Heads Up on a cheap Pepin.

[Ocat]

Holts has the Little Habana Overruns. I don't know if any of you got the original release of these about 7 months ago but they were very good. Holts says this one is a little stronger. They only come in one size. Torps in bundles of 20. Here is the link. If they are anything like the first release it will be a very good deal.

Thanks for the heads up.

Anyone want to split a bundle of these?

 

[jkorp]

I'll split with you, lmk.

These cigars are made and blended by Pepin in Miami. I should have mine on Thursday. I lyk what I think when I smoke one.

 

[jkorp]

I hope these are Pepin's. The original LHO's were rumored to be Pepin and pretty much everyone agreed they were but these could be from another Miami factory. The description does say it's a different blend, this could mean different tobacco or different blender. I guess we'll know soon enough... either way this is an incredible deal on US rolled Miami sticks.

Most things including the Fumadores Holt's sell mention Pepin as the person responsible for them. It should make sense they would do the same for these too no?

Yes, but they made a point in the original listing of LHO, that it was a Miami factory that they couldn't reveal but you could kinda guess who, wink, wink. This time they didn't do that but made a point to say it was a different blend. I'm sure it is Pepin, I'm just thowing out the possiblity that Holts could be capitilzing on the success of the original LHO. Like I said probably Pepin, we'll know for sure in a couple of days.

For the price looks yummy for sure. I didn't pick up on the wink-wink this time, glad you are sure there Pepin. Let me know bro before I pick these up. They might be capitalizing with the smart shoppers like we have a BOTL willing to take a chance on them.

It does say that they're "from the #1 cigar maker in Miami". That's gotta be Pepin, right? Anyway, for the price, it's not a bad gamble.

Ah, I didn't notice that. I'm sure they're from Pepin.

jkorp quote. "I'm just thowing out the possiblity that Holts could be capitilzing..."

 

[Ocat]

When I ordered mine. The operator made a point of telling me they were made by Pepin. Which I already knew based on some info I got from a BOTL that's kind of in their loop.

Excellent! That settles it for me then.

 

[smokingun]

Picked one up, Hopefully we scored.

Thanks for the tip Ocat.

I bought 4 bundles of the LHO-2 torpedos, am smoking my first one right now, off the truck. IT IS GREAT !! I think much stronger than the first LHO released (which I got 4 bundles of), very flavorful all the way (2 inches left now), definitely a Pepin, I would say it tastes similar to Padilla Miami 8&11 in flavor profile. Off the truck so it's a bit moist and has more kick, some time in the humi should mellow this out a little bit. At $2.25 a stick, these are unbeleilvable deal for a Pepin cigar. Highly recommended smoke in my opinion. Herfer's paradise states there are only 175 more bundles left as of 3:41pm 3/18/08, so better act quick if you want a bundle. I think I prefer these LHO-2 to LHO-1 corona gordas that I got before. LHO-1 ages very well too, it's been 6 months in the humi and the flavors have mellowed a little to bring out much more subtle flavors than right off the truck.

I honestly haven't room in the humis for a 20, but if someone's wanting to split a bundle, I'd be down to give them a try.

 

[seabass]

Blue labels are made in Miami. Are these overruns the imperiales or are they another one of Pepins brands?

 

[mnelson]

coolhand i would be down for a split with you, let me know.

if you want i can wait till they come and ship them out with those 5ers to save some money.

 

[Ocat]

Can't wait, some of my bundles arrive tomorrow. All the reviews I have seen are positive so far. Yummmmmmmies Baby!
