National Nestor Miranda Cigar Day is coming soon

They say nothing in life is free. That may be right on point for the most part, but it does not hold true when it comes to the National Nestor Miranda Cigar Day. Friday, May 6th will mark this special day dedicated to the person dubbed as “The Most Interesting Man in the Cigar Industry,” and smoking fans who participate will get to enjoy a free cigar.

National Nestor Miranda Day was not only created to celebrate the man after which it is named, but also to give back to cigar fans who have supported Miami Cigar & Company's various brands over the past 20-plus years. Nestor Miranda himself best described the day when he said, ““Finally, the best holiday of the year has returned. I am very excited to once again show our customers and consumers our appreciation for their loyalty and support”. While it's always great to reward loyalty, Miami Cigar was smart in creating such a day to help spread awareness of not only its Nestor Miranda brand, but others as well, such as La Aurora, Don Lino, and Tatiana.

Now that you know a little bit of background on this cigar-themed holiday, you are probably wondering how exactly can you participate. All you have to do is visit any Nestor Miranda Collection authorized dealer and purchase a cigar by any manufacturer. That's right, it doesn't even have to be a Nestor Miranda cigar. Once you have purchased the cigar of your choice, collect your free Nestor Miranda Art Deco cigar, light it up, and enjoy. The Art Deco measures 5 1/2 x 54, and is the newest addition to the Nestor Miranda Collection, so rest assured that you are not receiving just any old cigar.

You can find the full list of dealers by visiting Miami Cigar's website, www.miamicigarandcompany.com. Click on the Where to Buy link at the top of the page, and select Nestor Miranda Collection Authorized Dealers to find the dealer near you. National Nestor Miranda Day does not happen all that often, so be sure to mark it on your calendars. You may want to make it to your local authorized dealer as early as possible, since the promotion is only good while supplies last.
