I don't get Don Pepin Garcia

I feel you, I really liked the first DPG I had, a Blue, and thought he was a gift from God, but as I've sampled a wider variety of his cigars I've found that not all Pepins are created equal. I love the Cabaiguans and DPG Blues, and I like the San Cristobals, Tat Red and Brown in the smaller ring gauges, but I didn't really like any of the 601, Vegas Cubanas or El Rey de Los Habanos I have tried. For my money though, I think Illusione has surpassed Pepin/Johnson stuff as my favorite NC smoke. Give the cg4 a try if you want a delicious cigar that has something that has a nice flavor profile that isn't overwhelming, but is completely different from your Habanos.
