Miami Cigar Co. 25th Anniversary Dominican Toro – Rough Cut Cigar Review

Miami Cigar Co 25th

Today we offer the Stogie Press Rough Cut cigar review notes on the Miami Cigar Co. 25th Anniversary Toro – San Andres cigar.

Introduced in 2014 to celebrate Nestor Miranda’s 25 years in the business the Miami Cigar Co 25th Anniversary came in 2 different blends.

  • Nicaraguan – Mexican San Andrés wrapper with Nicaraguan fillers.
  • Dominican – Connecticut broadleaf wrapper with Brazilian, Dominican, and Nicaraguan fillers

Both are available in 1 vitola – a 5 1/4 x 54 Toro and packed in an individual coffin.

I sampled the Dominican for this review which was gifted to me by my fellow Stogie Press associate Alton Otto.

  • Nice sweet tea and exotic spice pre-light aroma
  • Rugged cigar with prominent veins
  • Very dark maduro wrapper
  • Black and silver band with pale yellow words “Miami Cigar Company”  and “25” below it.
  • Secondary band declares it is the Dominican blend
  • Nelson Miranda Signature on side of band
  • Cold draw has some pepper that grows as you roll it about along with some fruit and a hint of vanilla
  • Roasted nut aroma once ignited – reminds me of streets of NYC on  a summer day
  • Heavy pepper and earth on the Initial puffs
  • I can taste the cold draw fruit  on the side of my tongue
  • A little citrus and a little sweet
  • Decent nasal burn
  • Perfect burn
  • Medium grey ash on a thin char line
  • Pepper settles down after an inch
  • Coffee and with a long nut finish
  • Just a sliver of red pepper to keep that palate awake
  • The draw is perfect and the smoke is full
  • Aroma is pepper spice and nut
  • Ash fell after the first third
  • Perfect burn cone revealed
  • Strength is clocking in around medium to full and building
  • A nice spice is filling in the blend as the pepper has faded
  • The fruit shifts to more of a tangy citrus
  • Strength moves into full as my puff rate slows down by the middle of the second third
  • Aroma moves to floral
  • White pepper evolves at end of second third
  • Picking up anise in final third
