Today I had the great honor and pleasure of interviewing a legend in the industry, Mr. Nestor Miranda. He was a very interesting interviewee, and his story is an inspiration to us all. To build a cigar company from nothing and have it still going strong twenty years later is a testament to his business sense and work ethic. I hope you all enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed interviewing Nestor.

To the readers of The Weekly Cigar, It saddens me to say that this post marks the end of my cigar blogging career. Over the past months, I have become more and more involved in the cigar industry, and feel as though this involvement could lead many to question my objectivity. I now work in [...]

Good interview. Seems like a guy that would be fun to hang out with for an afternoon. And where the hell can you find those “coffee Break”‘s? I was under the impression those weren’t in production anymore….

Smoke Inn has them. http://www.smokeinn.com/eshop/nestor-miranda.html. I really enjoyed that cigar. Great flavors.
Nestor is one of the great gentlemen in the cigar business. If you get a chance to meet him, I recommend you take it. I also highly recommend the Rosado wrapped Lancero from the Nestor Miranda Collection, nothing short of excellent!
Great interview. I loved hearing how he started then had to re-start the company! Amazing! I would have liked to learn more about his brandy. I have never had one of his cigars and shall have to try and remedy that

Good interview. I got to meet Nestor last month at an event in Pittsburgh. He is a nice a guy in person as he seems in the interview.
Excellent work Johnny! Thanks for sharing.
Oh, and how was the smoke?
It was a great cigar, Matthew. I smoked it down to about 3/4″, which is extremely rare for me.
Great job on the interview. Nestor is a true Gentleman.
Thanks for the interview. I got the opportunity to meet Nestor at IPCPR. He was way over the top in terms of kindness!!
Nice interview, John. I look forward of additional ones.
Thanks for setting it up. Let me know when we can interview Litto.
Great interview! Nestor seems like a really genuine guy
I really enjoy the interviews you’ve been doing more recently. Keep up the good work.
Fascinating. No wonder why he’s been so successful. A real class act.
