Not sure if many have tried these, but they are made by Don Pepin Garcia.

Met him last week at a Habana Premium in Albany, NY and he recommended them to me. He told us they were blended as in the taste of Cohiba.

Bought a torp and got a free robusto. Mid priced stick around $6 for the torp. Smoke them both and I thought they were both great. Smoked them while fishing, so I wasnt able to pay alot of attention to it, held it in my mouth for longer than I should have, and smoked it faster than I should have.

These both burned razor sharp and had great flavor without the usual Pepin "pepper" kick in the mouth. Never got harsh, and I smoked both down to the last inch.

Gotta get my hand on a box now!

If you come across some, give 'em a try.

I picked one up at the same event and enjoyed the smoke. I do prefer the heavier 'pepper' in some of his other cigars. Definately recommened.

The Vegas Cubana is a real nice smoke,not too peppery but still has that great Pepin flavor.It's a stick that hasn't let me down yet.

Nice reviews here by all
Smoked this cigar recently and it was very good. It was well over a year old, had none of the spice pepin is known for. Very smooth, creamy, and nutty like.

I've smoked about a dozen of these. I like them as I do most DPG blends. I still have a few in the humi and I've started to reach for these less and less. Reason being, that if I want a Pepin, I'll grab something with that pepper kick. If I don't, there are other sticks I would pick over this.

I got mine through CI and I thought they were harsh ROTT, and after a few months they came around.
