Miami Havana

Rolled by hand in the Tabacalera Oliva factory of Esteli, Nicaragua, this cigar is rolled in very limited quantities for the lucky patrons of the Miami-Havana cigar shop in Florida. Luckily for us, we had an inside connection! Sporting an attractive Sumatra wrapper leaf, this little gem of a cigar is robust and full-flavored. A sweet and spicy (sounds like a dish from a Chinese restaurant, doesn't it?) wrapper adds to the complexity of this cigar. Always a difficult shape to roll, this cigar has obviously been touched by experienced hands. There was no consensus as to whether this was a medium or full-bodied cigar, so we'll let you judge for yourself. Some felt it packed enough of a punch to go into the full-bodied category. Others didn't notice their eyes rolling into the backs of their heads, so felt it was medium-bodied. This cigar will only get better with age, so those who aren't in a rush might want to throw it in the humidor for a while.
