But it comes in both Corojo and Maduro, and from what I can tell, the only place I found available online is TexCigar. I checked around town and none of the B&Ms around here carry it. And the only B&M that I would trust to get some generally only handles the "high end" stuff--the only bundles they have are the Omar Ortez (which completely burnt off my taste buds with that super pepper blast).
Matt was kind enough to put together a 5 pack of Corojo & Maduro for me to test drive.

I've heard the Pepin rumor, can't say if it's true or not, however JFR maduros are a great smoke for $5 a pop.
Sorry to hear you had such a bad Omar...every one I've ever smoked has been exceptionally mild and had an off-sweet floral flavor that I found extremely pleasing for a cheap maduro. If you've only tried one, it may bw roth going back and trying another one (new box or new source perhaps too?) to see if you maybe had a bad one.
PM me if you want another one to try, I have some sitting around for inexpensive easy smokes.
