Review Notes: I loved this for all the reasons we love other Pepin smokes. Imagine a Blue Label with the rough edges filed down. Intense, but with zero bite and a steady escalation of complexity. The 601 Red robustos I've had were a little uneven, but this was balanced throughout. Maybe this one had more age? Or maybe the thinner gauge flatters this blend? I wish it were two bucks cheaper, but if there's a smoke to overpay for, this is probably it.
