Don Pepin My Father No. 1 Robusto
 

Picked this up at a B & M in Albany , Ny on Friday. Smoked it today on Father's Day. I'm a Pepin whore so I was looking forward to trying this one. My favorite DPG is the Cuban Classic Black Label.

The construction of this cigar is top notch. It's a Pepin, so you know it's well made.

Clipped it with my Palio and the pre- light draw was a little loose and very mild. Toasted the foot and away we go.

First 1/3 : Mild leather with a very nice nutty profile ending with that Pepin peppy spice that I like. But it was mild on the pepper finish at first.
Burn was perfect and even, it was kinda breezy on my front porch, so I was happy it burned nice. I like the nutty profile to this cigar. At the end the pepper note started to pick up a bit. Ash is holding together very well.

Second 1/3: Nutty and pepper, damn this is good. Had to touch up the wrapper, I blame it on the wind.It reminds me of a DPG Blue with a nutty profile, I like it.

Final 1/3 : WTF!!! It went out!!!! Did the wind have something to do with it? I was relaxing listing to tunes, did I doze off, for awhile? Puzzling. Fired it up again and finished it off to a nub. The tasting profile was dominate pepper and mild leather/nutty.

I will buy this one again, would like to try a different size. The smoke lasted over 1 hour. I paid around $11. Nice smoke. I give it a thumbs up.:tu

Did the flavor change after you relit the cigar?

Re: Don Pepin My Father No. 1 Robusto
 

at first it did. It was leathery, but then it got good again.

Very nice review.

I liked the one My Father that I have had.

Re: Don Pepin My Father No. 1 Robusto
 

You wont be sorry, the MF Lanceros that I have had are near the top of my favorites list. Its a great smoke, but don't expect to do anything conscious after, they pack a serious punch!!!

:ss :ss :ss :sleep:

The lancero is GREAT! Also try the new "en cedros", Pepin told us at the Habana Premium even that it was the best My Father so far and hes right!!

Re: Don Pepin My Father No. 1 Robusto
 

Another vote for the lancero here. :)

Thx for the review and pics! This is one I plan on picking up in the future based on my past experience with DP. Hopefully it won't be as windy for me :tu

Re: Don Pepin My Father No. 1 Robusto
 

Nice review and nice pics. I think the MF Lancero's will be my next box purchase. I loved the robustos I had also.

Re: Don Pepin My Father No. 1 Robusto
 

Looks tasty :dr im gonna have to hunt some down now.

Re: Don Pepin My Father No. 1 Robusto
 

Just my 2 ct:

• construction: perfect
• optical issues: perfect
• ashes and burn: perfect
• taste: aweful, wet cardbox was the only taste which came up, in spite of that more or less tasteless.
