Humidor diving and I knew I had this Cigar buried in the back and it’s a good six or seven years old so time to light up this Don Pepin Blue Torpedo. I’m not sure why but I suspect it’s amonia coming off the cigar as it ages but the DPG Blue that were older always had the label coloring fade. I took a second picture to record the phenomenon.
Pulling off the cellophane was more like peeling a banana to get it out and the aroma was the same old barnyard manure so not much has changed in this cigar. I sneezed four times so Pepper is there.
Burns great.
Tastes only a bit tempered and I get a tangy coffee like dark espresso with a long finish of burnt cedar. This cigar hasn’t mellowed much in all this time and that doesn’t surprise me as that’s pretty much been my experience with the DPG cigars.
I’ve smoked boxes of these bad boys but due to so many great cigars, this one has been forgotten. It’s nice to pull it out and remember the cigar that put Don Pepin on the map.
