Nestor Miranda Special Selection Atlanta Braves Alumni Association Edition Piramides
Yes, the name of name of this special edition cigar is ten words long, and that’s with me omitting mention of the cigar’s oscuro wrapper. These are the problems you face when a special selection adds a special edition, review titles that take up nearly as much space at the cigar review itself. For the […]
