My Father Baseball bat and pipe shaped cigars

[tfb5701]

One of my local B&M's is selling DPG My Father cigars shaped like baseball bats and some others that are kind of in a pipe or saxophone shape. Anyone have any info on these cigars?

These are custom cigars that Pepin rolls at events. I watched him roll both of these when he came to Orlando a couple years ago except they were the JJ blend.

These are Pepin's signature cigars. He sometimes rolls them at events. I'm trying to procure some and image others are as well.

I'm not sure if Pepin rolled them himself.

A guy working at the B&M said they got the chance to purchase some from DPG and that they got them in the mail just before christmas. The bats are in a small My Father box and the pipe/saxophone looking ones are individually sealed in cello so it looks like these ones were not event cigars. But they look exactly like the ones that I have seen displayed in cigar shops that were rolled by DPG at events.

You can typically buy these at his shop on Calle Ocho as well.

I'll get actual pictures of the cigars tomorrow. A BOTL asked me to pick an example of each up for him when I'm in the area tomorrow. My camera isn't here(home on semester break) but I'll take pictures with my crappy cell phone camera and post them.

If anything it's a nice cigar keepsake. :thumbsup:

Yeah knowing me I'd smoke it and I doubt it's a $40 smoke.

I can almost guarantee it is not a $40 smoke

He can roll a very nice botl bottle also!

Would love to get my hands on one of the baseball bats for my display shelf. Anyone care to help out a Brit. Obviously I'll cover costs and send a little island care package to make it worth your while

Whatever happened to that?

Mitch is the botl bottle keeper.

Friend of mine has the old blue label bat 2006 rolled by the man himself.

CAO did a bat as well in their "Soprano" line. Also some other shapes.

I've always wanted to smoke the "pipe" cigar for some reason. I've never seen one in person.

The bats are really cool and that pipe one is frickin' awesome.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a couple of the baseball ones and maybe even smokin' them next time my team wins the World Series.

These were raffled off at the Pepin event I went to last summer, think he had rolled them before we got there.

I am hearing about these from various sources, so I think they are being sold in very limited quantities at various stores...
