DON KIKI Limited Reserve Brown Label ![]()
Smoke Magazine gave Cuban Crafters' Don Kiki Brown Label Toro 9.4/10. I truly experienced why.
I have had the toro 6x52 and figurado which the length is about a 4 and with starts off narrow at the top and gets wider at the bottom ending at at a 52 gage.
This cigar smelled heavenly. The wrapper was a maduro color, no imperfections. Along with it, came a brown and yellowish/gold label with coins on the back of the label.
This cigar is 7" with a 52 ring size. The construction was good, had a terrific draw .The taste was rubust, definitely not a smoke for an empty stomache, delivers a strong punch for the experience cigar smoker. It was a smooth start and finish with a full body smoke. I really enjoyed the Don Kiki Brown Label.
The Brown Label cigars are the most flavorful Don Kiki cigars to date. These full body cigars are hand made in small batches and in limited quantities with sun grown and extremely aged Cuban-Seed Habano long leaf tobacco from the rich fields of Tabacalera Esteli. The Binder is a rich Corojo and the wrapper is a super premium Rich and rare sun-grown Cuban-Seed Criollo. This combination of all Cuban Seed tobacco from Tabacalera Esteli produces lots of delightful smoke and taste.

This churchill cigar is 7" Long with a Ring Gauge of 48.
It has a red and gold label with a painting of a woman. The elegant painting on the wrapper reminded me of a Romeo Y Julieta cigar.
The wrapper is a colorado maduro with very few imperfections
It is medium/full-bodied, smooth, yummy, toasty, fruity and earthy.
The aroma is very pleasant with a floral scent.
The draw was great. The construction was good.
Each cigar is totally hand made with aged long leaf nicaraguan Binder and Fillers, wrapped in extra premium Wrappers. Every hand rolled cigar is made by the expert hands of the traditional Torcedores of Tabacalera Esteli. Just as the Cupido Cigars brand that these cigars were previously made under, LA CAROLINA Churchill are boxed in beautiful Cedar boxes handmade from the finest trees.They have that special naturally fruity tobacco taste and low nicotine content that made Cupido Cigars the top rated medium body cigar in America. Described as medium to full-bodied with loads of deep complex flavors.
History
Fine cigar maker Jose Alonso started LA CAROLINA during the 1840’s. This master roller knew he could make the best cigars in Cuba, and he did. The high quality and exceptional taste elevated the brand to become one of Cuba’s most demanded cigars. They became the cigars that aficionados in Cuba smoked and due to the limited quantities made, where not available in the international market. Now once again they are available to just a few cigar aficionados. Handmade in small batches with extraordinary attention to each and every detail, these cigars are crafted with exceptional hand-selected tobacco leaves from Tabacalera Esteli’s special harvest. Each leaf is comparable in looks and in taste as those that Jose Alonso hand rolled. Those that have the opportunity to smoke them will insist that they were made by Jose Alonso himself.

Cuban Crafters Cigar came with a red, metallic, gold, label with gold goins along the back of the label. The wrapper color was a colorado. There was some imperfections that contributed to a very veiny look but it had its signature uniqueness with a twisted end on the cigar. It was a toro shape and about a 52 ring size. This cigar smelled great with a hint of an exotic aroma. It is smooth and rich, with a full body flavor. There was a tad bitterness that did not affect the taste at all, a nice even burn and despite its imperfect look, it was constructed very well. The taste was refreshing, minty ,leafy and spicey.
