His flavor profile always includes pepper (which I'm a fan of)...clearly, more research is needed!

Thanks again! I think you're right to season them for a while; the spice should even out a bit.

Pepin has nothing to do with this cigar. This cigar is produced via the Fuente family.
Quite possibly my favorite cigar to date!

I did not notice any pepper at all during the smoke. It wasn't too strong at all, as a matter of fact it started off pretty mild.

I posted a review on it here, if any of you are interested:

Thanks for the link.
I didn't mean to hijack the thread; I've just been anxious to smoke one of these and haven't had the time.
