Press Release: Nestor Miranda Collection Introduces 1989
“The Nestor Miranda Collection Introduces 1989”
Miami, FL…29 Apr…Honouring Miami Cigar & Company’s founding in 1989, the Nestor Miranda Collection presents, 1989.
A beautifully blended combination of Nicaraguan tobaccos, the cigar was blended and is being manufactured by My Father Cigar Corp. It was inspired by Nestor Miranda who described to Pepin Garcia the particular flavour and body he was looking for “…that can be sold at a very reasonable price point, in deference to the prevailing economic conditions.” The cigars will sell for $5.00.
“While we do not have any cigars in the Nestor Miranda Collection that are expensive, we wanted to offer an excellent smoke at a very reasonable price point. It has become obvious that smokers, like everyone else, these days, are seeking to restrain their spending,” Rene J. Castaneda, Miami Cigar & Company Vice President said. With the continued success of the Special Selection; the recent introduction of the Dominicano and now the 1989 more or less completes the Nestor Miranda Collection. With a cigar for every smoker’s preference and pocketbook.
A satifying blend of rich, aromatic and flavour filled Nicarauguan tobaccos, from Estelí and Jalapa, the Nestor Miranda Collection 1989 comes in three (3) sizes:
Robusto 5 x 50
Toro 6 x 50
Torpedo 6-1/8 x 52
The Nestor Miranda Collection 1989, like all other cigars in the Collection is made with two distinct wrappers. A Rosado, for those preferring a medium bodied smoke, and Oscuro to satisfy the taste of those seeking a medium to full bodied cigar.
The 1989 will make its appearance in tobacco shops starting 1 May.

Ybor City Cigar Factories
Tom Ufer, the Tampa Cigar Examiner, has begun an interesting series of articles that profiles all the different cigar factories that once were located in Ybor City (there’s only one left that still makes cigars). With a blend of historical references and a look at what some of those buildings are being used for nowadays, one is owned by the Church of Scientology, this is an interesting series of articles. The pictures, look below for an example, are also great – a glimpse back into the past.

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I would just like to take this time to thank each and everyone one of you who have stopped by to read about my thoughts on cigars.
Now go and enjoy some turkey, your time with loved ones and, if you get some time, enjoy a great cigar or two! 
World’s Longest Cigar
A Floridian created the world’s longest cigar last Saturday when he built a cigar measuring over 180 feet. Now, I’m sure some of you are saying that this is a pointless endeavor and that this guy should be worried about more important things; like creating tasty cigars in a more manageable vitola.
You scoffers are obviously overlooking the buzz this guy is creating for his brand, which means more sales for this guy. You would also be missing the point that it’s just cool doing something like this. After all, if you can’t be the best, you might as well be the longest.
From the story:
“We still here and we still making big things,” said Wallace Reyes, the man who hand-rolls cigars at the Ybor City Museum almost every day, and the man behind the world record attempt. “So why not bring the worlds longest cigar to the cigar capital of the world?”
Over the past few weeks, Mr. Reyes rolled super-long cigars sections in preparation for Saturday’s record attempt.
***snip***
On Saturday morning, the sections were joined over a several hour period and the final adjudication was made later that day.
Before the announcement, Reyes said, “We’re gonna have a brand new record!”
Fortunately, his hard work paid off, and the record was his.
And if you are one of those people who do not believe everything you read then here is video proof!
That is one BIG cigar!
Winston Churchill Cigar
Everyone knows that Winston Churchill loved his cigars and, I think, many people admire him partially because of his ferocious appetite for the good life, which included lots of liquor in addition to the cigars. Now, have you ever wanted to know what one of Sir Winston Churchill’s cigars would cost today? Wonder no more!
The cigar has now been valued at £800 by an expert during the filming of the Antiques Roadshow.
Student Christian Williams, 33, was given the cigar when he was just 12 by his grandad Ronald Williams, a WWII veteran.
At over six inches long the cigar has never been touched by its owner, who keeps it safe in a sturdy wooden box.
It was taken from a historic meeting between Churchill and the other Allied leaders at the famous Casablanca Conference.
Based off current exchange rates that means the cigar is worth something like $1 million – that’s an expensive cigar! But, based off the looks of it, I don’t think anyone is ever going to be smoking this cigar due to the poor conditions it was stored in.
Winston Churchill D-Day Cigar
Still a cool cigar and an interesting story.
