Have you smoked Reserva MiraFlor by Guillen Cigars

markem · 11-03-2008, 05:25 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?

I told Andy that there would be a bunch of people looking once word got out. The only retail place I know that is selling them is the cigar bar at the Northwest restaurant at the Shilo Inn in Portland ((503) 297-2551, ask for the GM, Nate).

Here is a review I found of Andy's cigar as well. None of us that smoked them when I was around had a burn issue, may have been storage/chipping issue with the reviewer. The local price is $6 for this stick. Dunno what the other sizes will be. No one here believes this is a $6 stick.

(not that I'm pushy, but I'd like to see this brand make it - good stuff).

hmmm. Kioki is selling them, Andy?

I just got some more cigars in guys. For those interested I have enough to send out 25 samplers of 5 sticks of mixed sizes. How does $30 with shipping included sound? I can only accept checks or MO at this time. send me a PM for my address and add your name to the list!

I tried my first this past sunday as well, I got the coffee and cocoa flavors, just a hint of pepper, I was really surprised at this stick, Good construction, kinda a light sheen to it, not dry looking. The stick i smoked was the churchill, i believe, and I got mine in a trade with Andy himself!
I have several more but im gonna let them sit a couple weeks to see if the flavors change any!
All in all, yes I would definately buy this !
I think Andy may be on to something here.IMHO!
