Pepin Blue Exquisitos

[QiCultivator]

Pepin Blue is one of my favorite cigars and the corona gorda is one of my favorite sizes, so of course these intrigue me. Unfortunately, aside from cigar bid, I haven't seen these anywhere, online or in any shops. There is minimal information that comes up when I search on the web. Anybody know any places that sell these or just have any general information about them?
Thanks!

Actually, I just found them at CI...boxes of 50 for just over $300. I wonder if this vitola is CI-exclusive?

Cigars International and Cigar.com have them. They have boxes of 50 for $305.95 ($6.12 per), CI has 5 packs for $32.00 ($6.40 per), and Cigar.com has singles for $6.75.

They are one of four new sizes.

Demitase (petite corona) (4.5" x 32)
Exquisitos (corona gorda) (5.6" x 46)
Preferidos (preferido) (5.1" x 42)
Fundadore (lancero) (7.5' x 3

They are very new and not widely distributed, yet. But I also wonder about CI exclusivity. I asked the owner of my b&m to see if she can order me a box of Preferidos. I'll know for sure in a few days.

I noticed CI doesn't offer the Fundadore. hmmm

Update: just found boxes of 50 online at Cigarsinthekeys.com for $289.00 ($5.78 per).

I just got a 5-pack of these guys from cbid. They have the new design on the labels, the first DPG blue I have gotten with the new label design. I plan to try one in a couple of weeks (if I can wait). Do you think these would be really good after 6 months or a year?

Small ring guage Pepin blues sound very very interesting.

If the petite Tat browns or the Havana VI Angeles are any indication we are in for a real treat.

Was just browsing over at Holt's and they have all four of the new sizes, so these are not a CI exclusive.

Yeah they sound damn good... I mean I love a good toro pepin blue and I love smaller RG smokes... so I bet the smaller RG pepin blues are to die for!

No they are not. I got my box of Preferidos yesterday from the local b&m and they look amazing with nice, dark wrappers. BTW, I can't say it enough, the Fundadores are really, really good!
