Just sayin', since Pete's stuff is getting manufactured in the same factory as Pepins..

I think was in large part due to Pepin having his own fields and splitting off with Tabacalera Tropical. He did this a couple years ago. If you want the old Blue Label taste, I would recommend going with Casa Fernandez.
