I Just Like Cigars

Posts Tagged ‘Handmade Cigars’

I’ll tell you what, it’s like Christmas. I just got my order in from Thompson. First, they gave me a 20% off coupon for my Birthday, than they were running a free shipping deal, so I loaded up.

First I opened up the brown bag special. I was seriously impressed by all of the good looking and relatively expensive cigars they included. I’m sure there are a couple of buck a sticks, but I’ve also found some that were $3-4. I believe they’ve included 2 each of 15 different kinds of cigars. I love this format and will order a brown bag again.

I thought the brown bag was a deal until I looked at the early bird special. I searched for each of the 5 bundles included within this deal and sure enough it was $250 worth of cigars. Because of the discount I got these at a smoking low price, but now that I know what they give you, I’d be willing to order at $125. Again it’s a fun way to get a few different kinds of cigars. I’m going to let these cigars sit in my humidor for 1-2 weeks and then I’ll be writing reviews about a bunch of different kinds.

VERY EARLY BIRD SPECIAL COMBO

Don Kiki Brown Label

I recently received the Boutique Sampler and after letting the cigars sit in my humidor for a couple of weeks, the first one I wanted to break out was this full bodied cigar from Don Kiki. With an odd shape the Don Kiki Brown Label has a little a hint of sweet & chocolate. It’s very smooth and has a great burn. I enjoyed the cigar very much and only wish I had a few more.

Here are some of the reviews from Cuban Crafters…

Subject :: Good smoke
I received this cigar in the sampler. I am a fairly new smoker and the weird shape was intriguing to me so i tried it first. It tasted pretty full-bodied to me. The only problem i had was trying to keep it lit past the fat mid section. Had to relight but after that it was terrific.

Subject :: Brown lable
Very well balanced cigar. Great taste all the way threw. Try it once and you’ll be comeing back for more.

Subject :: Full bodied
Great full bodied taste. Did not burn even though, and ash was almost black. It may have needed more time in humidor after receiving it.
