La Aroma de Cuba is now all Pepin!

Personally, I don't like just the over 'peppery-ness' of these Nic sticks... I much prefer a dynamic, balanced stick, which I tend to think Pepin makes. Many begin very peppery and then begin to show more finesse and complexity. I don't find Pepin's smokes smash-mouth at all, like say some Dominicans like LFD etc., other not so good Nic. sticks and those that are just strong for strong's sake. For the most part, Pepin gets it right.
