Cuba Aliados Miami Edition

I saw this company on Facebook, but never saw their cigars much. So, I decided to try them out.

This cigar is made with a Habano wrapper, Dominican Republic binder, and Nicaraguan filler. The wrapper was like a fine velvet and there were no soft spots. This cigar was made in Miami, Florida as well.

This cigar had a nice cedar flavor to it, accompanied with a nice spicy walnut flavor. A nice nutty flavor came into play as well. These flavors were very consistent and balanced. All of them had a nice peppery undertone to them, and hints of leather, and cocoa. At times you could get hints of a light coffee flavor. The aftertaste is nutty as well. It stays very even, and it just has a nice mild tone to it.

The burn was decent. Had to correct it a few times, but I was outside and the wind picked up, so I will let that one slide. The thing that bothered me was the ash. It looked terrible and all split up. The draw was a little firm, but you could still get a nice smoke.

This cigar (I had the robusto) runs about $7. It is $8 for a toro and $9 for a Churchill. For a nice 30 minute smoke, that is not bad. This cigar did not pop out as anything special, but it is unique in the flavoring and how even it stays. I would say give this one a try. Goes great with a nice cup of tea (heavier teas may overpower it, so keep it more medium strength), or a nice medium blend cup of coffee.

Final Grade: A-

Thank you to Reyes Family Cigars for sending me a sample.
