Add
Mucielago... not that I really enjoyed it.
De La Concha House Blend
El Triunfador (lance & new blend)
and I know I am missing some...

Any reviews on the TB series H? I didn't really dig the original TB...

I love the Pepin Blends and The New Aroma De Cuba and San Crista Bal are great.

5 Vegas Miami are not Pepin's, rather his daughter's.

The difference is that the lines above are advertised as made by them. There is a reason for CI catalogs no longer advertising Pepin's association with 5 Vegas Miami (this after a couple of months not even having the line in the catalog at all save for a couple of mixed samplers, the line has "re-appeared" now with no mention of Pepin's involvement).

From CI's website:

"5 Vegas Miami is a gem of a cigar. Carefully crafted by the talented hands of Jose ’Don Pepin’ Garcia, maker of the industry’s most sought after cigars, this rare blend takes the 5 Vegas brand – already a fan favorite – to a whole new level of cigar superiority..."

I don't know who makes the cigars, but they're definitely still advertised using Pepin's name.

Those are really great for the price. Construction lacks in a lot of them, but the flavor is awesome! One of my go-to yard gars now.

pinotguy · 03-10-2010, 02:17 PM

I don't have time to read through this entire thread but here some further Pepin brands/blends that should be added to the list:

Capanna d'Oro - House Blend for Barclay Rex
Mi Barrio - a 601 brand but is different from the Cubao/601/Murcielago
My Father
My Father Le Bijou 1922
Famous 70 Garcia Family
Maroma Fuerte - "sandwich style" blend for Famous
Siboney Reserve - House Blend for Famous
Signature Garcia - House Blend for Famous
Los Imperialistas - Regional brand for the SE USA (not sure if this is still being made)

Tripp · 04-06-2010, 04:07 PM

From Cigarmonster.com, regarding Tabacos Baez

Quote:

Famous bought this entire brand of delicious treats from Pepin many months ago and has made the brand their own.

Did I miss something? Does anyone know when this happened? I still see TB's at other shops.

Mr B · 04-06-2010, 07:03 PM

I love it when this thread pops back up.

Just had a San Cristobal Lancero last week on the lake. It had a lite dusting of Plume on it. It was one of the BEST smokes I have ever had. And I have had my share of San Cristos too. I cant wait to try the S.C. Del Sol
