Anyone had a chance to try these yet? I see serious cigars has them, I am going to order some soon.

I was not aware of this line. Let us know how they turn out.

I have one sitting in the humi. Hope to get to it this week. I have heard good things!

It is a Don Pepin Blended Domestic San Cristobal being distributed by Ashton.

Smoked it last night.

Definitely a Pepin Cigar and WOW. Billowing clouds of smoke. I did have to correct it a few times but it was also around 70% when I took it out. 65% and it would be perfect! Tons of flavors coming through a nice spice throughout. Aroma was wonderful, flavors were complex and aftertaste was great.

Definitely a thumbs up if you are a pepin fan!

Forgot to add...got the lightheaded from it. Nice full bodied, full flavored.

I'm having a different experience with this cigar than it appears everyone else is. I tried some at the RTDA a couple of weeks ago, and thought they were almost as good as the old VSG's. But the box I recieved this week seems to be completely different. The first half of the stick still reminds me of a cross between a DP Blue label and a Tres Mystique, the second half though, straight to Macanudo Hyde Park. Of course, I only had two, so I'm willing to try more.
