I was lucky enough to try one of the new Miami's and while I will say it is definatly different from the old ones it holds its own with no problem. It is a very creamy rich smoke that I know I will pick up more of.

They have the New Miami at Serious Cigars, can't wait to get one myself!

A great look on the new band and I like the way the name of the factory was added! Right now the 32 is my number 1 cigar (yes it has passed the VSG) and the old Miami isn't to far behind it.
