An excellent smoke when you let it sit for a couple years, downright yummy!
Not a fan at all of the Cuban Classic however.

My thoughts...
Don Pepin Brands:
- Black Label - Cuban Classic (my favorite Pepin-brand cigar)
- Blue Label (very good, especially in the smaller ring gauges)
- White Label - Series JJ (very potent, one of the best Pepins)
- White Label - Series JJ Maduro (excellent, rich and strong)
- Vegas Cubanas (affordable, one of my faves)
- El Rey de los Habanos (affordable, one of the mildest Pepins)
- El Centurion (limited release, might be hard to find now)
- Tabaccos Baez (I haven't had one yet)
Don Pepin Client Brands:
- Tatuaje Brown Label (my favorite Pepin-made cigars)
- Tatuaje Havana IV Red Label (milder than browns, but totally fantastic)
- Tatuaje Series P White Label (cheap "sandwich" but awesome flavor)
- Cabaiguan by Tatuaje (nice, but mild. Not my favorite wrapper leaf)
- La Riqueza by Tatuaje (awesome new maduro, loving these)
- Ashton San Cristóbal (my second favorite Pepin-made cigar)
- Ashton Benchmade (excellent value stick)
- EO 601 line (4 versions)
- EO Cubao (relatively new stick, I'm loving them right now)
- CI Legends Yellow (didn't do anything for me)
- CI 5 Vegas Miami (quite decent, no similarities to other 5 Vegas lines)
- Holt's Old Henry (surprisingly rich tasting, good value)
- Holt's DPJ Fumadores (holy smokes these are cheap!)
- Holt's Connoisseur Selection (I know nothing about them)
- Holt's Casa Royale (I know nothing about them)
There are some other Client-brands out there, especially a lot of one-time releases. To be honest, 90% of what Pepin makes I thoroughly enjoy, but a lot of that is because I'm really into Nicaraguan tobaco.

i think the El Rey de los Habanos line is highly underrated. i love those things. The Casa Royales are fantastic. OBviously anything with the Tatuaje label on it is going to be phrnomenal!
The El Centurions are one of my faves. Serie JJ is excellent, as is the vagas cubanas.
Really enjoyed the padilla 1932 lanceros as well.
But back to thte blues, the new Preferidos are very VERY tasty. I love those things
