Have you smoked Reserva MiraFlor by Guillen Cigars

I told Andy I would smoke one on Sunday. I couldnt wait.
Today I huddled out in the shed and lit up a Reserva MiraFlor Robusto.

I'll preface this mini review to say that I really dont have expert taste buds. in fact, they're not very great at all! (but I do nose smoke a little).

Pre-light draw was excellent. not loose, not tight, just right

The first puff: WOW!
most often when I light up a cigar, especially one that doesnt come with a hefty price tag, the first puff is a bit harsh from the lighting.... NO THIS ONE. I immediately picked out the creamy coffee and cocoa undertones.

First third - mmm YEAH, good stuff! creamy smoke, still getting those wonderful flavorful undertones that I usually can't pick out. (bear in mind we're not talking Drew Estates Java or anything, this is NOT a flavored cigar, just a flavorFULL cigar!)

Second third - About the same as the first.

Final third - I had to put it down a shade early. The cold weather was begining to take its toll about halfway through and I had to puff too often to keep it lit, so it got harsh a little earlier than it should or would have indoors.

all in all, a WONDERFUL smoke, I'm very happy, far far far better than many of the $6 sticks I've had. I concur that Andy's on to something

Received A Robusto size from Andrew(ScottishSMoker) at the YBOR herf, finally had a chance to light it up last night.

I suck at reviews just so all you know.

Construction was good nice prelight draw.

For the flavor pretty much stayed the same throughout the smoke, real mild nutty, chocolate flavors. Little to no pepper until the last third of the smoke. And no burn issues at all with the whole smoke.

I will say this was a great smoke a bit mild for me but I would gladly recommend and keep some in the Humi.
