Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic

[elderboy02]

Date: 10/4/08

Cigar: Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1979 Robusto (5 x 50)

Cost: $74.56 for a box of 20 off of Cigar International's "Make Me An Offer"

Drink: Coca-Cola Classic (the best cola out there)

Appearance: 2 banded cigar that says "Don Pepin Garcia" with a dark background on the top band and a second band that says "Cuban Classic" with a black background. This has a dark brown wrapper on the cigar.

Pre-light: Smells like wood.

Taste of the cigar: This cigar has a peppery and leather taste to it. The pepper is very strong at the beginning and it gets weaker as the cigar is smoked.

Construction: Held a nice ash. I ash my cigar after about 1.5 inches on every cigar I smoke. The draw was perfect, not too loose, and not too tight. The cigar required a few touchups.

Strength: This was full flavored, but didn't knock me on my butt, and I smoked this in the morning.

Summary: I loved this cigar. I am glad I bought a box. I think these will be a mainstay in my humidor. I would definitely recommend this cigar to others. I give it a 9.5/10

DP Blacks are one of the few NC cigars that I repeatedly buy boxes of. I love 'em.

Nice review, I recently picked up a box of the 1950's, and found your review to be spot on. Good stuff!!

Very good cigar. I try and keep a box around but usually just go right through them.

I like these too, just too strong for me most of the time.

Shared some with my friends while throwing a bachelor party for my best friend on Bourbon Street Friday night. Great smoke, one of my all time favs.

Wait til these get some humi time on them. Had one a few weeks ago that had bout 9 months on it and it was so much better than a "fresh" one. I can't imagine what a couple years would do to these.

I agree a great smoke! I bought a box of Toro's when Black Cat Cigars had the falling out with Pepin and dropped the price. They still have the deal going. Time to order another box...:devil:
