Don Kiki Limited Reserve 2000 Robusto
Origin: Nicaragua
Size: 5.00 X 50
Wrapper: Connecticut 2000

From Corona Cigar:
Kiki Berger, the unofficial ambassador of Esteli, Nicaragua, created the Don Kiki Limited Reserve as his flagship cigar. This box pressed cigar features a golden-brown wrapper called Connecticut 2000. Connecticut 2000 is a special hybrid tobacco that is derived from Connecticut-shade tobacco seeds that are shade-grown in Nicaragua. This wrapper combines the burning qualities of Connecticut-shade tobacco with the richness of Nicaraguan tobacco. The long-filler tobaccos for the Don Kiki Limited Reserve are blended from three different regions of Nicaragua. The end result from this blend of tobaccos is a mild and smooth, yet flavorful smoke. After six months of aging, each cigar is box pressed and packaged into cedar cabinets of twenty-five.

We want a lot of people to be able to enjoy this cigar, so were are offering this cigar to you at a very special price. A box of 25 Robustos or Coronas are only $49.95. This cigar is worth twice the price, but since we are the importer and distributor of Don Kiki cigars, we’re giving you factory direct pricing.

Notes:

First off, I hate the name. I feel like I should be wearing a lei and drinking a Pina Colada while I smoked this. This cigar was given to me by a fellow garhead who I am not sure wants me to mention his name so I won't, but I thank him nonetheless.

Regardless of the name this is a pretty fair cigar. I felt like it started a little bitter (I find most cigars do) and the draw was a little loose at the start. As I got into the cigar the taste improved dramatically and surprisingly the draw improved also. In the middle this was a tasty smoke and I really enjoyed it. Towards the end it got a little harsh so I had to dump it a bit early.

I would not pay 50 bucks for this cigar since I think there are better cigars out there for 50 bucks or less. All in all I would give this cigar a 6 or 7 on a scale of 1 to 10.
