Yep, it's all about the supply and demand. Demand for most older NCs seems to be lower than for "fresh" NCs simply due to the way that market works. Most NC manufacturers are constantly rolling out new products and pimping the hell out of them instead of sticking with a consistent, signature...
I don't see anything wrong with sending the troops decent cigars that you personally just don't care for. Sure, you don't want to send them crap, but the OP's cigars were not exactly dog rockets. It's received some decent reviews and I know some people who like them.

I have at least 5 more Pepin blends that I haven't tried in my humidor. I think there are another 10 on the market that I'll probably never get around to.
Cigar.com Corojo Robusto vs. DPG Blue Robusto
I had no intentions of doing a comparison type review of the Cigar.com Corojo robusto when I selected it. I was in the mood for something spicy so I did what I always do in that situation: I went to the DPG section in my Vinotemp and picked...
