    This review comes courtesy of Sebastian Fuentes, our reader from Argentina.

    The Francisco de Miranda cigars were introduced in the Argentinean market in 1999 by a group of young entrepreneurs who are passionate for the smoke of good quality cigars to satisfy a segment of young smokers who were demanding a fine cigar within an accessible price.

    The cigars are hand-made in the factory located in Santiago de Caballeros from four years vintage tobacco leaves grown in the Cibao Valley with a mixture of Olor Dominicano, San Vicente and Piloto Cubano tobacco selected by the master blender Victor de la Cruz.

    The Francisco de Miranda Robusto Bordeaux is a premium cigar made with the highest standards and a strict quality control.

    Here is the review of it.

    Appearance : [rating:4/5]
    Shiny and silky wrapper with no imperfections, balanced weight. The Connecticut leaves give the cigar a smooth appearance without any marks or veins. The band with the brand logo underlines the quality of the cigar.

    Construction : [rating:4/5]
    Compact structure, firmly packed with an excellent termination and a steady burn, the cigar gives an abundant amount of smoke.

    Flavor : [rating:4/5]
    Woody taste, balanced smoke with a pleasant aroma. Smooth blend, aromatic and refined, the flavor improves with a nice glass of a red Argentinean wine.

    Value : [rating:5/5]
    Excellent price/quality ratio and very accessible for its money value.

    Overall Rating : [rating:4/5]
    Outstanding. I personally smoke this cigar regularly since 2006 and I enjoy every time the quality of a product that never fails. This Robusto is a great choice for beginners and an excellent option for experienced smokers. I offer them to all of my smoking friends and they are always delighted. I think every smoker should always keep a few Francisco de Miranda in their humidors.

      I’ll be in Argentina about a month from now. I will definitely have to give this one a try. Thanks for the review!

      Looking for a decent smoke in Buenos Aires that does not consider the somewhat pricey Cubans – I came across this cigar in a local cigar shop just on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

      A good smoke – typical of Dominican Republic produce and not too heavy on the palate. Well constructed and delightful aroma (although the mother-in-law did not agree).

      Would recommend this as your everyday indulgence and with it being well priced (locally) – I will be taking a few back to the UK…

      Excellent cigar. Agreeable Blend who allows to enjoy it to plenary meeting. Unbeatable armed, at a height of the most famous cigars. Constant quality, there are no differences between the different games. Highly competitive price. Advisable 100 %.

      Interesting looking cigar. I don’t know if I would pick it up if I saw it. Your review makes it sound good though.

      Not familiar with this brand. I’ll keep my eyes open for it and give it a try. Thanks for the review, well done.

    • jpmarat

      Very good cigar, well constructed with a raisonable price. Personally I prefer the double corona, the best choice of the brand.

    • Stephen P

      Kind of a blotchy wrapper. I haven’t seen them before. I may have to take a peek for them. Thanks for taking the time to review them.

    • DeaDMaN

      The wrapper, want to try this one only because of the wrapper. It is too beautiful.

      Sebastian, are there any flavors besides wood? Maybe some hardly noticeable notes?

    • tobacmon

      Looking at the wrapper it looked a little sickly/Pale — Not clean/clear. Sounds like one for the sampling — Nice review!
