Cabinet selection
Don KIKI green, Red and Brown
JL Salazar y Hermanos
Cupidos

Dang, you've really got to watch your mouth around here...

I have only tried the red and green line. My wife did like their La Carolina for a while before she moved to cigars with more body. The ones I have tried didn't do much for me, but I haven't seen the brown label around.

Never tried the sticks, but I sure do love the humi I bought from them years back. The count was WAY off, I think it was supposed to be a 50 ct, but I am sure I have 100+ crammed into the thing and since I set it up it has held a solid 62-65% the entire time.

shvictor · 01-07-2011, 10:52 PM

Matter of fact i think it was you who told me they were good..lol

joeobx · 01-07-2011, 10:58 PM

Steve let us know how they are.

shilala · 01-07-2011, 10:59 PM

I find them to be the most retarded and incompetent outfit I ever ran into.
I posted the runaround on the old site that they put me through on April Fool's Day a couple years ago. It'd have been much funnier had it happened to someone else.
Ultimately they tried to smooth things over, and they even screwed that up.
And their cigars are awful, aside from maybe the Kiki brown, which is smokable, but far from special.
Some really nice people work there, so there's that.

Shilala, pm me your addy, maybe i can change your mind.

Frodo · 01-08-2011, 07:32 AM

I don't have any experiance with their cigars but I'm a big fan of their cutters. Decent prices and lifetime warentees and really good reviews make this a company I think fondly of. Only have their punch cutters but they work fine.

Edit: They sent me a complementary Green Label cigar complementary with my order. The cigar wasn't anything special, but the gesture was generous...

Wow Scott, you must really really want some Cuban Crafters

Thank you a millions times for your gracious offer Clark, but I've tried them all and I'm good to go. I may even have some browns laying around.
I'm sure some of the guys who like sweet mild stuff would enjoy the Cupidos and some of the others if you'd hook them up.
I'm surprised this thread hasn't gotten a lot more hits, cause I know for fact a lot of guys have some Cuban Crafters in their humis. They may not be insanely popular, but I think lots of brothers have tried them along the way.

STEVE S · 01-08-2011, 09:46 AM

I like their Red Label cigar, I have ordered from them several times, and always get my cigars the next day in perfect condition.

I visited their location in Miami last november, but never tried any of their cigars. I was there on invitation of Albert Argenti from Berger & Argenti, smoked their quad maduro double corona which was amazing.

Dunkel · 01-09-2011, 04:25 AM

I've smoked the brown and green Don Kiki, and a Maduro Cabinet selection. They were all pretty average to awful, nothing to write home about. Thankfully I got them in bombs and trades so I never wasted my money on them.
