I get the feeling the Siboney brand is kind of like a the Famous version of CI Legends where different makers do different blends. A couple of months ago there was a Siboney with a gold and red band that was made by Alec Bradley. Stay away from that one if you see it. The flavors were good but the construction was absolutely awful.

Are you sure these are Pepin's? I have never seen Pepin use Honduran tobacco. The filler and binder are usually Nicaraguan then he uses different wrappers.

This is tricky! There is the Siboney made by Alec Bradley and the Siboney Reserve made by DPG. The bands are different...
