Oh my my, oh Mi Barrio

[njstone]

I know very little about this stick, but am smoking my first now (toro). All you need to know is this--you've got to try this thing! Buy one, rent one, con somebody out of one, steal one from a baby, whatever. If you're a fan of strong spicy cigars, this is one of Pepin's finest!

I know this is from the United Tobacco gang, and it may be their very best (and I love the Cubao and 601s). The best description I can give is that it's like the 601 "Verocu.". Strong, VERY spicy, especially in the first third. A nice touch of sweetness, leathery twang, very rich. Either I'm just in a good mood from vacation or this thing is frackin great, lol.

 

[Simoun]

Sounds great. I'll be on the lookout for one.

 

[daniyal]

For some reason I kept thinking these were the "My Father" cigars..

 

[elderboy02]

I really enjoy this cigar. The only thing preventing me from buying more of them is the high price tag.

But do you like it nj? :dunno:
Be honest, tell us how youreally feel.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

I haven't tryed one yet but after reading your post the cigar profile is definately right up my alley!

 

[njstone]

I'm still thinking about this stick and wishing I had another with me on this trip, lol. I might settle for a San Cristobal tonight

 

[Slow Burn]

i found a box of these at my local.... he knew very little about them and wouldn't sell a single. he wants $200 for the box, and i think that's too much...

Seems to be the going price if not on sale.........

 

[njstone]

Yea, they are pricey, but actually worth it in my opinion. Definately do a couple singles, though, rather than a box. I liked the toro more than the double corona, for example.

I've seen sampler's on sale here and there, though, and I've won them on cigarbid before for as low as $7/stick for a single--not sure how lucky that was, though, or how often they come up. I just saw a nice Pepin I'd never had and bid on it, lol (yea, that's why I don't do cigarbid anymore, dangerous place!).

 

[sofc]

I've had two. One was the best cigars I have had and I've had many, the second one was okay. I'll have to try another one soon. Maybe tonight.

 

[Otaku]

For all the hype surrounding this stick I was expecting to love it. I actually found it rather sweet, with alot of citrus. I was kind of let down by it. I guess after reading your post I will have to revisit this stick.

 

[njstone]

The one I smoked back when I posted this was probably 6 months old. People always talk about how cigars can loose strength with age, but seldom talk about how cigars can sometimes gain body with age--I think these do. I think the LP#9 might gain body with a little down time too.

Dan did you get any when famous had their sale?

I really enjoy this cigar. The only thing preventing me from buying more of them is the high price tag.

 

[Padron_26_64_4_Me]

I know they carry these at Tobacco Road in Sacramento and the price point, even by Cali standards, is not that bad.

I am going to pick one up on Wednesday and see what all the hype is about.

 

[ciggy]

Yep...this sounds like a cigar right down Larry's alley! :stretchgr

 

[Cigahs]

Hmm...

As luck would have it...

Unfortunately no. My B&M had them on clearance a few months ago and I grabbed a couple. I should have grabbed more.

Sounds about right on from my experience. Vanilla and citrus.
