La Dueña

Sounds like another overhyped PJ stick. Pete is a good guy, but I got so tired of trying to find his limited release sticks, then not enjoying them once I did find them, they were not enjoyable, that it made me really not enjoy his smokes...

I wouldn't say this one is over-hyped or hyped at all to be honest. The line was actually created for Janny as an extension of the My Father brand but Pete was the one who blended it so it's not like it's a part of Tatuaje limited machine that so many people love to hate on Pete for creating or part of Tatuaje at all. The average person looking at it on the shelves really would have no clue that Pete had anything to do with it at all not to mention the fact that most shops would probably display it with the My Father selection if not on it's own.
I guess if me sharing my thoughts about it being a very solid and flavorful medium bodied smoke makes it sound like another over-hyped Pete stick than I guess you could be right as Pete rarely swings and misses when it comes to blending some very enjoyable smokes.

I enjoy Petes sticks but I also agree that they are way overhyped not that they arn't not worth it I just can't find them in my area and if I do the price never seems to match the product.

I do like the La Duena a lot, its one of the better medium bodied NCs I have tried this year. I highly recommend trying at least one, and preferably in the smaller RGs.

But I agree, the whole PJ/DP thing is getting a little crazy. And I'm not sure exactly where PJ fits in blending a cigar for DPs daughter when DP could probably find the leaves and blend them independently. Is there some super secret blending mojo that only PJ has but someone else in the DP tobacco fields or blending operations would not possess?

Maybe I should switch to Viajes?
