Pepin Whores Unite!

Holt's has a bellicoso sampler with Pepins. Is this a good deal?

[Papichulo]

Awesome, I have purchased from them in the past.

I think this is a better Pepin/Padilla sampler -

Looks good, but I still have to check out Holt's before I purchase.

I think I would like to do some complaining. I have had some bad luck with the new black label cuban classic series. Is it just me or are the wrappers on these cigars very thin? I bought 10-15 of them a while back and several have had wrapper problems. I tried smoking a figurado yesterday and the wrapper started coming apart right after the I lit the foot. I have another one that has wrapper problems as well (trust me, humidors are fine). They just feel really thin.

All in all, I am not very impressed with this series. The cigars just don't look, feel and taste as good as the blue labels or the series JJ (sublimes or salomons).

I purchased a 5 pack of the figurados and I have had breakage issues. I agree that the wrapper is VERY thin.

I haven't had a chance to compare these to the JJs yet but I actually like the Black Label a little better than the Blue. I haven't had any wrapper problems with the ones I've smoked, though I haven't quite been through 10-15 of them yet. I'm sure part of the reason I prefer the Black to the Blue is that I like smaller RG cigars and there aren't really any in the Blue line.

I've smoked a handful each of the Black Label 1977s and 1952 and haven't had a wrapper problem with one yet (knock on wood). Humidor problem, user error?

I haven't had any wrapper problems on the smaller ones, but on the figurado, the robusto and the toro, the wrappers seem a little thinner than usual. I think at least for the larger sizes, these cigars are still a little harsh, especially compared to the series JJ sublimes and the blue label invictos.

On a side note, I think they changed the band on the blue labels a little. The bands look a little fancier in my latest box purchase (rolled in Nov 06). I didn't take the time to compare them directly with my boxes from Aug, but I think they changed it a little.

A very good sampler, I got one of those about 5 months ago. I have smoked a few of them, and the rest are getting a bit more rest; I'll smoke them in the spring when it gets warmer.

So, I guess it’s time that I stand up and admit that I have a problem…
Hello, my name is Shawn…and I’m a Pepin Whore…it’s been only minutes since my last purchase of Pepin cigars, and I’m already starting to urn for another purchase…




But really, in the last three days I have purchased a box of the CI Legends Yellow Label – By Pepin, and just moments ago I ordered an Old Henry Sampler and a Tatuaje Sampler from Holts. Even though the Tatuaje sampler was like $6dollers more than the catalog listed it for, I just couldn’t pass it up.


So I now have, or have had (I’m not where I can actually count what I have left in the cooler but this is what I have bought), or I’m waiting on them to arrive, the following:

1 - Padilla Miami 8/11 Torpedo (6.25x52)
1 - Havana Soul Gordo (5.5x46)
1 - Habana Leon Torpedo (5.5x52)
1 - Nacionales W Toro (6x50)
1 - Sancti Spiritus Churchill (7.13x50)
1 - Vegas Cubanas Delicias (7x50)
1 - El Rey De Los Habnos Toro (6x50)
1 - Hirsh y Garcia Corona (5x44)
1 - Cuban Diplomat Kole (6.5x4
6 - Habana Leon Robusto (5x50)
12 - Padilla Edicion Especial Achilles (6x50)
20 - Legends Pepin Garcia – Yellow Label (5.7x54)
1 – Old Henry Corona (5.5x44)
1 – Old Henry Robusto (5x50)
1 – Old Henry Toro (6x52)
1 – Old Henry Churchill (7x4
1 – Old Henry Torpedo (6.125x52)
1 – Tatuaje Cojonu (6.5 x 53)
1 – Tatuaje Regios (5.5 x 50)
1 – Tatuaje Reserva SW (7 x 47)
1 – Tatuaje Tainos (7.63 x 49)
1 – Tatuaje Unicos (6.13 x 52)

I want to purchase a box of the Habana Leon in either the Robusto or Torpedo, preferably torpedo, and also a Box of the Nacionales W in either the Toro or El Mundo size, and possibly (I’ll wait and see how they are) a box of the Old Henry.

Plus, I’m hoping to get to the El Rey de Los Habanos factory/store front later this year, I may be going to northern Florida with my girlfriend and her family in October, for there yearly fishing trip to Destin, Fl. and I already told her that if we go we will be taking a day or a day and a night to head to Miami, and she is all for it.

Now back to my waiting on the UPS guy for tomorrow’s shipment of the Yellow Labels, and the MAXX I ordered the other day.

I've had no problems with the wrapper on the DP Black label 1970 (belicoso).

I like them, and place them slightly above Havana Soul and below the Blue Label in body. They are yummy.

Hello Shawn !
I too am a Pepin Whore!! I have liked every one I have smoked.
I'm on my third Club Stogie Pepin sampler, with other smokes coming from trades & Holt's. The 8/11s have been great (but $$$).

Post some pictures from the factory when you get back
