Pepin Garcia My Father

[GarlicBelch]

Don Pepín Garcia My Father No. 2

Excellent cigar, although not as spicy as say, the Pepín Cuban Classic. I tasted the mild spice that I like from Pepín, but not enough for me. Definitely consistent, wonderful flavors throughout. I would say a medium body for sure. The biggest positive for this cigar was the construction. Man, this is a well-made cigar! I had the No. 2 (5.2 x 54). No unravels, stayed tight all the way through to the end. I would probably not get too many more of these in the future, as there are way too many cigars out there to try, but I do plan on putting a couple in the humidor to age.

:ccool:

Another great review. The My Father I believe is actually done by Pepin's son as a tribute to his father. The cigar band is beautiful as is the cigar itself. I loved the lance but was not all to fond of the others. Give the lance a try, you'll be glad that you did.

Whoa bro you are on fire !!! Good review. I have never had a Pepin in my life "maybe soon thanks to CATeacher"due to me being in the middle east where NCs and DCs are our CCs. So what do you reckon bro ? Should I look for a couple to set in the humi or get a fiver ?

BTW your avatar looks like a lighter skinned cartoon of myself ! LoL

There is something refined & delicate about the My Father that I just love & crave. I didn't detect it at first - it wasn't until months later that I revisited it that I noticed it. Maybe it was age on the sticks? Perhaps it was my own changing taste. I have been craving more medium-bodied sticks lately...

The My Father is an excellent blend (and yes, one of the finest looking bands in the business), one that Jaime & Pepin are & should be proud of. It's become one of my absolute favorites!

If you don't 'taste it' now, revisit it later! Just my honest opinion!

:thumbsup:

Thanks for all the replies everyone! Yes, I will pick up a couple more and let them age...see where that gets me. I have too many Cuban Classics sitting right now that I got to get through... :smokingbo

Pepin Garcia's blends are quickly becoming some of my favs.

Haha, the avatar was a quick snap of my Nintendo Mii cleaned up in PS a little...

I would say it's good enough for a fiver, definitely!

BTW, anyone try a Serie JJ around here? I plan on picking a couple up pretty soon to see what they are like...

I have one of these in a lancero and I've been waiting to spark it up. Great little review!

Thanks! Yes, the band is a work of art. I usually toss the bands out, but I'm keeping this one in the humidor drawer...

I have been away from BOTL for way too long. I plan to post up more mini-reviews after I smoke 'em as time permits!

I'm definitely a fan of the fatter cigars, but I have been known to smoke lanceros here and there. I'll try this one in Lancero at some point.
