Don Jose "Pepin" Garcia - Page 2

TheTraveler · 08-19-2009, 07:00 AM

Thanks for an informative thread ... to the OP and the participants. I've read mostly good things about DPG blends on this forum and my interest is piqued. And ...

I haven't tried a single cigar from that list !!! So I'm a total blank slate when it comes to DPG and will truly enjoy my trip through that list.

You've given me a goal: I will try every cigar on that list at least twice (providing of course they're all still in production). DPG cigars are what I'll buy from here forward (with maybe one or two side trips to old favorite cigars) until I've tried them all. Maybe I'll do that with other lines too if this turns out well.

Thanks!

Edit: And DON'T throw those Obsidians out into the rain! I'll give them a good home.

I hope you have a fat wallet. Obtaining even one of each of those will be costly.

Have fun thats what I have been doing for the past year and a half and I still have 15 brands to go. Don't forget about c-bid, they always have Pepin's for cheap.
I didn't know Casa Royale used the same wrapper as Tat black. Casa Royale is probably one of my least favorite Pepin blends. I also didn't see JJ maduro on there.
thanks for the taking the time and effort to put this up.
I was curious as to what you pepin fans think of Casa Torano Signature series?I tried these recently and loved it

Top shelf Signature Select has been discontinued. Anybody know a good place to get Los Impirialistas from?

TheRiddick · 08-18-2009, 11:51 PM

And where is Ambos Mundos? And the new EO Brands Veracruz (Nicaraguan fillers and binder and Veracruz grown maduro wrapper)?

Thanks for the list!

I was wondering when someone was going to build a shrine for DPG. Ta da!

08-19-2009, 08:07 AM

Great list... As a newbie I've been wondering how cigar makers correlate with brands. This makes teh DPG line clear. I appreciate the effort put into this list. Thank you.

The only Troya ever produced by DPG was the Clasico, which was a Nicaraguan puro, and which is no longer produced by Pepin. The Connecticut and Cameroon lines have nothing to do with Pepin, now or ever.

Great topic and informative list, you've given me some sticks to track down for sure. A RG bump for you for taking the time to do this!

TomHagen · 08-19-2009, 03:58 PM

also House Blend @ De La Concha in NYC... about to fire one up!!

(he might also make the houseblend (same cigar) @ Barclay Rex in NYC (don't know fo sure))

I think I like the Serie JJ out of all the one's I've tried the best. It's kind of creamy and medium but still has a nice bit of spice to it.

08-22-2009, 12:26 AM

1.) Tatuaje Reserva J21
2.) Padilla Signature 1932
3.) Los Impirialistas
4.) DPG Cuban Classic
5.) El Centurion

Honorable Mention: Everything else he makes lol

I had the Padilla 1932..but I'm pretty sure it was a post Pepin one. Still really good. The Cuban Classic is a nice punchy, spicy stick.

I've never had the Tatuaje how do they stack up as far as spice and strength to the Cuban classic?
