Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

So I noticed these at $60 for 20 assorted sizes and took the plunge.
A Nicaraguan puro,I've had two so far.
Appearance is good,nice and dark.
Construction on the two has been good.A torpedo I had smoked exceptionally well.
Aroma is very good and plentiful smoke is produced with little effort.(remember,the aroma is the taste)

All and all for the money,I would buy these again.

A damn good smoke :ss

Thanks for being the Guinea Pig, bud.
So, you are saying "They don't Suck"?
Are there discernible differences in the assorted vitolas as far as flavor/profile change?

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

They do not suck at all Pete :)

Having smoked only two,I can't really answer your question about the different vitolas yet.

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

Thanks for the review! I've been curious about these. I wonder how they compare to the LHO's...

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

Thanks for the review, Dave. I feel like I've been waiting years for an inmate to review these.

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

Like I said,I've only had two.With that said,I like these better so far.
You're going to pay a little more than for LHO's but imo they are worth it.

This is all supposing they don't magically turn into dog rockets :D

Thanks for the review...sounds interesting. I generally love Nic puros...gonna have to check them out.

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

After smoking quite a few of my 20 pack sampler,I find myself liking these more and more.

Good damn smoke.

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

Thanks for the review! I am going to have to check these out this weekend.

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

I was in Philly on Saturday and took the opportunity to grab another 20 cigar sampler at Holts :) Nice shop btw...

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

Great Review, Dave! Sounds Like My Kind Of Smoke!:tu

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia

I love me some Nic puros. Sounds like she's worth a try for 3 bucks a stick.

You are welcome Scott.

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

I may have to take a few of these out of your humi when you ain't looking...

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

No need to sneak them.I'll share :)

Re: Holts Connisseur By Don Pepin Garcia
 

Thanks for the review, I may have to give this a shot! Holt's has another little known DPG house blend (Casa Royale) that is in my top 20.



Shhhh.... let's keep that one a secret!

Do they have the three hallmarks of Pepin?

Taste, Draw, and Construction?
