The difference is that the lines above are advertised as made by them. There is a reason for CI catalogs no longer advertising Pepin's association with 5 Vegas Miami (this after a couple of months not even having the line in the catalog at all save for a couple of mixed samplers, the line has "re-appeared" now with no mention of Pepin's involvement).

:confused:

From CI's website:

"5 Vegas Miami is a gem of a cigar. Carefully crafted by the talented hands of Jose ’Don Pepin’ Garcia, maker of the industry’s most sought after cigars, this rare blend takes the 5 Vegas brand – already a fan favorite – to a whole new level of cigar superiority..."

I don't know who makes the cigars, but they're definitely still advertised using Pepin's name.

Those are really great for the price. Construction lacks in a lot of them, but the flavor is awesome! One of my go-to yard gars now.

Capanna d'Oro - House Blend for Barclay Rex
Mi Barrio - a 601 brand but is different from the Cubao/601/Murcielago
My Father
My Father Le Bijou 1922
Famous 70 Garcia Family
Maroma Fuerte - "sandwich style" blend for Famous
Siboney Reserve - House Blend for Famous
Signature Garcia - House Blend for Famous
Los Imperialistas - Regional brand for the SE USA (not sure if this is still being made)

From Cigarmonster.com, regarding Tabacos Baez

Quote:

Famous bought this entire brand of delicious treats from Pepin many months ago and has made the brand their own.
Did I miss something? Does anyone know when this happened? I still see TB's at other shops.

I love it when this thread pops back up.

Just had a San Cristobal Lancero last week on the lake. It had a lite dusting of Plume on it. It was one of the BEST smokes I have ever had. And I have had my share of San Cristos too. I cant wait to try the S.C. Del Sol

Last night I had one of the new Tatuaje 7th naturals and today I had the 7th reserva. Both were very good, but I actually think I liked the natural more.

Just had my first My Father Le Bijou 1922 this afternoon. Needless to say I was impressed. Probably my favorite Pepin so far...... Kinda excited about those new limited edicions......... Too bad the sticker shock is keeping me from pulling the trigger.

Ahbroody 09-11-2010 04:33 PM

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!
 
Jaimes stuff is really good also. If you like the Le Bijou I would recommend trying out some of his new stuff. A lot of flavor at a very fair price.

What a great smoke! I have had only one also but man I would love to get a Box.
It would take a while to get up the nerve (and the funds) to pull the trigger on a box.

The original My Father and the fairly priced, Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial come to mind.


I recently had an Art Deco. Part of the Nestor Miranda Collection. It's a cigar with 40% Dominican, yes, Dominican filler. Pretty darn good! Be on the lookout. They come in tins of 21 with the art deco look.

Don't know how I forgot this one. I am a fan of both wrappers for this blend particularly the corona. -(P

I've said it for years, I think it's Pepin's best blend. My only problem is the price or I would buy more. They used to be priced more reasonably.

Re: Pepin Whores Re-Unite!!!
 
My name is Doug, and I am a Pepin-aholic.

Let me tell you, I love almost everything he makes. I took the plunge this week and snagged a box + a few singles of the new My Father Limited Edition. Chances are this will be the last production cigar Pepin will ever roll entirely by himself, I couldn't help but get in on this. Pelo de Oro + My Father + Pepin / Jaime Rolling = Epic cigar.

Steve,

My local shop is running 40% off Cubao because they have a hard time selling them. Would you like for me to see what they have left? They said they'd ship anywhere in the lower 48!

Do they carry DPG in your local B@M. I am in charleston and I gotta say they have a pretty weak selection of DPG's. They might have some of his Ashton or TAT products but maybee just 1 vitola.

What's the shop name? I'd love to find some No. 3's at a good price.

I think now a few of us sprung curiosity on this.. Pepin sticks "mmmmm"
I see the cubao is put in a 601 sampler, didn't it release before, seperately or was it made to be connected with the 601 series?
