I'm a Pepin fan and I'll be the first to admit, he seems to be spreading himself thin. I'd much prefer he just stick to doing a few blends and doing them really well. These look really good though, never heard of Giralda. I might have to pick up a few.

ehhh no pun intended. I'm a fan of Pepin, don't get me wrong. I have always enjoyed his sticks but with him doing so many different sticks, it's hard to keep up. Kind of puts a sour taste in my mouth. :2

I think he just producing the Giralda for Forcade and Son. Giralda has been around a while. The difference between he and Rocky is that he is a tobacco man first and Rocky is a lawyer. With his new frakin HUGE factory in Nica, he can produce many million cigars with no problem. Not to mention him now growing tobacco and the 4-5 years worth of stock he has on hand. I don't fault him for letting his creativity go and coming out with new blends.

Greg, it seems like you write the same thing every 2 or 3 weeks. :r

BTW, I too enjoy Pepin and I'll admit to not liking some of his selection, but overall his blends are pretty darn good. From top to bottom they are very solid from the cheap stuff like Fumadores or Tobaccos Baez SF an LHO to Tatuaje or My Father. He doesn't seem to be spreading himself too thin to me and IMO his brand quality does not seem to be suffering since his production volume is relatively low ( a lot of the things he makes appear to be in low production runs). Anyways, still enjoying DPG Blues like I have for about 2 and 1/2 years and hope to continue trying some more of his cigars in the future.

I think this blend is more from his son than from DPG.

:tpd:That was what I thought as well. Also, I don't think that your box was signed by Pepin. It looks more like somebody at the shop wrote that. He doesn't speak english and this is what his signature looks like link (http://www.outlawcigar.com/sitesections/community/photos/Details.aspx?AlbumID=58&Page=116). I read a review in Cigar Snob a few months ago and they spoke very highly of these cigars. And as for spreading himself thin, to me that would imply that putting out a bunch of crap with quality being affected. I haven't seen that. As Greg said, he has the capacity and means to do it, why not do it. I can see comparing Patel and Hansotia, but Pepin is in a completely different league than them IMHO.
