TB is probably my least favorite DPG... not only light, but not good flavor profile IMHO.

They appear on JoeCigar periodically, too.

I've smoked several. Excellent construction, smooth mild flavor, but I have to agree that there is nothing that really stands out about these smokes.

Low humidity. 60-65% does fine. I keep mine between 60-63%.

Saw on The Weekly Cigar website that next year Pepin is making an LE and he will be rolling all 20000 cigars for the limited release himself. Videos of the interview are up on the site (theweeklycigar.com).

Since it's resurrected, White naturals and Vegas Cubanas. :-)

I am really digging the 1977 blacks (petit lancero size)

Fledgling Pepin whore here. So far I've smoked the trifecta of white, blue, and black label; Cubao, and have a Tat Havana VI Angeles resting. I dunno if I can pick a favorite. I like 'em all! :-)

Gotta get some of those Pepin rolled LEs :-)

But ANYTHING of his is amazing. All the Tats, Blue Labels, Black Labels... Still gotta try the JJ though. Not many places that actually sell the DPG brand around me

Normal price is usually about $12 a stick.

WOW... These were the cigars to get when they came out... A 1 time production if I remember correctly...
[Reply]

Yep. I jumped all over it. That's too good of a price for a limited release.
[Reply]

Have You Smoked One?
[Reply]

Yes, but not in this size. The ones I had were really good.
[Reply]

I like them all but my favorite is the black label.

Good to see this thread!

Here is an area this Pepin Ho is unclear and I would like some insight from you all.

Cabaiguan is still my favorite Pepin creation. I crave the Coronas Extra and Belicoso Fino yet have a hard time finding them. My most frequented cigar store the past year has been the Party Source in Bellvue, Kentucky. Micah in there is quite helpful, but when I asked him about getting in the "original" Cabaiguns he said the cigars he has in stock "Guapos" are the originals.

All of the Cabaiguans at The Party Source have this band:

This band I first saw on the Nicaraguan-made Guapos and Guapos RX (maduro)

The original Cabaiguans had this band and were rolled in Miami

On the Tatuaje web site it now states "made in Nicaragua".

So my questions for all of you:
1) Have you seen any Cabaiguans with the old label?
2) Where does the box they are in say they were rolled (if not in bins)
[Reply]

Hmmm, interesting. I'm willing to bet that the originals with the old labels are still available online. I saw a box with the original band about 2 and 1/2 months back in a local B&M, but I think they had been sitting for a while. I would PM Greg (NCRadioman) and he'll probably clue you in; he knows a lot about Pepin products.
