According to
Moki's site:
"Pete knows what taste profile he wants in a particular cigar, imparts that information to Pepin, and Pepin uses his expertise to pick out the appropriate tobaccos to try to match that taste profile. Prototype cigars are created, Pete smokes them, and asks for a bit more of this flavor profile, a bit less of that, etc., and the process continues until the final blend is reached."
Which seems to coincide with the story of the Tat Black on the
Tatuaje site:
"Together we spent quite some time working on the blend and looking at different leaves for wrapper. The marbled toothy wrapper was perfect for this cigar, rustic looking but with tons of aroma. After smoking the first sample..."
So while it appears he is quite involved in the direction/ flavor of a blend, the actual blending to achieve his vision is done by Pepin. Just smoked an Angeles, yum.
