I am having a Don Kiki Brown. I don't pretend to have all the info memorized so I just snatched it direct from the sellers website. Before I post it, I will tell you what I think of it. It is made well and draws well. The tastes are changing throughout the smoke. I got some cocoa flavor and some nutty flavor as well. I am really pleased overall with this one.
Ok, here what the seller had to say about it.

MEDIUM TO FULL BODIED CIGARS. Their superior taste is well balanced and complex with some floral licorice & spices. It has earthy undertones of toasted nuts. It finishes with a cocoa blast.
Tried something a little different today, a cigar called La Diferencia Cubana. This is a real budget cigar that I picked up on special from an unnamed source (many of us like their Legends line) for $.99 a stick, that's right less than a dollar. And I must say it's not bad....it's not great either, but hell, for a dollar you really can't do much better. A decent stick overall.
I had a weird experience tonight. I was in my truck and realized I never finished smoking the Indian Tabac that I started last week. I had it in a glass tube that the Gurkha LXIII Platinum comes in. It is air tight. The cigar was still moist but somehow it absorbed some of the Cognac fromthe tube. I must say it was interesting to say the least. Not as much cognac flavor as the Platinum but there were hints and it wasn't bad at all.
Certainly one of the highlights of my cigar smoking career thus far. Many thanks Scramblin' man.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Quite the opposite of the Perdomo Lot 23, it sounds like you had a better experence with this one than I did. I've only smoked one, and it was ok, but didn't grab me. You're the 3rd person I've given one to that loved it though, so I need to pull another one out and try it. I figured the problem had to just be that I was distracted, so I bought another box that'll stay sealed for quite a while, but I've got a handful loose.
Well I'm about to get off work and enjoy my 3 days off! I think I'll start it off with a La Flor Dominica Double Ligero tomorrow evening on the balcony. I'll try to get on here and let everyone know how that goes for me!
Its looking like I will have a 5 Vegas Gold churchill today...either that or my RP vintage 1992...but I think I'll save my RP for the weekend. I had a RP conneticut a while ago and I didnt care for it much, so hopefully the vintage will be a little better.
I have a ton of new smokes from j0z3r that I can't wait to get into, but I'll be trying the new Macanudo tonight at B&M event. I'll let you all know what I think of it later.
Actually my favorite size in the Camacho 62 is the perfecto.
Me, too. I have the other sizes and haven't tried all of them yet, but I did try the churchill the other night and didn't like it as well as the perfecto.

Hey LCar, I love the Patel '92.. I is one of my absolute favorites. And I enjoy many, many of RP's other cigars. But, not the Connecticut. It is the only Patel that I have no desire to try again. I know the Vintage will be a better experience.
Don't do it, kas. It'll just break your heart, what with la Aurora discontinuing them. You better just send it to me. My heart's already broken.
Oh no !! What shall I do..
That's not the first time I fell in love and lost. This truely makes for a difficult decision...Are they out of stock at all sources ? I bet I can find them somewhere..
I will give that little guy a small fire on Friday and see how it is.. I saw that bid, Pretty good deal for these cigars based on Regular price. How long do you have to wait before you know if you win this one ?
I smoked a Sol Cubano Sumatra last night. Liked it a lot. Burn was off a little in the beginning but fixed itself. I probably messed it up when lighting it.
I am smoking a Rocky Patel Olde World today. Not sure which one it is. It has the brown label, not the yellow label. So far, it is ok. A little spicy. I liked the Sol Cubano better.
