I don't get Don Pepin Garcia

Tyler, I will blaspheme and say that I sorta feel the same way about cubans. Every time I've lit one, it was with the anticipation of having my taste buds taken for a magic carpet ride, but I have always been disappointed. I think for both of us, it's just a matter of flavor profile preference. I like most Pepins, because I really like Nicaraguan tobacco. Your question is valid though, I get it.

I will continue to hold the torch for the Tat browns and La Riquezas because I think they're great, but compared to a nice Cuban?

they suck balls!

Anyway.... as for not getting DPG smokes, then you just aren't supposed to. Its better to know that and admit rather than continually spending money and smoking stuff you don't actually like. I feel the exact same way about Fuente, and especially Camacho, but others love them. More for them.

Thanks for the confession - that's a good anecdote to put it into perspective.
