Least Favorite Pepin Blend.

JJ maduro and the 601 Blue

well all you guys can send me all your Seriee JJs. i love em!!!!

but the benchmade was a tough one for me, as well as the old henry's. I've got a couple lanceros that have been laying down for a couple years now...maybe they've gotten better...

 

[Liteumup]

I LOVE DPG.............BUT
Benchmade- like sucking through a straw- but a great lawn-gar
CI Yellow - great $2 stick
5 vegas miami- depends on the vitola IMHO
The Cubao is my least fav so far

Ive only had a couple (like 1 or 2 tats) but recently I had a Series JJ Maduro. Now, my opinion of this stick may be biased because Im new to full body/strength cigars. But I found this stick to be harsh and lacking dimension. I did however get some nice flavors towards last third but by that time i was so tired of spice and pepper. Ive got a few other DPG blends to try so we will see how those go. I may need to just immerse myself and smoke nothing but full bodied sticks for a while to get a feeling for the style of blend.

not a fan of the cabaiguan, but i love tatuaje, dpg blue, 601 greens, san cristobals, etc...

5 Vegas.....yuk!

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

Cabaiguan Maduro....just to mild for my tatstes!

Now I do love the JJ Natties and the dozen or so of the CI Yellows I have smoked I liked alot.

Tabacos Baez SF and Benchmade.

Reading this thread, it amazes me how tastes can be completely different. Smoke what you like, it's so true.

 

[Jfire]

Yeah forgot about the benchmade. Fail.

 

[Otaku]

Mi Barrio. I found it had an overpowering citrus flavor for the first half of the stick. The last half was a bit toned down, but this smoke did nothing for me.

Completely agree. Seeing people list Tatuaje in this thread nearly makes my eyes pop out of my head, but then, a lot of people like the Cabaiguan, too.

 

[miurajus]

Have had Blue, Black, Tat Havana VI, LADCEE, San Cristobal.

Didn't care a lot for the Tat Havana VI.

 

[caseabb]

Hate the Tobaccos Baez dislike the Series JJ

 

[Danilo]

Cabaiguan natys are a nogo for me.

 

[D Quintero]

DPG blue demi tasse
the blend is good but at $4 a pop :headroll:
f**in joke!

 

[StocktonJohn]

I don't like the baez sf or the ci yellow... The JJ maduro is also one that I just can't get into although I enjoy the natural JJ.

 

[Hardcore]

I can't get into the Blue.

 

[daniyal]

haven't had the 5 Vegas so would say the JJ Series.

Benchmade and 601 Blue were Ok but disappointing.

I'm a little curious about the Tatuaje responses which to me anyway seems to be an awfully unfair generalization. Yes there are a few Tatuaje blends that I don't particularly care for but others that I love. Maybe it's me, don't get me wrong I'm not criticizing anyone here, but since all of the other cigars were specifically named I would have liked to have heard which of the Tats some found unappealing.

Cheers
