That looks good... so did you buy that box or just take pics? Let us know what you thought of the cigar if you smoked one.

I'm a Pepin fan and I'll be the first to admit, he seems to be spreading himself thin. I'd much prefer he just stick to doing a few blends and doing them really well. These look really good though, never heard of Giralda. I might have to pick up a few.

ehhh no pun intended. I'm a fan of Pepin, don't get me wrong. I have always enjoyed his sticks but with him doing so many different sticks, it's hard to keep up. Kind of puts a sour taste in my mouth.

I think he just producing the Giralda for Forcade and Son. Giralda has been around a while. The difference between he and Rocky is that he is a tobacco man first and Rocky is a lawyer. With his new frakin HUGE factory in Nica, he can produce many million cigars with no problem. Not to mention him now growing tobacco and the 4-5 years worth of stock he has on hand. I don't fault him for letting his creativity go and coming out with new blends.

Greg, it seems like you write the same thing every 2 or 3 weeks.

BTW, I too enjoy Pepin and I'll admit to not liking some of his selection, but overall his blends are pretty darn good. From top to bottom they are very solid from the cheap stuff like Fumadores or Tobaccos Baez SF an LHO to Tatuaje or My Father. He doesn't seem to be spreading himself too thin to me and IMO his brand quality does not seem to be suffering since his production volume is relatively low ( a lot of the things he makes appear to be in low production runs). Anyways, still enjoying DPG Blues like I have for about 2 and 1/2 years and hope to continue trying some more of his cigars in the future.
