In addition to these, The Don has also made an Event Cigar for Outlaw Cigars.

AG, I could be wrong, and if I was it wouldn't be the first time, but I had been led to believe that he made the "firecrackers" for Two Guys Smokes.

Just wondering.

Great job on the whole project by the way! :thumbsup:

Wasn't Tropical Pepin's first employer when he defected? I've read about some maduro's made by Tropical around 2000. It was a maduro, and the band had a small note with JPG. From what I have read, it was Pepin's first cigar after he left Cuba. Harder than hell to find one of those, but somebody has to have some. I think the guys at Outlaw provided that info on another forum.

As a Pepin whore, I have to reminisces about my first Pepin. Back in 2006 or 2007, I purchased a box of the DPG Cuban Classic figs at Outlaw. It was like crack or herion...I was done.

As I write this I'm smoking a DPG Blue Label Churchill...last one I have (Went through 17 boxes). Thank god I pissed away $300 worth of Pepin's on Cbid this evening.

Bill great guide. this is great for a newbie like myself. I am particularly fond of the Cuban Classic. thanks for the hard work.

 

[Angry Bill]

Updated with La Giralda, Thanks Larry for catching this. I actually smoked one and it was an enjoyable cigar.

Great guide Bill, I had a list on another forum, I really love what you have done with the pictures on this one.

I found this one, De La Concha Grand Reserve Criollo just recently, thought you might want to add it to your guide. Looks like this is another Pepin private label that flies under the radar.

Here's a Review that details the cigar:cigarsmoking.us/?p=1561

Here is the Store: delaconcha.com

This might be my first post on BOTL, had to work to post those addresses; please pardon the sloppy URLs

Also the ad copy text on the latest batch of Nicaraguan Overruns hints they could be from Pepin but haven't heard anything to confirm:
"This new batch of Nicaraguan Overruns is our finest score to date. These cigars are legitimate, ultra-premium overruns from one of the top producers in Nicaragua." Holt's definitely has a strong relationship with Pepin, think they are getting the overruns from his 2 Nica factories now? Price is much higher than previous Nicaraguan Overruns. I will read/listen for rumors.

Don Pepin Garcia Blue

Is there another Don Pepin with a Blue Label or an older version of this label for the same cigar? I've got two different ones in my humi one like the picture above and another without the red circle and a deeper blue label. Is this the same cigar?

There was an older label which was almost identical to the Black Label with blue instead of black.

That was the older band, here is a pic of the newer blue label band

 

[Ed Monton]

That's the one I was wondering about. So it is the same cigar. Thanks,

Don't forget about the blends made for Famous Cigar Shop.

Specifically,
Famous Signature Series By Garcia
Maroma Fuerte
Siboney Reserve
Famous 70 Garcia Family.

There is also a new Tabacos Baez called the Series h. Has a Habano wrapper rather than CT.

Anyone heard of the Don Pepin Garcia Edicion Limitada Exclusivo? I can't find anything on this.

Anyone heard of the Don Pepin Garcia Edicion Limitada Exclusivo? I can't find anything on this.

Is that the new one that comes in coffins? I'm not sure on the name (they may have changed it to the "My Father Limitada" or something). It contains the Pelo de Oro leaf, I and will cost like $20/stick. I'd love to get a few, but that's really pricey.

Not sure what you are all looking for, but Nate is correct.
