Anyone try the EO no. 21?

AD720 · 07-02-2009, 06:55 PM

I'm always a little leery of the CI hype - has anyone tried one for these? At around $40 for 21 the price is right.

jerseystepup · 07-02-2009, 06:57 PM

Havent tried them no.. but i have a 5pack from cbid on the way so ill let you know.. the thing that appealed to me is that they come from the same factory as cubao and 601

AD720 · 07-02-2009, 07:08 PM

Let us know!

These are a good buy and a tasty smoke. They are from Eddie Ortega the maker of the 601 line. Nice med/full smoke with a Connie wrapper.

Col. Kurtz · 07-02-2009, 08:33 PM

Yes, I have had them. A little bitter on the light, not too bad. The 601 black label is much, much better.

The Kioki troop support connecticutt is better to me than the EO601. You might want to compare a fiver of both before you buy a bundle of either.

I think they're pretty good, especially the Maduro.

shadow king · 07-02-2009, 09:41 PM

I think some are getting the 601's confused with the EO 21's lol....

alley00p · 07-02-2009, 09:49 PM

I had a bundle of the robustos that were a good smoke for a decent price. My first was given to me at an event at my B&M by the rep - he said that they would be coming out soon (last year). That one was a Toro size and it was also a very nice cigar for that price point. I think they go for about $40/bundle or so in the B&M's around here.

Cuabo and 601 are DPG blended smokes. I am not sure these are DPG smokes...

that was my question. I love the 601's and the Cubaos but I didn't know whether or not all EO cigars were DPG blends

TXRebel · 07-02-2009, 11:16 PM

EO Brands lists Cubaos and 601s as Pepins but not the #21's.

My bad, I meant eo21

They are OK, a 5Vegas Gold and Kioki is just as good or better.

jerseystepup · 07-04-2009, 08:11 AM

I got my 5 pack in the mail yesterday.. going to let them rest a bit then give a report back.. the size is the double corona, and they definatly DONT look like something peppin had a hand in...

roughrider · 07-04-2009, 06:57 PM

I tried a few. They're kind of bland.

shadow king · 07-05-2009, 01:58 AM

Thats a nice selection of smokes you have to the right of the EO's lol

07-05-2009, 02:15 PM

i think rocky patel or nestor makes them.

jerseystepup · 07-13-2009, 09:20 PM

OK i havent tried one out of the 5pack i got yet... but im wondering if anyone has heard anyhting more on these... I know theyre advertised as coming from the E&O factory in miami... which is where the 601's and cubao's are blended by pepin.. however no description mentions pepin having anything to do with them.. BUT the thing that struck me as odd... if you go to the CI site, and in the search function you type in don pepin... ALL of his cigars come up AND these come up as well... any thoughts on who may blend this as of yet?

i must say, the wrapper and size doesnt look like his style..

07-13-2009, 09:26 PM

im pretty sure rocky makes them. at least he used too.
