Cigar: Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1979 Robusto (5 x 50)

Cost: $74.56 for a box of 20 off of Cigar International's "Make Me An Offer"

Drink: Coca-Cola Classic (the best cola out there)

Appearance: 2 banded cigar that says "Don Pepin Garcia" with a dark background on the top band and a second band that says "Cuban Classic" with a black background. This has a dark brown wrapper on the cigar.

Pre-light: Smells like wood.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a peppery and leather taste to it. The pepper is very strong at the beginning and it gets weaker as the cigar is smoked.

Construction: Held a nice ash. I ash my cigar after about 1.5 inches on every cigar I smoke. The draw was perfect, not too loose, and not too tight. The cigar required a few touchups.

Strength: This was full flavored, but didn't knock me on my butt, and I smoked this in the morning.

Summary: I loved this cigar. I am glad I bought a box. I think these will be a mainstay in my humidor. I would definitely recommend this cigar to others. I give it a 9.5/10
