I like the Doppelbok better than Nestor Miranda's more expensive offerings such as the Special Selection (burns too hot) and '89 Oscuro (not rich enough for my taste). I think the Doppelbok has more flavor and "oomph" than either of those. The Doppelbok is a great cigar for a breezy night or times when you're "on the run" or otherwise not positioned to appreciate a subtle cigar.
I would describe the flavor of the Doppelbok as woody with a sub-layer of flint or mineral and hints of melon-like sweetness. The experience of smoking this straightforward, easy-drawing cigar reminds me of Indian Tabac Super Fuerte robustos, my favorite low-priced cigars. The Dobbelbok comes in a close second.
It shares qualities with other cigars I like including:
- Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Robusto (habano)
- Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1979
- Nestor Miranda Special Selection
- Oliva Series G Cameroon robusto
- Rocky Patel Edge Corojo toro
- Rocky Patel Olde World robusto (natural/corojo)

MANUFACTUR DEESCRIPTION: “Sunglasses not included. After a slew of highly rated releases, Nestor Miranda transitions to something a little easier on the wallet. But that’s the only difference - the flavor and construction are still on par with their counterparts. Doppelbök, commonly referred to around the office as DB, is crafted with a dark, leathery Habano wrapper that’s loaded with oils and a rich blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers. Notes of nuts, cedar, and earth overlay a rich tobacco core, creating a smoke that’s flavorful and interesting throughout every inch. But despite its abundance of flavor Nestor Miranda DB is smooth, creamy, and mellow in body. A winner indeed, and just $2 apiece....for ever and ever.”
MY REVIEW:- Bitter! Ugh, sorry whatever they cost they are acrid. These are not “smooth, creamy, and mellow in body”!
That's correct. The Doppelbok is NOT smooth, creamy or mellow. It is a powerful cigar with a bit of flint in the taste, which means that a lot of you will fint it harsh. The other half of you will love it. Try just ONE, or split a five pack with your friends before you go crazy over the deals and buy a whole box.
I think it all depends on how you store them. You can have a high dollar humidefier and get some shitty results. Ive had only three of these cigars and they were really great. They burn good and taste mild and nutty. I think it all depends of what mood your on for the taste.
