Nestor Miranda Special Selection Oscuro Lancero

Wasn't expecting to review this at all, so no pics; but it was so good I had to write down some quick notes. This was generously gifted by Barry at Miami Cigar.

The construction on this is superb; the dark wrapper is smooth as silk and the fragrance pre-light is of clove and other sweet spices, with a dry cocoa undertone.

The first third is smooth, with pecan notes on a sweet, almost caramel background. Around the middle, it settles into assertive, earthy flavors of aged tobacco and some mild pepper. It remains like that until the end, but there's enough subtle nuance to keep it interesting, although other flavors remain in the background, like faint shadows.

All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable cigar in one of my favorite vitolas. If you live in Miami or are visiting and find yourself in Kendall, check out Cigar 1. Great selection, honest prices and a friendly staff.
