Dominicano Coffee Break

Skywalker · 07-06-2010, 05:17 PM

Nestor Miranda Cigars
Dominicano Coffee Break
Rosado

Origin : Dominican Republic
Wrapper : Nicaraguan
Binder : Nicaraguan
Filler : Nicaraguan

I picked a couple of these up at a B&M in Pinole CA. They were $4.50 each. I figured they were worth a shot!

The construction is near perfect with a dark glossy wrapper. The pre-draw was easy but not too easy. The aroma on the light was aromatic and
smelled a lot like coffee with a hint of spice. I paired this with iced coffee.

The first 1/4 offered a lot of good coffee and wood flavor with a bitter finish. I didn't mind the bitterness at all. I figured if it remained, no big deal.

After the first 1/4 the bitter finish subsided, giving way to a more creamy finish. The coffee and coca flavor really started getting more pronounced.
I like a cigar that shows complexity and changes up!

After the 1/2 way point I started getting a spicy finish! This was very pleasant with my coffee. This was a very good way to conclude the experience.
I would rather end with spice than to start with it.

Total smoke time: 1 hour
Construction/Appearance: 9 out of 10
Flavor Balance: 9 out of 10 (Nice complexity!)
Strength: Medium
Over all experience: 9 out of 10
Value: At $4.50 per stick, I would say very good value!

Thanks for the review Dice... I saw these at Tower.

Wait are these the same as the Nestor Miranda Coffee Breaks? Just with another band?

Thanks for the review MOBD. I enjoyed the one I smoked but preferred the Oscuro much more. I wish I'd paid only $4.50 per stick!
