Default DPG Series JJ Belicoso

Another bomb stick. I enjoyed the maduro version of this cigar, and lately I've really been getting into corojo wrappers, so I had high hopes for this smoke.

Humidor time: 6 weeks

Prelight: The corojo wrapper looks flawless. Draw is moderate, tasting of wood and leather.

Burn: The burn was decent, got a little uneven towards the end. Ash was nice and solid. Draw was moderate. The burn time was about 85 minutes.

Flavor: This smoke was creamy, tasting of wood, leather, and hints of citrus. It had a nice, spicy finish.

Summary: Surprise, surprise: another great stick from DPG. I'm rapidly becoming a Pepin whore. I think I need to snag some blue label to complete the trifecta.

Hm, tough call. I'd have to pick the Cuban Classic (Black Label) as my favorite DPG stick so far...

A couple of months ago I would have agreed with you, but lately I've been finding that corojo wrappers are really tasty.

You must not have tried the Blue label yet. By far my favorite in the line. It surprises me every time I smoke it.

Nope, not yet (see the end of my OP). I plan to pick up a 5er soon.
