Last Words:
I think this is a LFD L200 Oscuro / Maduro whatever.	I posted my review before reading anyone else's this time. I liked this cigar and will try it again for sure. There was a sort of sweetness in the background and that initial spice at the beginning was great.
Good maddie.	Tequila drunk on Easter...better put that on the Entrance To Hell Resume'.
It to me had that Dominican ''bite'' that almost every Dominican cigar has.	Tatuaje La Casita Criolla H.C.B. I put USA since it would be a Conn. broad leaf puro, if I'm right...Last MINUTE!!
I may be totally wrong on this cigar but it reminded me of a San Cristobal.	This cigar started off to a good start and settled into a nice flavor profile by the 2nd third. But by the final third, it became disappointing and lackluster.
This cigar didn't have a lot of crazy profile flavors. It's construction, while solid when squeezed, had kind of a rougher look/feel to it. There wasn't anything wrong or bad with it, but it did look like not as nice and smooth as some other higher-end smokes. I enjoyed the smoking experience. It provided a consistent flavor, but wasn't boring, as there were hints of spice throughout. I loved that it burned so evenly during the whole cigar. Perfect size. Perfect smoking time. I really enjoyed this cigar.	I really liked Ginger a lot. Nothing overwhelming, but still a lot of flavor and aroma.
I feel my lackluster experience with this cigar has more to do with the fact I was out and about walking rather than enjoying it while sitting around. LFD L200?

Editor's Note:

These cigars were purchased from www.superiorcigars.com. We picked them up for $123.14 with free shipping (box of 25). The cigars came nicely packaged, bundled in a cedar box. I didn't see any damage to the cigars and the bands came off easily without any wrapper damage. I just noticed that Superior Cigars has dropped their price on these to $115.38/box with free shipping.

logan37 is still in the lead, pegging the exact identity of Ginger and only missing her price by a dime. Good luck with the next round guys!
