Very mild for Pepin, which means medium for anyone else. Lots of cocoa and not as tannic as a lot of his cigars. Good to very good, but not stellar. Definitely worth a try if you're interested in a milder cigar with the Pepin flavor profile.

Very good. I don't find them mild at all. I smoke strong cigars 98% of the time and I find these to be a good med-full in strength. After a few years the really become complex cigars, imo.

Oh, and I don't want to be a grammar nazi but it's Los Habanos. :D

I agree with NCRM about the "strength".


I love 'em. IMO he has never topped this line of cigars. There are quite a few Pepins I haven't tried yet, of course, but the El Rey de los Habanos is my favorite so far.

I thought they were pretty good too. This is the first cigar I smoked that has a cinnimon flavor from start to finish. Holts has them for their 6 packs to go.
