This is yet another cigar from ultra-hot Don Pepin Garcia. It was released in late ’06 early ’07 I think. This was a limited run deal, but I was still able to find a few at Empire Cigars.
This cigar is a bit pricey, so my expectations are a little high.
The cigar is a light brown, a little lighter than i would figure for a Corojo leaf. It is smooth and silky to the touch and the cigar is mildly firm to the touch.
After lit, I am met with a wave of sourness. This cigar is very harsh from the start.
A little further down the cigar I get a little bit of that Don Pepin flavor, but it was short lived.
Very little was good about this stick. It did not burn even, and it burned real hot in the middle with a smoldering white ash in the middle of the cigar.
All in all this was a very overpriced disappointing cigar
