Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Question: If given a choice which cigar would you prefer to smoke a Padilla or one made by Don Pepin Garcia? I would have a tough choice since I love both so much. And if you can tell me why you prefer one over the other. Thanks for your post.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Padillas are not bad smokes by any means, in fact I was just getting ready to smoke a Miami tonight, but I have to say that there are a wider variety of sticks that Pepin puts out that I really enjoy, versus only a few Padillas that I like. The DPG blue label is one of my favorite NCs. If you like these full flavored Nicaraguan cigars, check out Illusione and Tatuaje(made by Pepin).

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Between the two I would pick DPG. I still got some of the older Padilla Miami 8/11's made by DPG which are great sticks and some of his best imho.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

As much as I;m not a fan of DPG, I like his sticks a lot better than Padilla.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

DPG all the way :ss

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I would choose Pepin because all of his cigars are at least "good," whereas I've had mixed results with Padilla: The 1932 lancero is great...the Dominus is blah, imo. What's your choice, brigey57?

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

As much as I love the Miami and the 1932, Pepin just has so many great cigars...gotta be the Don.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I've only had the '68, '48, and the Miami, but I didn't care for any of the new blends I've had so far.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Tatuaje....end of my argument...Don Pepin wins...

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Padilla's are good, but... My vote goes to Pepin.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

DPG hands down.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

lol kinda one sided..
Love DPGs cigars, CC 1979 is probably my favorite so far.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

If I had to go to my humidor and pick out one cigar from either to smoke it would be the Padilla Miami Robusto, I just love the flavors I get from it and its Corojo wrapper!

But overall there is no doubt that Pepin makes more better cigars then Padilla, but then again who makes (blends) more cigars then Pepin?

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Since I've Become A "Tat Whore", Pepin By A Long Shot!:tu I Still Enjoy A Good Padilla, Occasionally, Though.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

My feelings exactly. :D:D

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Don Pepin Garcia. I love almost all of his cigars. Padilla I only like the Miami and 1932

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

My all time favorite Pepin stick was the old Padilla 1932 but there just not the same anymore:mad: So my vote goes DPG

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

This was a great cigar. The new blend is good, but it is just not the same.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I would need to expand the number of Padillas I have smoked to really make an educated decision, but right now it is DPG if you gave me the choice.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I would have to go with DPG although i like the Miami Most The JJ White and the Maddie are two of My Favorites

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

DPG for certain!!

:tpd:

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Haven't had enough Padillas to really make a firm decision. But from what I have had, I'd go with Jose Garcia

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I prefer a Padilla made by DPG. The 1932's were some of the best cigars I have had.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I like Padilla ok, but, I will always go for a DPG over a Padi.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

DPG of course. Padilla's are tasty though.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Padilla for me. I've really been turned off by most of the DPG's I've had. Sorry guys

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Don Pepin Garcia all the way. I have had many good Padilla cigars but can't hold a candle to DPG. IMHO. :ss

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I like both but I lean towards DPG.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

There are several Padillas that I like, but several DPGs that I love!!

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Without a doubt, Pepin. I really want to like the Padillas but for some reason the few of his new blends I've smoked just don't do it for me. The Obsidians are good after 6 months rest, at least the first half is. The last half gets pitched.
:2

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

DPG but I love the Padilla 1932s

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I have never smoked any Pepin and immediately lit another right after the first . Have done this with the Padilla Habanos Toro several times now . One of my new favorite NC's now .

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

Amoung these 2 it'd be DPG but if it were AJ Fernandez and DPG it would be a tough call for me.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

As I said I would tell you all my preference but after I herd from the BOTL. Well my vote is in and it is DPG but I still love my Padillas now and again.

Thanks for your vote and advice! :tu:2

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I have only smoked 2 Padillas. 1 was a Padilla Miami old blend by DPG, and the other was a '68. The Miami was very good, the '68 was blah. I've smoked several DPG's and I enjoyed most of them. I voted DPG although I am no DPG fanboy.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

DPG :tu

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

DPG All The Way!:banger

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I bought a Padilla sampler from a buddy, one of each vitola they blend, and only enjoyed the Miami. The rest, IMHO, were rockets. I love pretty much everything Pepin blends.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

I'd go all Padilla except for the Pepin La Aroma.

Re: Preference a Padilla or Don Pepin Garcia cigar?
 

:tpd:

The Signature 1932 is one of my favorite 'gars, but overall, I only really like about 2/3 of the Padilla line--the rest are just okay. I can't think of any Padilla cigars that I don't like at all. However, I like just about every DPG stick I've ever had, some more than others.
