So i stopped by my B&M yesterday to pick up a couple of smokes(Almirante and an Antano) as I was paying I saw a bundle of cigars on the counter, I asked my guy what they were and he compted me one while telling me that he's got pepin roliing these just for him and his shop. Now they are a budget smoke, a "good lawn mowing smoke" as he said, the robusto is 1.70 while the churchill is 2 bucks. I dont know how true it is, I havent fired it u yet but who knows if he was bs'ing me or not, he knows I love all Pepin as everytime I'm in there I walk out with at least 1 Pepin smoke. I mean, it doesnt even have a triple cap, but I'm not sure Pepin triple caps everything. Well I'll spark this up tomorrow and report back, worst comes to worst if its good I know now where I can pick up a bundle of 50 for a cheap price.

It sounds like it's a short/mixed filler if it's only $1.70

Some of the best cheap smokes are short or mixed filler...the Padron Fuma was one of them. Best cheap smoke out there so you never know. YOu might have a gem.

I call BS. I don't see Pepin doing a single shop yard gar and I don't think he sells anything for $1 or less wholesale... sounds more like Rocky's M.O.

It could be the Benchmade, but MSRP on the robusto I believe is around $3.50/$3.75 a stick, more than likely it may be the Little Havana Overruns III's.
