Great, thanks. AZ is close to me

I think 85% of the 200+ cigars in my cooler are some form of Pepin and/or Pete Johnson creation. You cannot go wrong with Newhavana, tremendous customer service.

Got to agree there. The little Petite Robusto in that line is really a fantastic smoke....

Couple other Pepin smokes I regularly enjoy are the little Tat Petite Cazadore Reserva (just had one with AM coffee - awesome), and the Pepin Blue labels.

The biggest problem with his sticks is what one to smoke all so good

nick2021 · 04-03-2011, 03:04 PM

Pepin does make some good smokes, that's for sure!

Bill86 · 04-03-2011, 03:09 PM

Seeing as how this is a Pepin thread, not trying to jack the thread but....Anyone know when the LE 2011 My Father is coming out?

BTW it's worth the price to try one of the 2010 coffins.

Can't go wrong here. Best Tobac on the market as far as I'm concerned. I always find myself going back to it....

...completely agree here. In fact, I have most of a box of those that I'd make you a good deal on.....

Doesn't he manufacture the Cubao line in his Esteli Nicaragua plant as well under EO?

Pepin makes most, if not all, of the EO cigars now. BTW, it's "for", not "under". He doesn't have ownership in EO, he's just a contracted manufacturer.

RatherUneek · 04-04-2011, 11:50 AM

Try a My Father for sure if you haven't already. I had my first on yesterday and it is by far my new favorite.

There are a few Untied Tobaccos, but the one you are talking about is Eddie Ortega, Erik Espinosa and as of almost a year ago, Rocky Patel, who purchased a 50% stake in the company.

I am definately a fan of Pepin's blends. I have been a bit disapointed in some of his own banded sticks due to thier delicate wrappers. They are tasty thought.

Hmmmm...a botl in search of My Fathers...

Slow ur roll there bro!! Haven't you caused enough trouble lately?

AUguy · 04-04-2011, 10:16 PM

DPG has some great sticks. You can't go wrong with any of his blends.

I'm sure you will find a great sampler.

Remo · 04-04-2011, 10:28 PM

Yeah, lots of good samplers around. Hard to decide on which, but if that's the worst thing in life i've got it made.
