What a fantastic time, what a fantastic man. Although he doesn't speak English, conversation was not that difficult. Below are some of the pics I took.

Pepin let me play at the rollers table, cutting wrapper leaf here

Another one of a kind cigar, a Blue band Pepin lancero custom rolled with a Connecticut wrapper and a pigtail with a triple cap, and it's all mine. Only one on the planet, and I have it.

Those are some great pics! I'm really stoked to see those unique cigars, too.

Are you going to smoke your one-of-a-kind? Or is it going to be a cherished item for a long time to come?

Those pics are awesome, thanks for sharing! Don Pepin's daughter is hot!

 

[Fidel]

I`m kicking myself. My boss (the non-smoking bastid) wouldnt give me a half day off to make the trip.

Looks like it was a terrific event.

Thanks for sharing. Great pics!

Is that newspaper or magazine pages wrapped around cigars :dunno:

Yep, newspaper, they rolled the filler and binder earlier in the day, and then used the newspaper to kind of squeeze them and keep then almost pressed in a way. It also held in moisture till the wrapper was put on.
