Do they taste like the other Old Henry's? Would you say they are similar to the black labels?

Man, I really was not impressed with the other Old Henry I smoked, but for the price and the fact that these are lanceros I really want to pull the trigger.

I think they are better balanced than the larger rg Old Henry's I have had. I did the other end of the split with jkorp. Found them to be a very full flavored smoke that should age well.
PM me your addy and I will send you one to try.

First of all, I want to thank Bob (The Bobarian) for sending me an Old Henry lancero to try. I actually smoked it tonight so I could figure out if I wanted to buy a box.

These are definitely more to the full side of medium-to-full bodied. A little harsh like the other Old Henry I smoked, not as bad, but still a little too rough for my tastes. These are not as smooth or refined as the DPG Blue labels and the DPG Serie JJs. It was also rather one dimensional with the same profile throughout.

The construction was great. Not a bad cigar, one I would smoke again, but I will probably pass on buying a box.

I guess it is almost time to buy a box of Tatuaje Especiales.

Thanks again Bob - you package will be in the mail tomorrow.

THanks for the review on the OHL, can't wait to try one.

I'm a Pepin fiend!

So far my favs are:
1. Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles
2. San Cristobal
3. El Centurion

I'm planning on trying 601's and I have a few Pepin Blue Labels resting.

I also am really excited about what I've tasted from Illusione (even though it isn't Pepin, it's similar in taste profile to the Havana VI.)

Glad to see there's a support group for those like me

The 601 green labels are incredible!

The El Centurion was pretty good, but for the price, I don't know, same with Cristobal. DPG Black is still #1 for me, 601 green could be a close second with Tat East Cost or 1932's.

I've got the Cigar King Pepin Sampler coming from a trade, and I can't wait to try some of these obscure blends.

Glad to hear you get to try some of those cigarking blends, I have had one 601 green label and thought it was fantastic, really strong cigar I thought. I bought a box of the El Centurions when they first came out. A little disappointed in the first one, then I had one about a month ago and was happy with where they are heading. I am sure this will be a great cigar in about a year.

No doubt, but man the ElC's cost. I have only had one, at my B&M, so maybe after I smoke another one or two I'll change my tune.

But I've got get some of those 601 Greens, just an incredible smoke. I truly hope they are consistent, because that one I had was just a joy to smoke.

What El did you try, I have the Guerreros, but I am really curious to see how the Gladiadores are.

Never tried the Pepin, opened the old box up and there I had one in there I was not aware of: Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic. I guess that would make me a Pepin Nub Whore....still doesn't sound right.

It think it was a little larger than Robusto, probably the Emperadores. My local B&M only carries that size.
