Review Notes: I read the term "Pepin whore" in a cigar blog while searching for a certain review. Some guy was lambasting his fellow BOTL for their adoring opinions of Don Pepin smokes and I think I may be one. My most recent had about 5 months age on it and delivered the wonderful flavors of cedar, coffee and cocoa others have described and I had yet to experience. The smoke was smooth and full. I would describe it as mesmerizing. A unique experience that I have had with very few cigars.

Review Notes: Although I didn't realize it I have rested my Pepins for 3 months. The second was better than the first and prompted me to bid on a box which I won at a decent price. I will patiently wait (yeh right) for a few more months on what, I feel, will be a glorious smoke down the road. My limited experience with ISOMs is enough to know this is a special cigar.

Review Notes: I did not let these rest like I should have. Very heady, strong and flavorful with great potential. I have 4 of the 5 left and I will let them rest to enjoy the full experience this cigar has to offer.
