and a half, but I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar. I got to try one at the Stumptown herf and ended up buying a box. As far as I can tell this has been a good purchase on my part because every one that I have sent one to or let try has liked them. So if your looking for a good stick I would suggest trying this stick.
as for the flavors of the stick, you can see what all the above have said and I can say even a nub like myself can taste these flavors.

Dooge · 11-08-2008, 11:01 AM

I know this is incredibly delayed and I'm sorry Andrew but things have been hectic.

I got a 5er from Andrew as a gift and they were incredible smokes. The cigars were full of flavour and had incredible draws. I highly recommend everyone to try at least one of his cigars when you get an opportunity.

livwire68 · 11-08-2008, 11:32 AM

I am not one who usually picks out flavors, but this smoke I picked out coco/nutty flavors. Seems to be a well made and sturdy cigar. The ash did not easily come off, burn was great as well as draw. Nice stick! Maybe one day I will get some more.

GKitty · 11-09-2008, 10:11 PM

I feel honored to be able to get to know this line at its beginning. As someone with a fairly limited exposure and a small scope of reference, I feel underqualified to post an in depth review. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar and want to add my enthusiastic support to what I'm certain will be a company to keep an eye on.

I usually enjoy mild-medium cigars and this was just my kind of smoke. Flavorful without being overpowering and lots of smoke to play with. (I'm working on learning how to blow smoke rings.) Nice nic buzz without knocking my on my a$$.

Miraflor has won themselves another fan.

jquirit · 11-11-2008, 09:54 AM

At one of our herfs, Andy gifted me one of his MiraFlors (think it was the Toro). Comparing notes with the other Stumptown herfers, we agreed that they had very similar tastes and elements to a Padron 3000 Maddie (and PAM64). I also felt that it tasted similarly to the Joya de Nicaragua Antano (but minus the heavy nicotine rush), which is one of my current cigars I enjoy. Didn't have any burn issues with the cigar (other than ones that were self-inflicted) and didn't believe that it would from the pre-light inspection of the cigar (nice wrapper, solid cigar that was bundled and rolled not too firmly but not too soft, pre-light draw was easy with a nice bit of resistance when cut with my trusty Palio cutter).

Definitely would smoke more of these again.

hotreds · 11-18-2008, 07:13 PM

Got the fiver/sixer yesterday, and was requested to smoke ROTT. Well, I did let it rest for about 12 hours. It was delish! It was a toro, I believe. The draw was easy, the construction excellent with an even burn and long ash. The aroma was pleasant, and the taste of mocha and chocolate. I gave it an "A" in my black book. I look forward to lighting up another after it has a little time to recoup from it's almost cross country trip in the cold!
