I just purchased this a few weeks ago as my first online purchase. What an amazing deal. I loved them all except the legends. I think Pepin is my top brand right now. I also really love the 601 maduro and cant wait to try the other 601s. I was a huge RP fan before Pepin. Im making my way through the RP flagship sampler from CI currently. Id have to give the nod to Pepin.

I have been wanting to try the DPG Blue Label for so long. Now everyone says they are not as good as the old ones.
Should I still try to find sum or are they not worth it anymore??

Thanks Lance

Just ordered the Don Pepin Super Sampler 5-pack from Atlantic and I'm having trouble finding information on one of the cigars listed in the sampler... here's a list of sticks in the sampler:

1-SERIES JJ BELICOSO,
1-SERIES JJ SUBLIME MADURO,
1-BLUE LABEL IMPERIALES,
1-CUBAN CLASSIC BLACK 1973,
1-CUBAO LTD CUBAN CAZADORES

I can find information on all the cigars, execpt the Cuabo LTD caban cazadores... eveything I find on the cuabo brand lists the names of their cigars as #1-#7... is there something I'm missing here? Do one of their numbered cigars go by a different name as well? Any info as to the identity of this cigar would be appreciated!

By far my favorite Pepin is his Vegas Cubanas. Second would be the Tat. With the 5 Vegas Miami coming in third.

Just smoked my first DPG (that I'm aware of), a San Cristobal Supremo. It was an incredible two hour smoke. Complex, full flavor, and full bodied are vast understatements of it. It's late, but I took lots of notes. Look for a review tomorrow (later today technically).

Great post!

One of my first DPG was a San Cristobal that I absolutely love and continue to buy. I've had the 601 and I like it too. So when the devils site came up with a 15 sampler I watched and waited. He's my score:

[SIZE=3]The Best of Don Pepin Garcia Sampler includes:
3 - Don Pepin Garcia Blue Generosos (6" x 50)
3 - Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles (5" x 50)
3 - San Cristobal Clasico (5" x 50)
3 - 5 Vegas Miami Toro (6" x 4
3 - 601 Serie Green Oscuro Trunco (6" x 50)[/SIZE]


I'm excited but I've got to wait!

I thought Padilla opened up their own cigar outfit in Nicurauga. My understanding was Pepin no longer rolls for Padilla. Could be misinformed - but that is what I was told

He revised it after his first post, maybe you missed it. Padilla opened up a shop in Miami and some cigars will be made there (as far as I know this hasn't started yet but the shop is open). And he is having his cigars made from another factory, not using Pepin anymore. But Padilla has said the blends are the same. Don't know if thats true, but the new Miami in the Robusto size really kicks butt!!
