New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Anyone try these yet?

La Reloba or Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Yes and both are excellent smokes!

The Jaime is full bodied while the La Reloba is medium. The Jaime Garcia is wrapped with a broadleaf maduro and the La Reloba comes in Habano and Sumatra (the Sumatra is the better of the 2).

I highly recommend either one. :tu

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

I Agree the sumatra is def step above.

Jaime Garcia is full but an easy and tasty smoke.

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Gonna have to track these down.

Smoked the Reloba... Tasty Cake! :banger

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Just picked some up this weekend. I actually scored two for free from the Pepin rep that was there. I haven't smoke them yet, but this week looks promising. :tu

Got to find these!!! :bh

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

I will have to try them when/if they arrive Habana.

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Wow...didn't even know they existed. Thanks for sharing the news, anything by Pepin is worth at least trying.

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Yes!
Very good smokes. Smoked the La Reloba awhile back. Both the Habano and the Sumatra are excellent.

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

I tried them both. I really liked the Jaime. :tu

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Are you gonna smoke every cigar in the world?:r

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Yay more Pepin blends.

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Holts has a new Old Henry coming out from Pepin with a Connecticut wrapper. Old Henry Gold Label.

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

:r:r was thinking the same thing Greg....Mac, so many smokes, so little lung capacity! :r

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

They're already out....tasty looking connie....

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Yes - have been fortunate enough to try both of these new lines. I agree that the La Reloba Sumatra is noticeably better than the Habano. This brand is very reasonably priced as well. The Jaime Reserva is a flat-out amazing blend, IMO. If I can indulge in a terrible SAT analogy, these are to the My Father portfolio what the El Triunfador are to the Tatuaje line-up. Loads of flavor and complexity, yet smooth, and it achieves this without having to use a ton of strength or power.

The Connie-wrapped Old Henry's are news to me. Interesting and I wonder how these compare to the 601 Black or the original Tabacos Baez. I'm a little late to the Pepin party but I have always heard that he worked wonders with Connecticut wrappers on the original Cuban Diplomat and the Rey Miguel blends. (Hopefully these will come fairly close.)

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Thx for the head's up...had no idea there were new blends out there (although I can't say I am that surprised considering the amount of blends he has created recently :r). I will have to track them down.

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

I have not smoked either of these but for those of you looking for them Atlantic has them.

Re: New Pepin's for 2010?
 

Picked up the Jaime Garcia today, will wait to try it next week.
