I love this cigar size, try the Guapo corona extra for a little more kick.

I have wondered what the difference was.

It has a Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper wich adds a little more spice and flavor. As far as I know the filler and binder are the same. I just saw that one of the sizes made Cigar Aficionado's top 25 list.

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.
