I picked the JJ, it's my favorite of the ones you have listed... Also, the JJ Maduro is IMO the best maduro on the market, all others pale in comparison...

The JJ maduro is probably my favorite cigar, but I've been hitting the blues pretty hard since I got a box offa Vin. They hang with ya. I like a smoke that pollutes me for a day or two. :)
The flavors in the JJ maduro, when they're right, beat the blue by a blue mile. :tu

I chose the Brown because my absolute favorite is the Reserva J21.

Well I've only tried the Black, JJ, blue and Miami, I'm going with the black, tied with blue/miami next. I have one Black waiting in my humi for a nice day off. I'd really like to try a lancero of any of them, but it seems I have to save up and try them all :|

I went with the Blue but it is close. I have a box of the blue corona gordas and they are REALLY good. I love the Miami toros and the Tat Noellas though. Heck... I love em all!!!

I like the Blue as well, But I also like the Cuban Classic. My only beef with it is that it can be so delicate. I have had more than one come unwrapped on me.

The last year I have noticed that as well on a lot of different DPG sticks. This last box of blues I got though are not that way at all.

Tat Brown but of the more everyday priced smokes I would go with the Blue or Cuban Classic and of the cigars not listed I would go with My Father.
Mr. Ed
08-09-2009, 10:03 AM
Sadly, Cabaiguan is not listed. One of his most underrated blends it seems and my favorite. As a second I would pick the Blue.

So far it's the JJ, but there are still a number I have not yet tried.
TomHagen

OY! Decisions, decisions...

Tat Brown it is! So much variety there, with a great vitola line-up...

Right now, probably the Padilla 1932 old blend :tu

08-09-2009, 12:09 PM
BL !
However, if I have the time I really enjoy the RC184's / Brown.
I also like the Padilla 1932 when they were made by DPG.

Hirsh y Garcia. By far, the best Pepin blend, imo. Followed by the Cabaiguan.

:tpd:, if you like a spice and a strong smoke.

I chose the Blue form the list but doesn't the La Requeza line have a DPG touch?

Make mine San Cristobal, but there are some others
that I like almost as much. Haven't come close to
trying them all. There are just too many.
I like the Serie JJ maduro and My Father, too.

I voted blue because La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial and My Father weren't options.

El Centurion is his best IMO. I love em.

I also like the La Aroma de Cuba too.
However, as Col. Kurtz pointed out some of his other "work" were not options.:mad:
Hirsh y Garcia, never had one on my wish list however!

Dan didn't make a very extensive list of Pepin smokes. Less than half of them seemed to show up on the list. :hm

I stick to the DPG blue label and Tat browns mostly. although I had a Havana Angeles this weekend that was very good too.

Then don't make a poll that doesn't include a "None of the above/Other". Or don't post a poll as an excuse to make 12932 extra posts. :hm

I actually like his blends for Tatuaje better than his own blends. The LadoOccidental (West Coast) is my favorite, followed by the J21.

Those Angeles are very tasty.

Those Angeles are very tasty.

They are. They taste somewhat like Illusione to me. I really enjoy them, but I had a majority of a box with expanding and cracking wrappers. (no, not over humified)

I went with the Tat Brown's since they're the only ones I smoked enough of.
TheRiddick
08-09-2009, 10:01 PM
Hmmm...

Actually, 601 Red, DPG Black (Cuban Classic), Cubao.

Then, Tat Red (Angeles), Tat Brown (Noellas). Don't like other sizes.

Given the above, I did not vote.

08-09-2009, 10:26 PM
Very, very tough decision. I went with the Tat Brown, but it wasn't an easy choice.
My favorite, and wasn't on the list has got to be the, El Centurion. :tu

08-09-2009, 11:01 PM
Troya Clasico was a great smoke, and the old Padilla 1932. Gone but not forgotten.
Stogieboy
08-10-2009, 03:55 PM
Of those listed, the Tat brown. My fav is My Father.
darkninja67
08-11-2009, 03:31 PM
Cuban Classic for me. I am one of the very few who are not a fan of Tats. LADC EE is also a very good smoke IMO.
WyGuy
08-11-2009, 04:03 PM
From those that are on the list my favorite would be the Blues.

My favorite which isn't listed, would have to be the #4 My Fathers just can't get enough of them!
Steelergar
08-11-2009, 10:17 PM
I voted for the blue, but I love San Cristobal and 601 blue and his Padilla Miami blend. I want to try his cigar king blends next.
Starscream
08-11-2009, 10:20 PM
The poll allowed me to vote for two sticks: the Pepin Blue and the 5 Vegas Miami

Love the robusto and lancero from this blend. I hope he makes more cigars with his own tobacco soon!

I was just thinking DPG is going to make some sick smokes when they get rid of that embargo on that island.

I don't have a link to the interview and don't know what he said verbatim, but he said his ideal cigar would be half Nicaraguan tobacco and half Cuban tobacco.

Yeah I remember reading that on a cigar fan review. I think it was Cuban wrapper, Nic binder, and cuban filler. I wonder if he makes these for personal use.

I'm with you on the tats.
