Default Re: DPG Blue....New Label=Tweaked Blend?

I did see a discrepancy as to whether this was an ecuadorian wrapper or nicaraguan in MANY places... if you look at reputable retailers and reviews there has recently been numerous conflicting reports... maybe wrapper/blend change, maybe the new 4 vitolas added to line neccesitated it, maybe just darker leaf...

ps. AladdinSane great to hear from you bro! stones rock!

At the latest Pepin event, his head of operations said it was a new band and that was it. The cigar is the exact same. We even talked about the pink on the black labels and he told me the story of how it happened. He was not happy about that one.

I tried one of the Fundadores on Friday and I remember thinking the wrapper was pretty light actually. The taste was typical DPG Nicaraguan tobacco flavor but since it was my first blue label Pepin in quite a while, I can't say for sure whether the blend has changed. I would think it's doubtful though.
