new pepin brand?

I think padron is the only brand on that list that can make quality affordable smokes like pepin. I ve tried LFD and thought they were garbage. Pepin does what camacho wishes they could do. Perdermo, CAO, and Oliva dont even compare.

This is simply your opinion. For instance I think that the Oliva V is a better smoke than anything that Pepin makes, you might disagree with that.

The point I was trying to make was that if Pepin was so far ahead of other cigar makers then his cigars would be all that people smoked. This is clearly not the case. The point is that many botls would rather smoke cigars made by the companies I listed, and others. To me, that puts them on the same level with Pepin.

That's definitely one opinion. To me, there isn't an LFD blend I haven't smoked and enjoyed yet. There have been bad sticks, but not bad blends. LFD probably makes up almost 1 in 10 of what I smoke.


Pepin has done quite a few affordable blends. Tobacco Baez is his new line, which is a medium filler that's affordably priced around $3-5 depending on your local taxes ($3.40 here for the toro with cigar tax at 20% of the invoice and after SCHIP).

Check out his Wiki page for information about what cigars he makes as client brands here:
