So this has been done a million times, but I have never seen this one. What is your favorite Pepin stick? It doesn't have to be made by him, but can be blended by him.

Also, what is the best pepin stick for it's price?

I'll try to compile a list in a day or so.

I thought that I saw that somewhere, but I was wanting a no limit list.

+1 on the El Centurion, especially the Emperadores.

Right now, the best value to me is the Cubao #5.

That's a tough one because now you're talking about Tatuaje's too!

My favorite Pepin is probably the Blue Label and the Series JJ (Natural)

For the price I would have to say the Tatuaje Ambos Mundos Robusto No. 2 or Toro No. 2. (Pepin makes them for Pete in his new factory in Esteli, Nicaragua)

Hirsh y Garcia is, by far, the best to me. The best value? Little Havana Overruns.

This is a really hard question for me, as I've become a real Pepin ho over the last couple months. I have a personal goal to smoke every single one of his sticks ... haven't even come close yet, lol.

But thus far, the Tatuaje Verocu West Coast is the best Pepin ... actually the best CIGAR I've probably ever smoked. The Tatuaje Black is probably 2nd (on both lists).

Probably the Tat Reserve SW.

for the price, I'd have to say the Ashton benchmade blended by don pepin. For $3 a stick, there is nothing like it.

Serie JJ Maduro or the Black Cuban Classic.

I can't decide.

The Tat Zona del Este was the best one I have had. Regular production stuff I would have to go with the Hirsh y Garcia.

None. I have not found any that I really liked. That I can remember, that is.
