Don Jose "Pepin" Garcia

[TheTraveler]

Thanks for an informative thread ... to the OP and the participants. I've read mostly good things about DPG blends on this forum and my interest is piqued. And ...

I haven't tried a single cigar from that list !!! So I'm a total blank slate when it comes to DPG and will truly enjoy my trip through that list.

You've given me a goal: I will try every cigar on that list at least twice (providing of course they're all still in production). DPG cigars are what I'll buy from here forward (with maybe one or two side trips to old favorite cigars) until I've tried them all. Maybe I'll do that with other lines too if this turns out well.

Thanks!

Edit: And DON'T throw those Obsidians out into the rain! I'll give them a good home.

I hope you have a fat wallet. Obtaining even one of each of those will be costly.

I have a fat a$$ - does that count?

J/K Yeah, I've learned that, although there are diamonds in the rough and good cigars for the $ out there, you'll have to pay a bit more for the top-of-the-line stuff.

Yeah, the Overruns will cost you a whole 2 dollars. The Benchmade's/White Tats/Ambos Mundos are all at $5 or under. You might just go broke.

Not to mention www.blackcatcigars.com where you can get some great, great, great prices on DPG Blue and Black.

Don't look at me.
I've taken too many challenges in the last two months.

Have fun thats what I have been doing for the past year and a half and I still have 15 brands to go. Don't forget about c-bid, they always have Pepin's for cheap.
I didn't know Casa Royale used the same wrapper as Tat black. Casa Royale is probably one of my least favorite Pepin blends. I also didn't see JJ maduro on there.
thanks for the taking the time and effort to put this up.
I was curious as to what you pepin fans think of Casa Torano Signature series?I tried these recently and loved it

I had one not too long ago and enjoyed it. I'm not a big fan of Torano but this and the 50th year are both Toranos that I did enjoy.
