Troya by Pepin

[caseabb]

I used to smoke Troyas back in the day. Anyone had the new Pepin blended Troyas? Let me know what you think.

No, but I had a Benchmade the other day. I think it's going on the "Cheap-assed Hall of Fame."

Is that good or bad?:squinteye

 

[Altercall]

That's good. Think of it like this... Would you buy a $2.75 stick that tastes like a Pepin?

Damn, I still haven't had a chance to pick any up. :sadstare:

me neither. i guess they'll hit shelves around here soon.

as far as the troya, i've been looking for one forever, but all the stores I've seen that sell troya, never have the Clasico, which I believe is the one Pepin blended.

Gotcha. Thats why I buy the Holts Fumadores.

Benchmades. Yum. Going on box #2.

Had one today (robusto) that I bought while visiting family in Texas. It was a little inconsistent to me, but overall pretty good. Definitely had the Pepin pepper blast to start (Mmmm). Lots of smoke, burn and draw were great. Good enough that I want to try another if I get my hands on one!

IMH- The Troya's were okay - good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get one.
I gave away the last few I had...
I think Famous was charging $9/ea. I think $5-6 would have been more appropriate.

Yea, I picked up a box awhile back on Joe Cigar for $50 or something, I've had a couple, letting them rest for awhile until I try them again.

They were good, typical Pepin, but a little more bland then his usual in my opinion.

No doubt, I sell the crap out of these at the shop when people are looking for a good bargain cigar. I smoke quite a few of them myself.

I had a couple of them finally. Not exciting at all. They are pretty pricey as well. I will not purchase anymore.
