Would be interested in hearing the impressions of others on this line. A "search" here didn't turn up much. In reading through some material, this sounds like it fits my flavor/strength preferences.

Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The Sancti Spiritus is a Great cigar, or at least the Salamon I smoked a few years ago. Although the cigarking website says they are very limited, I don't think they were a limited edition run. From what I was told, Hirsch had to let go of a few lines in order to keep the Habana Leon and the Hirsch & Garcia. What they have left is inventory from a few years back. This was back when Pepin hooked up with Ashton. During that period, a lot of boutique Pepin's were discontinued in order to make space for all the new Ashton products.

Although all the cigarking Pepin cigars were/are great, I don't buy them anymore. IMO they are overpriced. I used to smoke a Habana Leon every weekend when a box went for $150 +/-. However, when Hirsch jacked them up to $190 +/- per bundle (no more boxes, it brought the price over $200), I said screw that. Buy a bundle if you don't mind spending the cash. You will love them. If you haven't tried the Habana Leon, please do so. It is an amazing cigar. Perhaps Pepin's best!!

Best thing to do is go on their website and sign up for the specials. They rotate all the sticks to be on special sale. Habana Leon and the Spiritu have been on sale from 40 to 50% off. Full MSRP they are pricey but on sale...a great smoke at a good price.

Can't believe I have missed that :crying:

The last time I saw HL's, they were only 20% off the MSRP. Do they still rotate the specials every Sunday?

They do one day sales from time to time. Also around Christmas they did two big sales at 50%.
