Best Pepin Cigar?

Tatuaje Cabinet Series, specifically the Regios. I'd really like the San Cristobals if they didn't tar up pretty bad at the head of the cigar, I know it's superficial but it grosses me out.
 
I can't pick one either. There are so many good ones. Here are my favorites so far:

Padilla Miami Lancero
Padilla 1932 Lancero
Tat East Coast (I agree with Scottie that the West Coast isn't that good)
Havana Soul Torpedo
San Cristobal Guajiro
601 Red Label Rabito
601 Blue Label Torpedo
 
I'd have to say...being the Pepin whore that I am :cb

Cabaiguan Guapo (unbelievable smoke)
or
601 Oscuro
or
San Cristobal Churchill
or
Tatuaje RC-184

I love the Black Label Cuban Classic Belicoso, and just about everything else Pepin has put out, but the above are my favorite. Now if only the Centurion lived up to all that it could have been. Still a nice smoke, I just have major issues with the wrapper.

There are so many Pepin blends I have yet to try...with the handful I've had I really enjoyed the JJ and 1932
 
If I were to put them in order of favorites that I have had, it would look something like this:

Ashton San Cristobal
Padilla Miami 8&11
DPG Blue
DPG Black
Cabaiguan
Tatuaje
El Centurion
Padilla Signature 1932
Tatuaje Havana VI
601 Habano
DPG JJ
601 Connecticut
Tatuaje Serie P
El Rey de Los Habanos
Little Havana Overruns
CI Legends Yellow Label
5 Vegas Miami
Fumadores
Vegas Cubanas

I don't think I forgot any that I have had, but I can't be sure. Still need to get a hold of 601 Maduro, JJ Maduro, Troya Clasico and Old Henry to try them.
 
For the money I would say the DPBlues.
Money aside, the Padilla Miami 8/11 or the Tat J21 reserve. SC makes it a close 3way tie. All aside my next box purchase will be the SC's.

Personally I won't disparage any Pepin product.......would smokem all.
 
I do love the Havana VI line....haven't got to try the San Cristobal's, but I have high hopes for 'em...mixes two of my favorites, Pepin and Ashton.
 
I can't pick. I still haven't had them all yet. I know I am excited to try the RC184 that I picked up. The El Centurion was really good, and strong. I've seen it plant a few regulars in their seats at the shop.
 
I am still in the process of trying all of them the jj series is a little mild for my tastes,just tried the blue today love it!overruns were great!vegas cubanas excellent,I am loving everything they make,including the fumadores,but I got a fiver of the white labels and all but 1 were plugged unsmokable....

those were white label tats...
 
I think my fav is the Padilla 1932 corona gorde.

The Tatuaje cabinets are great and I really like the 601 Habano.

When I asked Pepin last week he said his favorite is the JJ series, I'm not sure if he answered only talking about the Don Pepin Garcia line, or all that he blends, since I don't speak Spanish.
