Default Re: Yet another Pepin brand.

Here is some additional info. regarding this brand - Capana d'Oro.

The Standard line is, in fact, a long-filler hand-made with a rosado wrapper. These are very reasonably priced and are offered in boxes of 25. These may be more similar to the Ambos Mundos line instead of the Tabacos Baez SF or Bench Made.

The Vintage line (which are the ones that interest me) have much more selective tobaccos in the blend. They are aged longer and are sold in cabinets of 50. These are much more expensive as well, running from $8.50 (robusto) to $11.00+ (salomone). While BR does not offer a sampler, in speaking with them, you can construct your own.

Apparently, Pepin has made these cigars for BR the past 2-3 years, so they aren't exactly new. I think it's interesting that there was a Pepin blend, regardless of whether it was a "house brand", flying under the radar for this long. Makes you wonder if there are some others out there, still relatively unknown.
