'08 Don Pepin Garcia 1977 Petit Lancero

Cigar: Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1977 Petit Lancero
Year: 2008
Cutter: Xikar
Lighter: Ronson Jet-Lite
Beverage: Coke Zero



Pre-cut: This cigar has a oily light brown wrapper thai is smooth and is finished with a beautiful pig-tailed cap. Pre-light draw is earthy with a hint of spice and chocolate. The cigar has that famous barnyard smell that I love so much.





1st third: Starts out with a good amount of black pepper along with some earthy notes. This size cigar feels very good in the hand and reminds me of why I prefer smaller RG smokes. I note a hint of cedar on the nose exhale combined with pepper.







2nd third: Spice has taken a backseat to the cedar and earth flavors. The smoke is very creamy and seems to coat the tongue and mouth. The finish is nice and long while at the same time being very clean. The nose exhale still produces peppery spice with the cedar taste.





Final third: Spice has returned but is nicely balanced with the earth and cedar. Some tastes of leather creeping in and the nicotine content is showing itself. The nose exhale is full of spice and cedar but not in an overbearing way.







Overall this cigar has a little bit less peppery spice than the other Cuban Classics. The amount it has seems to blend nicely with the earth and cedar flavors. The burn was razor sharp for the entire cigar and it continually gave off clouds of fragrant white smoke. Pepin is truly a master at his craft and this vitola makes his blending skills shine.

Re: '08 Don Pepin Garcia 1977 Petit Lancero

Great review! I didn't even know this stick came in a petite lancero...I know there is a lancero but they're had to find and pricey. I'm going to have to find some of these!

I agree that Pepin is an absolute genious. These days I think at least every other cigar I have is at least made by the Pepin family if not blended by them as well.

Not sure but I these may have been a limited release. I know one of the local B&M's had them in for a little while and then they were never seen there again.

I love my DPG ashtray. Paid $17.00 for it last year. I went and checked for another BOTL but the shop was sold out of them.
