Cabaiguan Corona Extra

[mash]

Just smoked another one from my box. Man, are they ever getting good. Age is very kind to these. I smoke 90% Cuban, these are a very pleasant change of pace.

Agreed. I have found this with all of the Pepin made/blended cigars that I have had for any length of time. I'm still pulling from a box of Corona Extras that have a, IIRC, April 08 box code, and they are way better than they were a year ago. Really sweet and creamy now with just a touch of spice. But like I said, I haven't had a Pepin stick yet that wasn't way better after some rest time.

Bumpin' this old thread because I just had one (aprox. 2 years old) and I love these! They get to be really great with some time under the belt. So smooth and creamy & gives you hints, every now and again, of a Cuban cigar. They absolutely can be tricky in blind tastings. Especially the older ones that were made in Miami. Production has been in Nica for a while now.
