Since reviews are subjective to one's taste buds, I decided to go ahead and post this review. Perhaps some will think I'm nuts, but I'm just saying what I tasted, so here goes.

Initial observations find a very nice wrapper. A subtle earthy aroma from the cigar. Pre-light draw is a bit tight, so I make a second cut with my v-cutter.

Right off the bat, I get a very nice spicy note. It reminds me of peppered beef jerky. The flavor is really coming off nicely. After about 20 minutes I start to get a black licorice flavor mixed in with the pepper. This cigar leaves a very nice pepper flavor on the lips.

The burn is flawless, with a nice white ash. Plenty of flavorful smoke comes from a still tight draw. The mix of peppered beef jerky and black licorice is till coming through very nicely. For some reason I keep having flashbacks of jagermeister ! I know, you guys now think I'm crazy.

As the second 3rd finishes up, the flavors are dropping off just a bit. There are still hints of both, but noticeably less. I'm really enjoying this one, and can't wait for the next draw.

As it winds down, the pepper pics up a bit, and the licorice is almost gone. The draw is still a bit to tight for me, but it's not slowing me down any. I really didn't want this one to end.

Great review of one of my faves. The pepperiness goes without saying, I have also gotten a little licorice as well. Not in every stick, but it has been there.

Thanks for the great review! I really like the DPG CC 1979's -- I need to get myself another box of those soon. :D

As you said, tastes are subjective. While I like this vitola, my favorite of the line is the Perla. Best flavor bomb of the lot.

Nice review! I love them all, but the Petit Lancero (1977) is my favorite.

Got to dig around the cooler to see if I still have any, it's been at least a year since I've smoked this thing. Thanks for the reminder Nick.

That's the one right there boys. Could easily argue it to be my favorite Pepin stick.
