How mild are El Rey de los Habanos
Can anyone provide me with an idea as to how mild the El Rey de los Habanos by Don Pepin are?

I went to a not to local B & M looking for them as he sells other DPG lines, and he informed me that they didn't sell well as they were too too mild.

Are they milder than a Cabaiguan? Or perhaps more like a Macanudo

I tried posting this earlier, but I think my connection crapped out and now I can't see it so forgive me if this is a double post.

Thanks

AKA: Pepin Red Label. I don't think they are mild, at all. A solid med/full to me. Most of the reviews at top25cigar agree.

Re: How mild are El Rey de los Habanos
Some Pepin blends are smoother than others. I'm not fond of every Pepin I have smoked, but have tried the El Rey de los Habanos (courtesy of LeafHog) & found it to my liking. I don't remember it being an airball at all.

Re: How mild are El Rey de los Habanos
They are not mild and they are awesome, especially the original release. An overlooked member of the Pepin line (if there is such a thing). I easily like them as much as the blue labels, and better than the black labels.

Re: How mild are El Rey de los Habanos
NiceAshCigars has them at a very good price and decribes them as medium-full.
I picked up a fiver corona and don't regret it one bit!
IMO it's definitely closer to "medium" than "full".

Re: How mild are El Rey de los Habanos
I would describe them as medium full myself.. Very tasty though. Thanks for the great link to nice ash! Those are good prices.. I may have to pull the trigger on a box.

Re: How mild are El Rey de los Habanos
How would you compare/contrast these w/ DPG Vegas Cubanas? Really starting to love those. Thanks.

Re: How mild are El Rey de los Habanos
IMO the ERdlH is one of DPG's best offerings.

Well, I have now smoked both and can say that they are very different from each other.

The ERdlH are far from mild, definitely a med-full bodied cigar. Very strong woody/nutty flavor whereas the VC are more earthy / loamy in flavor. VCs are a heavier cigar.

Both are outstanding in my book!

Gotta agree with this. The VC's are more medium than the ERdH's, imo.
