Miami, FL— Director of Miami Cigar & Co., Nestor Miranda, is undoubtedly one of the most iconic figures in the cigar industry. Having built a successful company and a number of respective brands from the ground up, the company announced the release of the limited edition NM80 cigar brand to commemorate Nestor Miranda’s 80th birthday at this year’s 2023 PCA convention. Only 500 boxes of three unique sizes were created. Additionally, Miami Cigar & Co. VP and Nestor’s son-in-law, Jason Wood, teamed up with My Father Cigar and secretly created the blend before presenting it to Nestor.
The NM80 is a Nicaraguan puro created with exceptional leaf from My Father Cigar’s vast tobacco stocks. The tobacco was carefully chosen by the My Father team with Nestor’s palate in mind. The cigar is medium-bodied, elegant and delivers a very refined smoking experience.
“I really wanted to create a cigar that Nestor could be proud of,” said Jason. “The entire project was tailor-made for Nestor; the vitolas, blend, and packaging all have that Miranda elegance that makes him the man that we all love. ”
The Nestor Miranda NM80 selection is presented in boxes of 10 cigars as follows:
Ruky: 5 5/8” x 48-52 figurado – MSRP $18/cigar
Lancero: 7½” x 38 – MSRP $19/cigar
Danno: 7” x 56 – MSRP $20/cigar
“2023 is truly a special year for the company and for me personally,” said Nestor. “I look forward to celebrating with my friends, colleagues, and customers!” CA
