It has been a busy couple of weeks and I have found myself running from one event to another. It is during these times that I make the most of my breaks between appointments and relax as best I can to get the energy I need for the next. It keeps me focused and in control. Sometimes my breaks are long enough to sit and enjoy a nice long smoke, but others are short and much like a “coffee break”. With that in mind, I thought I would stop by Santa Barbara Cigars and pick up a Nestor Miranda Coffee Break cigar to enjoy while on the road to my next event!
I love this size of cigar, it has lots of great flavors and a rich body, but a length that meets my schedule and satisfies my palate. I’m smoking the Special Selection Oscuro here, which I find to be on the medium to full bodied side. There is a nice bit of spice, great leather and nutty notes, and earth which meets my mood.
It is interesting, I find, that the busier the week the more specific I get in my cravings as far as flavor and strength are concerned. It is very much mood related but when the time comes that I can relax and enjoy a cigar- I know *exactly* what I want. I even find myself craving my mild (and usually morning cigars) in the evening hours.
What cigars do you enjoy when you don’t have a lot of time, but are looking to indulge the palate and relax?

The coffee break was good but the lancero of the special selection line thought was the best. For quick smokes I go to Cusano C 10 crown corona. or I just had an Avo Domaine Purito and for the size it was great. The Zino Platnum SX isnt a bad one eather.
Maybe it’s just me, but if I don’t have the time for a full sized smoke, then I don’t smoke.
I know this might sound off a bit, but I just have to let it out. I just love me a woman who smokes cigars! There, I said it.
OT, I usually go for the full bodied cigars. My favorite would be the Perdomo Habano Corojo. The corojo wrapper brings in a lot of taste with each easy draw. I also enjoy the peppery taste and nutty mild sweetness to it.
NC I like the CAO Mx2 Dagger and Brazilia Carioca and CC the Partagas Shorts or Bolivar Coronas Junior.
Oh yeah – two other great coffee break smokes are the Padron Padron Anniversario 1964 Series Principe Natural and the Montecristo No. 5. Both are exceptional shorter smokes.
I usually go for full-bodied smokes, but when I don’t have the time to really savor a cigar but still want something, I veer toward the milder side- but still want good flavors. In these situations I might go to a Fuente Hemingway Short Story, or a Tatuaje Havana…
