For me these have to sit at least 6 months to get that harsh taste out. I've also notice they do better stored closer to 60 RH than 70. :2
My take on them is with some time they are a very nice mild cigar and pair well with a lightly salty scotch. :dr
IMO Pepins thrive at the 60-65% range. If your humi is at 70 I think all your Pepins will feel wet/tight/plugged. If that's not the issue I'd bet it was just a bum roll, and the next one will be better.

Consider it quality control, once they know you they'll stop.
Here's the bottom line for me;
I have thousands of dollars worth of cigars. If I keep growing in this hobby I'll have TENS of thousands of dollars invested in cigars.
Temperature control is in insurance policy. How can I afford not to invest in it? :ss

Giving the cigar time to rest will often improve it; however, when you expect a "Pepin-esque" flavor - time isn't suddenly going to help it develop.

I'm late on this one, sorry:

Leather and nutty maybe?

SSSS #5 is a bit of a mystery. There is either a very ugly triple cap or a double cap. The stick looks like it might have a light box press. The foot is square on two sides and then rounded; this odd semi-box...
