Nestor Miranda - Special Selection Coffee Break- For a few years, Mr. Miranda has made Don Lino cigars, and his company, Miami Cigars, distributes La Aurora. So the man has connections and knows a thing or two about the business. In 2009 he stepped from behind the curtain and put a cigar on showcase for the world to enjoy. The Special Selection, Coffee Break vitola was named to Cigar Aficianado's Top 25 of 2009.
The Special Selection is said to be the personal cigar of Mr. Miranda. Supposedly he would hand these to friends as gifts years before they were offered to the public. Even though Miranda had the Don Lino brand on which he could have easily launched a new cigar; he must've felt he had a product worthy of putting his signature on.
The "Coffee Break" size is a Petit Robusto - 4.5" by 50 gauge - an awesome name for a cigar in my opinion. Too many cigar names are lame or just plain boring, but the Coffee Break is the type of name that could have you smoking it on name alone. I admit I first smoked it because I like the way it sounded. I didn't have much time and was looking for a quick tasty smoke.
