Jamie Garcia Reserve Especial

[ciggy]

OK, so I can be a little slow...I'm sure this cigar has been discussed but I couldn't find it.
This cigar has me intriqued but I tend to balk at the Pepin blends as most of them don't suit my pallet. Have any of you tried this blend and what is your take on it. My local is not getting these so I may have to look on line but I'm hesitant.:scratchhe

I reviewed it (briefly) last week.

Worth every penny. Atlantic is now selling five packs of these and both La Reloba's with a free lighter.

My local B&M got all 5 fives in yesterday, I was alble to try the Toro, it's a damn fine cigar in my opinion.

NHC has the line sampler up

It is a great smoke for the price point.

I've had the Belicoso and agree with previous posters that this is a tremendous smoke. Certainly his best blend so far and these are very reasonably priced. Not nearly as spicy and intense as the original My Father, these are very smooth with lots of flavor and the strength has been dialed down a notch or two.

Smoked the Toro yesterday. Nice smoke, great price point. Very interested in trying the smaller rings..

I smoked a Petite Robusto a few days back and was very impressed.

 

[hdroadglide]

got my first one going right now. Not typical pepin for sure. And that aint a bad thing!

 

[Le Buzz]

just saw these on NHC... broadleaf wrapper! sure sounds like a winner... i wish they had a corona size thou.. or maybe a lonsdale.

I smoked a Petite Robusto a few days back and was very impressed.

I'm with you Joe, tryed the Toro first but was more impressed with the Petit Robusto! :cbig:

 

[Jadawin]

Picked up a few tonight. looking forward to trying them!

 

[BSBONO]

one of the most surprising and pleasant new smokes of the year. Outstanding!

 

[BigFoot]

Agreed 100%

I bought a couple boxes because in a year or two these are going to shine!

I smoked a robusto in May that was amazing.... It was my best cigar
this year so far! Last night I smoked a petit robusto and had to put it
down 2/3's of the way through the ash lasted for 2.5 inches, but the
nicotine content almost knocked me off my feet! I went inside, got a
glass of ice water, and then hopped in the shower.... It was very
peppery also... Nothing like the first one I smoked, but still enjoyable.

I wasn't looking for strength last night, but I sure got it! *SMH*

Tom, trust me brotha... Get you some!

I haven't tried one yet, but have a few Petite Robustos on their way to me--I'm a fan of that size in general.

 

[vivalanation734]

Its definitely one of my favorite smokes this year. Spicy and bold, but has a nice subtle sweetness to it with a hint of orange peel. Got to love broadleaf!

 

[ciggy]

I finely did try one of these in a robosto size. Sorry but again just wasn't in my flavor zone. To me it smoked like a Partaga. To be fare, I will have to revisit this cigar again as judging from just one can be a bad mistake.

I just finished another this moring (toro) one of my favorites.

Even the wife asked what I was smoking when she came out on the front porch with her coffee before work and said she really liked the smell of it. I nearly fell off the rocker. That is the 3rd or 4th time in all the years she said she really liked the smell of a cigar.
