Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!
 

I think there was a thread of this nature somewhere else... I miss it...

So let talk about the man, Don Pepin Garcia's cigars! What are you smoking? What's your favorite? Right now, I can't get enough Cuabo...:ss

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Right now I love the DPG CC 1979 Robusto. I also like the JJ Maduro :dr

Someone called!!

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

WOOT!! ho-ing with the Cuabos as well!!!:ss

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Pepin is definately my favorite brand also love me padrons...anyone know if the series jj belicosos which is my favorite right now with about a year age they are stellar. no more wrapper issues,perfect burn,my question is the jj maduro which is prob #2 for me ,is it the same blend with a maduro wrapper??

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Cubaos are awesome. Another great one I've tried lately is, Tobbaco Baez. Nice full bodied cigar with a great punch to it.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

JJ Maddie = Possibly the best Maddie eva!

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I haven't been blessed with a Baez yet, but I will... I smoked a Tat Havana IV Hermosos yesterday that was outstanding...

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Still haven't tried the cubao, aroma de cuba, my father and a couple of others... it's getting tough to keep up with the latest DPG

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Cubaos and 601's are grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! I had a Centurion the other day and it was good and smooth. All of his cigars are excellent.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Tat reserva J21. Yuuuummmy

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Another whore checking in. I can't get enough.

601's, blues, and Cubao.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Did somebody call?????:D
The Blue is still my favorite although I have been smoking the hell out of some Blacks and LAC Edition Especials lately. Recently picked up a 5er of original release Guapos that I have been dreaming about but free time has been non existent since I have been spending a lot of time doing some work around the house for Thanksgiving. Have heard the Cubao is fantastic, but have yet to order any and have not been able to find them local yet. Had the opportunity to try the Vegas Cubanas and both times I had to put the stick down prematurely as I thought they were that bad. I guess the guy is allowed to have one crappy stick right?:r

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Bretheren, I saw the title to this thread and came running! :ss IMO, the Series JJ Maduro is #1, followed closely by a San Cristobal and Cuban Classic (Black Label) figurado. He also blended the 5 Vegas Miami line, which is definitely my favorite in that series and an everyday go-to smoke for me. Has anyone tried the My Father label recently released? I'm dying to get my hands on one of these, but have no local B&M and haven't found a 5'er on C-bid yet. (yes, i'm cheap, so sue me)

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Haven't tried the Cuabo yet, but my fav. so far is the JJ Belicoso! Delic.!:D

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I like the 601 greens, DPG blues and Cuban Classics, the San Cristobals, the Cuboas... do you get the picture:-)???

I tell you though... my absolute favorite is the Tat Noella. I can't get enough of that smoke!!

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

There was a group Pepin "whores" on CS... which I have been checking less and less...:hm

I was a new, yet avid fan/poster of the group, (just could do without the 'whores' moniker...:2

It was great and should be restarted here...:ss

I personally believe some of the Tat brown labels are smoking better than ever!! (certainly better than about 1 & half - 2 years ago). I have been getting into the Cabaiguan Guapos and really find the Cubao's an interesting smoke... want to try more!
The Tat black robusto had MAJOR construct issues, but AMAZING flavor. LOVE the new La Aroma EE!!

The Tabacos Baez was very unimpressive.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Right now I am smoking alot of the My Father. One of his new cigars and it is the bomb. The lancero and the robusto are the best!

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I just had a Cabaiguan - someone once said in a blind tasted test that they tasted like an real old Davidoff - :ss

Also love the Habana Leon smokes - Super strong - Ahhhhh

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I have not had the Habana Leons or the El Rey de los Habanos. How are they?

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I truly love the El Centurions.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

:tpd:

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

The Cabaiguan Guapo Rx I just had for my B-day tasted like an original run Edmundo - 100% - would not know the difference blind.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

The Leon's are very robust - lots of taste and nicotine. Eat a meal before smoking. Very smooth after the first 25%. One of my favorite strong smokes.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I am bummed out I missed out on the DPG Blues on Joe's Jambalaya this morning.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

If it says Tatuaje on the label...I have a smile on my face!

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Pepin Blue and Tat Brown smoker here.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Excellent Taste, Bro!:ss

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

So I was just taking inventory of this week's singles haul, and I noticed something:

2 Tatuaje Noellas
1 Tatuaje P1
1 Tatuaje Cojonu 06
2 Tatuaje Reserva J21
2 DPG Blue Exquisitos
1 La Riqueza No. 3
4 Cabaiguan Guapos 46
1 Cabaiguan Belicoso Fino
1 Cruzado Domenicos
1 JDN Antano Machito

I am a Pepin whore! I love Nicaraguan tobacco and I love his blends

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

:tpd:

One of my favorite Pepin blends. Mark (Yazzie) sent me one of these once and I liked it so much that I bought a box of the robusto size. Of course, I'll smoke almost any blue label or Tatuaje too. :ss

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

i really like the DPG CC Black Labels and haven't had a bad DPG Cigar.....ever!!!:ss

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!!
 

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Cabaiguan does it for me. Not as spicy as some of his other blends, but they always have perfect construction and a pleasant taste. Cabaiguan Guapos have a little more strength and spiciness, very tasty too! :dr

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I had an Pepin blended Padilla Signature 1932 Corona Gorda last night that was unreal. I want to go smoke the rest of the box!!!

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Let me know if you need any help. :ss

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I am a fan of pretty much all that Pepin makes. Perhaps it is the similar flavor profile across the lines. They all don't taste alike but I think I like the varying amounts of pepper blended in with different flavors (say a Tat Cojonu 2k3 vs a San Cristobal Guajiro). There are some lines that aren't as good as others; yet my favs always seem to hit for me:

Tat Cabinet (aka brown label)
Tat Havana (aka red)
Tat P series
San Cristobal
601 Red, Blue, Black lines
Mi Barrio
DPG Blue, White, & Black
Vegas Cubanas

I need to hit a smoke after typing this! :D

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Here is a link to the new Tat VI Verocu, it is a Holts.com exclusive from what I understand...

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

can we get a group going here a CA for DPG fans>>??

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Since my first Pepin Blue a year age I've been seduced.

I love (in no particular order)
Pepin Blue's <--#1:dance:
Tatuaje Havana's
All 601 blends
Mi Barrio
Cinco Vegas Miami
CI Legends
JJ Natural

Not a huge fan of
Tatuaje Browns

But I'll be happy to light one on FIRE:fl every chance I get!

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!!
 

Just finished off a DPG JJ Maduro. My first. Very nice. I was suprised at how spicy it was.:ss

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

I was gifted a DP 601 blue and had to buy a box after I smoked it. Does that make me a whore??

I smoked the DP blue and liked it.
I smoked the DP 602 green and it didn't do much for me, but to each his own.

Next on my radar is a DP JJ maduro. I need to find one at my local smoke shop.

Whats this Mi Barrio you weirdos talk about?

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

The DPG Blue corona gorda has become one of my favorite NCs. I bought a 5er then another... then I bought a box of them. They only come in a box of 50 so I should be set for a while!!!

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Mi Barrio is an E&O(601) cigar that's of course blended by DPG.

It's 7.5 x 52 and a powerhouse.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Cool, looks like I'll be checking those out too.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!1
 

Anyone want to volunteer to organize a box split? Those look good!
