Sunday evening I decided to sit on the Porch
of Wisdom and have a stogie! Lately the Glacier and I have been buying
cigars like firearms. We figured having over 300 cigars each was a bit
excessive considering there are several in our collection we haven't even
smoked yet! So we made a pact to start smoking and rating all the brands
we haven't had the pleasure of trying. This past Sunday I decided to try
my Casa Fernandez Miami robusto.
Casa Fernandez Miami is a 100% Nicaraguan
Puro utilizing a variety of authentic Cuban seeds and "AA" tobacco
leaf from Aganorsa. A unique super-premium cigar, the Miami exudes perfect
balance, complexity, aroma and flavor. Cigar Aficionado rates the
Miami a 90.
The cigar was easy to get started.
Right off the bat I got a hint of it's full flavored rep. It
started out bitter and leathery. I've had a lot of Nicaraguan cigars that
have started similar to this. The ash was brittle and fell off easy and
had a dirty gray color. The burn was uneven which can be attributed to
the cigar being a little wet. I had it stored close to my humidifier and
I think I should have let it sit out awhile. Midway through the cigar I
got a lot of nutty notes with hints of coffee. The draw wasn't
particularly great and again this might be attributed to a bad batch?
I thought the Miami was ok! I have never tried a
Casa Fernandez cigar prior to this. I have seen a few adds for their brand and I was at Binny's a few months back and decided to grab one to sample. Like I said I thought it was ok but nothing to write home about! But don't let my opinion dissuade ya, crab one for your humidor and light it up and see for yourself!
Cheers!
