Over the weekend had a JJ and a Petit Tat. I think I'm going to buy a box of the Petits to keep on hand. I really liked that for a quick smoke and with newborns my time has been very limited lately.

I wasn't a fan. If your looking for a yardgar from Holts, I'd try Boardwalk (non-pepin) or Benchmade. They are both a lot cheaper and taste much better IMHO.

I enjoyed the Fundadores from Pepin as a GREAT yardgar.

Anyone had the Old Henry's though?

(love the John Candy line... what does that mean anyway? He always had these great lines that made little sense, but were hilarious)

Thanks! Just did some figuring on the Old Henry, $4+ per stick???? That's a blue, or a 601 from cbid, and I'm sure they're much better. Now I'm going through a Benchmade thing, but looking for the next DPG obsession. For me, Benchmade is a pretty good smoke for the money... Now, about these Fumadors :)

I find the Old Henrys creamy with some leather,cocoa and spice. Not as spicy as many Pepins ( and I love the spice ) but something about these I really like. Find them very smooth but full of flavor begining to end. I guess they would be somewhat like a San Cristobal.:2

I smoke many Tat Reds. I was kinda of suprised how much I like the Cabaiguan line. Can anyone give me some feedback on what size is there favorite? Have you also noticed that alot of them are plugged or is it just me? If I were to buy like 5 boxes of Cabaiguan Robusto Extras what would you put your humidity inside your vino at?

TB is probably my least favorite DPG... not only light, but not good flavor profile IMHO.

They appear on JoeCigar periodically, too.

I've smoked several. Excellent construction, smooth mild flavor, but I have to agree that there is nothing that really stands out about these smokes.

Low humidity. 60-65% does fine. I keep mine between 60-63%.

Fledgling Pepin whore here. So far I've smoked the trifecta of white, blue, and black label; Cubao, and have a Tat Havana VI Angeles resting. I dunno if I can pick a favorite. I like 'em all! :ss

Good to see this thread!

Here is an area this Pepin Ho is unclear and I would like some insight from you all.

Cabaiguan is still my favorite Pepin creation. I crave the Coronas Extra and Belicoso Fino yet have a hard time finding them. My most frequented cigar store the past year has been the Party Source in Bellvue, Kentucky. Micah in there is quite helpful, but when I asked him about getting in the "original" Cabaiguns he said the cigars he has in stock "Guapos" are the originals.

All of the Cabaiguans at The Party Source have this band:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...guan_Guapo.jpg
This band I first saw on the Nicaraguan-made Guapos and Guapos RX (maduro)

The original Cabaiguans had this band and were rolled in Miami
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../Cabaiguan.jpg

On the Tatuaje web site it now states "made in Nicaragua".

So my questions for all of you:
1) Have you seen any Cabaiguans with the old label?
2) Where does the box they are in say they were rolled (if not in bins)

Hmmm, interesting. I'm willing to bet that the originals with the old labels are still available online. I saw a box with the original band about 2 and 1/2 months back in a local B&M, but I think they had been sitting for a while. I would PM Greg (NCRadioman) and he'll probably clue you in; he knows a lot about Pepin products.
