Pepin Whores Unite!

[The Saint]

I bought a 5 pack of blue labels from CI yesterday. Good deal, buy 4 get 1 free. So I picked up 5 of the robustos for 24 bucks, can't wait to sink my teeth into these!

A good buy. Hehe, I was bidding for a 5'er of the Pepin Blue Label Robustos a few days ago and, some guy muscled in. He knocked out another guy I was bidding against and then he knocked me out; he tried to get 2 fivers for 39 bucks; he eventually lost out to another guy; they each got one fiver each; he got 1 fiver for 43 bucks, and the other guy got one for 45 bucks!
You did very well

With the fifth one being free, that is a good deal. I was also going to order four Old World Reserves to get a fifth free but instead, they wanted to give me an extra Invictos. Apparently, regardless of what you order, the freebies will be the cheapest single ordered. They almost had my business.

I just got the new Holt's catalog yesterday and they had these Old Henry's, which are made by Pepin. They run about 4-5 bucks a stick, which is not too bad.

Has anyone tried these and if so, which other Pepin are they closest to?

The Don Pepin Garcia Black Labels are suppose to be out in December/January, so you might be able to add those to the list.

Aaron, they are already available in a sampler from Tobaccoworld.

I actually emailed them about that and they said they weren't available yet. I wanted to buy them in singles and not in the sampler (since I already have the other smokes), so maybe they are only selling them in the sampler at this point in time.

Yep, I have a box of them. Not my favorite Pepin, but not bad. The Pepins made for cigar king are much better, but the Rio Tabacs aren't bad.

They are made in the Tobacalera Tropical factory.
