Review Notes: Unlike most other Pepin Garcia blends, I didn't find this to be peppery or leathery. Predominantly meaty, with coffee bean and nut notes, and a slightly sweet twist on the finish. The smoke has an oily texture, coating the palate. It's certainly full-flavored, but it smoked with absolute ease. For those who believe DPG is churning out a bunch of taste-alike blends under different names (and I'm not among them, BTW), you really need to check these out. If this San Cristobal is comparable to anything I've had lately, it's probably the Cohiba Maduro Magicos.
