Pepin Cuban Blend
 

I've gone through enough of these and never liked the smoke, but I got one from Larry in a trade and I have to say that I'm looking forward to working at the lounge Friday night so I can give a couple more a try, it was a very nice cigar.

Thanks Larry! :banger

They are the only DPGs I buy.

What size was it?

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

Today's was the robusto.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

one of the best Pepin blends IMO

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

I like most of Pepin's stuff, blue band being far and away my favorite, but the Cuban Blend I had today was very nice, completely different than the blue.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

The black banded Cuban Classic? If so, with a li'l age a cigar I really like. Especially the 1979's.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

Good to know. I have a few of these sitting the humi. I have tried the robusto and the corona and wasn't a huge fan of them. I'll have to give them a shot this summer when they've had a little over a year on them.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

Only one I have had was the 1979, and I liked it. So much it might be a normally stocked item in my humi.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

It was sitting for a while. Maybe the ones you have not liked were to fresh!!!

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

So far, I've enjoyed every DPG that I have tried...great smokes.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

That's possible as I've no idea the age on the others. Thank you very much for the great cigar, although again it burned poorly because I was in my truck, I did very much enjoy it. Like I said, looking forward to trying a couple tomorrow while at work.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

I have had a few of these and have put some serious thought into buying these by the box.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

I miss the OR Blues. They used to be my go to smoke.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

I have two partial boxes left of the OR blues, and one sealed box of OR blue lanceros, fantastic cigars.

I will say that I was disappointed to find out tonight that my shop doesn't have the Cuban Classics. Guess I never ordered them as I didn't care for them, I may have to revisit this!

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

You have Puff and Stuff lanceros?? And what was the date of the OR Blue?

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

You can find out today after work. :sl

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

Cuban Classic with 6 months or more on them are fan-freakin-tastic smokes.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

I love the JJ Series and the Blues, the blacks, not so much. I'm not a Tat fan, and the black reminds me very much of Pete's stuff. So much so that i'll always try to include one in a Tat bomb cause I know a guy will like them if he's enjoyed Tatuaje. I think they're a very close, very reasonably priced alternative.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

I have two boxes of the Puff & Stuff lances, one is 73/100 and the other 125/150, that's the sealed one. Actually a few years ago in Orland Park IL., Pepin himself took one of my blue lanceros, removed the wrapper and re-wrapped it with a Connecticut wrapper, then had Janny translate to me that it's the only one he's ever done and will not do another, so it's a one of a kind. Kinda cool, still haven't smoked it, probably should do that one of these days.

The OR's are '06 I believe.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

Cool story and unique smoke!! Not to mention the awesomeness of having 2 boxes of Puff and Stuff lanceros.

McSmokey, posted a pic here of APR 2005 For DPG Blue Generosos. I truly was wondering what the date of the OR Blue was, because I thought it was early 05, but I may have been wrong.

Re: Pepin Cuban Blend
 

I'm not at home right now so I'm guessing on the date.
