La Aroma Da Cuba

[balboa]

My favorite cigar right now is the La Aroma De Cuba, I love these things. They are distributed through Ashton, but Don Pepin makes them. For $7 a stick, they are amazing.

Haven't tried the regular line, but the E.E. is fantastic!

Great stick. One of my favorites also.:cbig:

I believe this is the new blend, that the Garcia family played a part in.

Bought a couple of the old blend at the B&M on sale (like $1 off). The old blend is really good. Anybody have any info on the old blend, someone should recreate that blend under a new name imo. I'd buy a box.

Peace, Nick

These are a very solid stick and for the price you can't go wrong.

I agree, the Pepin blended version was much better than the original.

The Pepin blended cigar is one of my favs. Always have a box in my humi.

Yes I do love the Pepin ones, my favorite cigar right now. I have not smoked the older version. I probably wont now, I found one now for when I put my pipe to a rest :grinFU:

The old blend was a so-so cigar, decent midrange stick offered at a very competitive price, but nothing particularly exciting flavor-wise IMHO. It was made by Fuente.

The new Pepin blend is still a competitively priced cigar, but the flavor is MUCH more exciting and dynamic in comparison to the old one. No, it's not a top shelf stick, but it's not priced like one either. I'd say that it's an even BETTER value now than it was before. The bang for the buck is really good on the new La Aroma de Cuba blend.

The New Blend has the exact same band as the old, however the New Blend has a red ribbon on the foot. It's a very nice cigar.

I believe it was in the top 10 in CA 2009 list

These are exceptional. Also, for what it's worth, they generally have a near perfect ash. So crisp and uniform in fact that I'm going to get some pics for the next perfect ash contest.

I would totally agree with that. I have no burn issues with these. All I have to say is Pepin is the man, I love his stuff :chat:

Have you tried the Immensa (5 1/2 x 60)? I picked up a box but haven't tried one yet.
If you dig around a little you can get the Robusto's for around $110/bx. That's only $4.40/stick.

No way!?! Really?

Geesh. Fuck me then! :crosseyed

Sounds like we may be talking three different sticks. La Aroma de Cuba was a 93 rated CA cigar years ago in the robusto size. This blend has been reblended. Have not tried that one and must be the one with the red ribbon in the foot. The Edicion Especiale has a diff label, gold. Great stick. I used to like the original blend but lost interest.

Right, the stick I am talking about is the red ribbon on the foot. Great stick.
