La Sirena

La Sirena is the brand of Arielle Ditkowich, launched in 2009 in partnership with Nestor Miranda — the founder of Miami Cigar & Co., whose entry this atlas carries. The mermaid on the band is the one of the myths, and the first line, La Sirena Original, came out of My Father, the Garcías' factory, before moving in 2014 to La Zona, Erik Espinosa's, where it has been rolled since in Nicaraguan Habano oscuro wrapper. The house bought Old School Cigars the same year. This atlas classifies it in Nicaragua, where the line bearing the name comes out.

The catalogue then spread across three countries, which the entry notes because it is rare for so small a house: a line at El Paraíso, Plasencia's factory in Honduras; Oceano blended at MATASA, at Quesada's, in the Dominican Republic; and, after the ten years celebrated in May 2019 with an Aniversario Especial, the Mexican Mermaid, in the colours of the Mexican flag.

The last public trace is from 2022: a limited edition of a thousand cigars rolled that year, which the house says it releases by the thousand each year for four years, until 2025. The trade press has not described it since; the house's site, for its part, still stands. The entry is written in the present because the announced plan still runs, and it says so.
