Don Peppin advice
 
I have smoked the Peppin Blue label and liked it. I'm looking at the JJ. Can anyone give a quick description of these?

JJ Maduro? not as peppery, great flavor and creamy with a bit of sweetness. Get some they are :tu I love all things DPG :tu

Not the Maduro the other one. I do like pepper.

One of the best IMO. Get some Old Henry's from Holt's, they are a DPG house blend :tu

They are a typical spicy/pepper from DPG, not sure he blends any that aren't spice bombs, look into some Blue Label Firecrackers also, one of my favorites.

Will do, I'll look up some of these. Thank you for the assist. Mike

THIS! I love the Old Henry Maduro's!
On of the best house blends I've tried. I'm not good at describing flavors, all I know is I'm almost out, time to order some more!!

DPG Cuban Classic, Casa Royale, Firecracker, Old Henry, La Reloba, Blue Label, Black Label, My Father, La Aroma de Cuba are a few to check out also :tu

The only DPG I didn't enjoy was the Legends. But I only tried one.

Was not a big fan of La Rebola.

The JJ white is identical to the JJ maduro, less the sweetness. It's a lot like a blue.
JJ maduros have been a favorite of mine for a long, long time. :tu

It was a bit mild for a DPG but tasted enjoyable to me, I had only one of those as well.

There are some DPGs that just don't taste like the signature DPG profile but they are still pretty tasty IMHO.

You can never go wrong with a Pepin made cigar. The man is a master, so is Jaime, his son. The My Father 343's are some of the best cigars I've smoked.

Take a long look at this thread: http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...ighlight=pepin

Pepin has been making some great cigars for a while now.

I agree that the Old Henry is one of the best House blends that Pepin has done. Especially the Maduro. And they wont break the bank. This is another great one that he did for Holts too.
