These limited edition Cigars are personally handmade by cigar legend Manuel Medina at the Cuban Crafters Miami cigar factory. Medina is considered one of the world's best cigar makers. His 1959 Miami Edition Cigar has that special and elegant taste that only pre-1959 Cuban cigars had. That's because Manuel Medina knows cigars. He's a legend in the history of Cuban cigars. From the dry Cuban-seed tobacco bunching to the precise blending of different tobacco leaves, this cigar boasts quality and elegance. While it's beautiful to look it, it's even better to smoke.
The mild to medium bodied smoke is filled with delightful tastes of toasted nuts, mild spices and smooth waves of butterscotch with sweet malt cream that coat your mouth and keeps you hoping it never ends. They can only be compared to the pre-Castro Cuban cigars that magically grabbed your attention at the start and kept you satisfied until the very end. The Cuban-seed Habano long-filler and binder are aged for 6 years and the super-premium Cuban-seed wrapper is aged for at least 5 years. This combination of tobacco was blended by Manuel Medina to match the exact taste of the cigars he rolled at the H. Upmann and Davidoff factory in Cuba. The Robusto is 5 inches long with a ring gauge of 50. Every cigar has its own register number and is hand-packed in a cedar wrap, and then into an aluminum cigar tube to preserve its rich taste.
