The line can be found with two different wrappers. One version has a Rosado and the other a Maduro wrapper, both from Nicaragua. The cigars smoke for this review are the Maduro.

The cigar is perfectly manufactured. Well filled, with no soft spots. The wrapper is oily and rough, with slight veins.
Nestor Miranda Special Selection Coffee Break: the cold draw is sweet and delivers notes of cocoa and coffee. The opening brings nutty and spicy notes to the palate.
The first third sees the nutty notes as the main character; the aromas of leather, tobacco and white pepper build them. The base is sweet and creamy. The strength is medium (3/5).
In the second third, the nutty notes get even richer. The leather and tobacco aromas are now beside ripe fruits and earth. Going on, cocoa and coffee get developed aswell. The white pepper is always well present in the aftertaste. The strength slightly increases (3,5/5).
The final third doesn’t have any changes to the aroamatic palatte. The earthy notes appear more frequently. The base stays sweet and creamy, with white pepper still in the aftertaste. The strength reaches a full level (4,5/5).
Overall a great cigar. The construction is perfect, with a solid ash and an even burn. The smoke is meaty. The aromas play well together, creating a very harmonious smoke. Well balanced and complex.
