Review Notes: Comparing this to a Padron is like, well I don't know but they ain't the same. This is a spicy/strong flavor bomb for the experienced palate. I want a real cigar in the evening and the Don Pepin line fits the bill perfectly. It's not for everyone but it's perfect for me. It's all a matter of taste I guess.

Review Notes: If you don't like strong cigars don't smoke Pepins. Don't ruin a good cigar's review because you don't like strong smokes. Macs and Ashtons are easy to find. I don't give out many 9s for flavor and this is a 9 according to my tastebuds.

Review Notes: I can tell from the reviews this wasn't a coincidence. This smoke is fantastic. A wonderful slow burn and smooth, spicy flavors wood, earth and some sweet spice provided me with over an hour of joy. I loved it.
