Miami Cigar & Co. Ships NM80 (Update)

On Feb. 14, 2023—yes, Valentine’s Day—Nestor Miranda celebrated his 80th birthday. Now, the cigar that honors that milestone is shipping to stores.

The NM80 is a new line made for Miami Cigar & Co. by My Father Cigars S.A., the factory that has made previous Nestor Miranda cigars. This particular blend is described as medium-bodied and made entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos. It is offered in three sizes, each of which is limited to 500 boxes per vitola:

• NM80 Ruky (5 5/8 x 48/52) — $18 (Box of 10, $180)
• NM80 Lancero (7 1/2 x 38) — $19 (Box of 10, $190)
• NM80 Danno (7 x 56) — $20 (Box of 10, $200)

“I really wanted to create a cigar that Nestor could be proud of,” said Jason Wood, vice-president of Miami Cigar & Co., in a press release. “The entire project was tailor-made for Nestor, vitolas, blend, and packaging all have that Miranda elegance that makes him the man that we all love.”

Nestor and Miranda, his wife, founded Miami Cigar & Co. in 1989. The company is best known for its popular Tatiana brand of flavored cigars, though it sells premium cigars like the Nestor Miranda Special Selection and Don Lino.
