These were originally made in the US, but Don Pepin Garcia may have moved production of this cigar to one of his new Nicaraguan factories. Mr. Garcia is making a crap load of cigars…
I tried this a while ago and I did not like it at all. I thought it was mild and flavorless; but this one much better.
It has a bit more spice than I remembered. Re-blended perhaps?
The draw is even but the burn is all over the place. His Corojos tend to do that.
This has the typical flavor Don Pepin profile, top-of-the-roof-of-your-mouth pepper. The finish is ripe with wood, leather and tobacco.
This was an OK cigar on the whole, better than my first experience, but still nothing to write home about. I need Pepin to make something that doesn’t taste like all of his other cigars.
