I have to get ahold of a My Father,,,, I have to try it.

Also he no longer makes the one for the Top Shelf Cigar Company, but the Blue band is a pretty good smoke.

Something has happened to the DPG Blues IMO. I had a large stock of the older sticks with the original bands. Ordered a fiver of the new ones not too long ago and they taste not as good. It's like someone poured water into a freshly ground high grade cup of Sumatran coffee while I wasn't looking. The taste is watered down and seems 'dirtier.' The smell I loved when you clip the cap is practically gone now. The wrapper looks different. Anyway, after a few of these it seems to my palate that these sticks have gone from a Grade A must have for the humi to a Grade C bordering on D.

DPG blends are my favorite cigars, along with Illusione, Padron, and some Olivas. The My Father is a good cigar, but I doubt anything was made in a DPG factory he didn't know about. Makes a good story, and I have read it too, but think it is just that.

LOL I was talking about the Top Shelf Cigar Company Blue Band not Pepin's Blue Label.

Yeah I thought that might be the case which is why I stuck in DPG to be clear on my end. Sorry for the confusion.

Great stuff. I'd like to try 'em all.

Whats your thought of DPG Cuban Classic? I have a good offer on BOX, and Have never tried DPG Cuban Classic!

[MrRogers]

The only cigar that DPG makes that I enjoy are the brown label tats, and yes, I have tried nearly all the smokes on the list. The LADC EE is a miss IMO and I'm sad to see him destroy the regular line LADC's.

The Cuban Classic is an excellent smoke. If it is the Perla then I definitly recommend them.

[bxcarracer]

Couldnt agree more. I love the Tat brown and liked the original blue label ok. The new blue aint the same cigar. I love the standard LADC and dislike the EE. They are now all going to be DPG efforts, so I am hording all the NOS I can find.

The Cuban Classic is my favorite. I'm new to this but have had the luxury of having a great friend who has every cigar known to man. I've smoked a huge amount - the Cuban Classic is the one that stands out to me.
