Miami Sampler Box of all 5 Medina 1959 Miami Edition cigars. These special cigars are hand made at the Cuban Crafters Miami cigar factory by some of the world's most talented Cuban cigar rollers. Medina 1959 Miami Edition cigars have that special and elegant taste that only pre-1959 Cuban cigars had. That's because they are made under the watchful eye of Manuel Medina, 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 yells quality and elegance. While it's beautiful to look it, it's even better to smoke.
The medium bodied smoke is filled with delightful tastes of toasted nuts, mild spices and smooth waves of butterscotch with sweet malt cream that coats 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 that he remembers when he first started rolling cigars in Cuba. Each Sampler box brings 5 distinct cigars of 5 different sizes. You get 1 Double Corona (6 1/2 X 64); 1 Torpedo (6 1/2 X 52); 1 Churchill (7 X 50); 1 Lancero (7 1/2 X 38); 1 Robusto (5 X 50). Every single cigar has its own register number. The 5 cigars are hand-packed in a cedar box that is also made by hand in Miami. THERE IS A LIMIT OF 1 SAMPLER PACK PER ORDER.
1959 was a year of luxurious self-indulgence, romance and when Fidel Castro changed the course of history in Cuba. It was also when Medina started rolling cigars. He eventually became one of the most celebrated Master Rollers in Cuba. Manuel Medina played a formidable role in Cuba's cigar history. He started as a roller at the H. Upmann factory in Cuba. His talents were quickly recognized and he eventually became the factory's Master Cigar Maker, overseeing hundreds of master cigar rollers. He was then promoted and became the Master Cigar Maker in Cuba's Davidoff factory. His talents were showcased throughout Europe, leading him to travel extensively. During one of those trips, he decided to seek freedom instead of success. Medina made Miami, Florida his new home. He is now in charge of cigar production at Cuban Crafters' Miami factory. Some of the Master Rollers who make the Medina 1959 Miami Edition cigars even worked for him in Cuba.
Medina 1959 Miami Edition re-creates the pre-Castro Cuban cigars, when Cubans were considered the best in the world. These cigars are unquestionably captivating. Each one is hand made by a decorated Cuban born roller in Miami.
MEDIUM-BODIED. They start out with delightful tastes of toasted nuts, mild spices and cream. You will quickly sense the waves of butterscotch with sweet malt cream that coats your mouth. The finish is an experience in itself as the complexity of all the tastes harmoniously merge.

Cuban Crafters Medina 1959 Miami Edition:
[United States: available in 5 sizes]
Unlike most of the Cuban Crafters line, the Medina 1959 Miami Edition is made in Miami by a team of 10 rollers, so availability is limited. This blend has won strong notices and it’s easy to understand why.
It is medium in body, with a spicy aroma and a rich, caramelized taste at the start. Very smooth, it burns evenly and while measured and precise, is also relaxed and satisfying.
A note of spice comes in on the finish at halfway and these two elements continues through in a balanced way to the finish. It’s not overpowering, but has lots of flavor and a modicum of subtlety, especially in the second half.
It’s easy to spot the Medina 1959 Miami Edition, as it has one of the largest bands on any cigar anywhere, including a second band with an individual registration number. All five sizes are presented in full-cedar boxes of 25, with retail pricing at $8.00-$9.60 each before local taxes.
Overall grade: A-: Excellent.
