I actually also bought the Don Kiki brown sampler at the same time. Did NOT like. Even though I like a medium-full bodied cigar, I liked the red MUCH better, but that said the Medina is in a superior class by far. The particular DK brown I smoked the other night started out pretty good but about halfway in just went to hell in uneven burning, going out, and would not relight/stay lit worth a crap. I actually had to give up on it and flipped it in the bushes in frustration, which is saying a lot for me. Just a bad one I guess. Can happen with the best. The DK reds I had before were fine and tasted great. The DK greens are a bit too mild for my taste, but my buddy loves them.
But the Medina--PERFECT even burn the whole way, perfect draw, beautiful wrapper, and the taste--dare I say it tasted a lot like the few Tatuaje's I've tried? (Heresy some here will say; though fret not brethren! There's plenty of room for different great cigars.)
