Good question, Matt. I am not 100% sure but I think the original's are still rolled in Miami and the Guapos come out of Nica. The Guapos are definitely not the original.

My shop just got in a few boxes of original Coronas Extras and they are stamped Sept. 09 and were rolled in the ERdLH factory and do have that original band.

I went to Jungle Jim's yesterday and they had 3 boxes stamped APR 09 and Miami.. So along with the information you provided it seems

1.) Pete doesn't send TPS/Micah Cabaiguan originals or Micah only wants to carry the Guapos
2.) Some time this year production of the originals moved from Miami to Nicaragua.

Very intereting - thanks for the input!

Last night I had one of the new San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol cigars.

What struck me at first when I saw them; the cigars were a bit less expensive than the originals. How often does selecting a "a very special sun-grown wrapper grown on the Garcia family's "Estrella" farm in Esteli, Nicaragua." and a second band reduce the cost of a cigar? I hesitated to grab one, but like any self-respecting Pepin Ho I must smoke them all.

The flavor had a bit less pepper and a bit less acidity than the originals but was remarkably similar. It burnt flawlessly, which sometimes isn't the case with special wrappers.

I smoked 3 cigars last night and the San Cristobal was the least expensive. I still can't decide if this or the MJ12 was my favorite however they both stomped the flying pig.

Any news on the La Reloba brand that atlantic said they had coming soon?

OHMatt · 12-29-2009, 09:07 AM

Looks like this is another Pepin private label that flies under the radar.

$200 a bundle though isn't appealing to me, but those of you in NYC might want to try a single.

I have smoked many of these and they are a great cigar - especially for a houseblend. Also great price - for a midtown Manhattan shop where you can sit and have an excellent cigar for relatively low $.

had a Mucielago (by DPG for 601 brands)... nice looking natural box press, construction issues and a pretty one dimensional strong maduro... nothing to write home about.

kenstogie · 02-01-2010, 07:40 AM

Had the 601 Green Oscuro the other day and WHAM, bought a box on CBid for 80 buck.

I enjoy the 1979 black,
601 blue,
Cubao

I bought a box of My Father Le Bijou 1922 Churchills in December and have yet to try one. I've smoked various sizes of the My Fathers and really enjoyed them. I'm really looking forward to smoking one of the Bijous though.

The Le Bijou's are almost a completely different cigar imo. I haven't been much of a fan of the regular line of My Father's, but the Le Bijou is a winner.

I didnt dislike the original my fathers, but will definetly agree that the le bijou is a very different animal and definetly a better stick to me.

Had a Tabaco Baez Serie SF robusto the other day, I guess these are fairly new. In Cali they are about 3.25 a stick. Probablly the best 3.00 non cuban I have had. Nubbed it which suprised the hell out of me. It definetly out preformed my expectations of a short filler stick.

Although he doesn't make my favorite cigar, DPG definitely doesn't disappoint!

Every DPG I have ever smoked has been excellent and I've smoked a lot of them!

From Tats to Red Labels to 601s, JJ Series to San Cristobals to My Fathers everything I've tried has been top-notch...

DPG is da man!!!

I definately agree with Wayne and Mike, the Le Bijou 1922 is a completely different animal compared to the My Father line.

marge796 · 02-01-2010, 11:12 AM

That's great news about the Le Bijou line! I'm even more excited about lighting one up, I am going to give them a little more Humi time before doing that though. Jose " Don Pepin " Garcia & his son Jaime are true to their craft and make our hobby even more enjoyable!

I am by no means a Pepin Whore however I did smoke a JJ the other day and was very very impressed.
