So I tried my first Tobaco Baez made by Don Pepin the other day. I got a fiver and let em rest for several days before trying one; curiosity got the best of me, after smoking it, I probably should have waited a little longer. The pre light smell of the tobacco was excellent; sweet, and almost...

This is a new smoke by Pepin Garcia. Does anyone have any info on it? I know it has a Connecticut wrapper and Nic tobaccos but, that is about all. I havent seen a review on one and, I am curious.

I had this yesterday eveing while doing some yard work; I should have saved it for after the work was done. This was gifted to me by a buddy of mine, sent by way of a co-worker. I hadn't had one of these ever, and wasn't expecting too much. My snobbery took the fore and I was shamed by this...

>>The oily chocolate-brown Ecuadorian leaf used to wrap these beauties combines perfectly with the Dominican binder and filler to create a taste that is rich, creamy and smooth. This line is a Holt's Cigar Company exclusive, which means that each and every Holt's Classic is handcrafted in the...

Well I got a 5'er of these and let em rest for about a week and a half. I just smoked one of em. Following is my eval. of it: It is a Robusto, about 5 inches by 52 rg. A solidly constructed cigar. The corojo oscuro wrapper was smooth without blemish, and the draw was pretty typical of Pepin...

I have noticed the last several times I have placed bids on cbid that the pattern of bidding lacks....sense and logic:confused: I have noticed that as I log on there and look at something I am interested in bidding, and then go to that item, there will be at least 1 bid that is 5 to 10 dollars...

I got home fromn a pretty good day at work, and thought I would settle into a decent cigar and a glass of beer. It was not to be at first. I lit up a RASS, got a glass of beer and a good book and set down on the porch. My wife got home, dead tired and one of my twin boys decided to let us know...

This was my first one after hearing about them on these boards since I joined. A bundle brand, I wondered what the fuss was about and, how can they be as good as everyone said they are. Well I fired this one up within a couple of days of getting them. It wasn't well rested but, firm and sturdy...

I just want to post this tribute to the Camacho Corojo Monarca Maduro. What an excellent cigar! :dr I bought one of these from my local B&M about 6 months ago; I liked it so much, I went back and bought another one and haven't had one since ...that is until today. I gotta say this is one of the...

I got some of these about 2 weeks ago, and just fired one up today; it was one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. :dr Solidly rolled with a good draw and a steady white/grey ash, it was pure pleasure. The wrapper was smooth and had some veins, but was also very oily. The pre-light draw was...

I got an e-mail announcement today about a sale at Tobaccoworld for Padilla 1932 smokes. They are only 3 packs of the various vitolas but at a good price. I ordered a couple of 3 packs as I have been curious about them, and they are by Pepin :dr The link is here...

I had only my second of the Padilla Miami 8/11 today, and I am much more impressed than I was the first time I smoked one. These cigars are well made, tasty, well balanced, complex and just damned good.:dr I'm not gonna go into my ritual of cutting, lighting etc, I already did that the first...

This was one of the Famous smokes five pack deals I got the other day along with a fiver of Pepin Invictos. I didn't let em rest long at all because I was curious and needed to see what these are all about. I have reads posts on these over the past 6 months and needed to find out for myself. I...

I just ordered a set of the 5 pack special Famous Smoke is running. I got some RP Cuban Blends and a 5'er of Pepin Garcia Invictos. I just placed the order yesterday and they arrived today via regular UPS ground! I opened the packing to inspect them and pulled one each out of the packaging. The...

I just finished one of these I bought from my local B&M a few months ago. I let it rest for 2 months before smoking it. It is square pressed and solid. The pre-lite draw was sweet and the light was without problem. I had a little trouble with the burn though in the first 3 inches but, that is...

I hadn't smoked one of these in a long time, and had it sitting at rest in my humi for about a year. The first time I smoked it I couldn't detect the fruity flavors it is described as having. I could only taste the leathery, woody, spicey tastes. But this evening I could taste all of what this...

Well, I got a call from my oldest son today while I was in the office. He told me our house had been broken into and they took some stuff, including some of my cigars. I left the office and got home in record time. The little punkasses had broken in through the basement door (kicked it in) and...

I finally smoked the CAO CX2 robusto freebee I got 9 months ago. I really liked this smoke for a lot of reasons. I screwed up the cut and lost a small bit of the wrapper at the cap but, that was my only problem with it. It was very tasty and had a lot of body. The initial inch was peppery and...

I did a review on these last year, and just had one which had about 10 months on em in my humi. It is even better than I remember. This stick is made from all Nicaraguan Cuban seed habano tobaccos, from the long filler to the binder, to the wrapper. It is extremely tasty, fullbodied, and well...

I've been wondering why cigars made by Jose "Pepin" Garcia taste so different than other non cuban cigars made with the same tobaccos (cuban seed corojo fillers, and cuban seed wrappers from 1997 on to the crop of 2000). I know he is a master roller and a cigars construction is critical to the...
