Don Pepin Garcia

Series JJ

It was ok, burned hot. Great construction and even burn.

Nice connecticut wrapper, well rolled, few veins. Well packed, no soft spots. Great draw, good, white, creamy smoke. Starts mellow, with hay and creamy, graham cracker notes. Light nuttiness. Consistently smooth until it turns bitter in the last third. Went out once and to relight it. Overall not a bad Connecticut for the price

Connoisseur’s take: this was a good cigar. I like the original Garcia cigar my father had and this was a good cigar too. I recommend this cigar due to its great earthy and marshmallow tastes.

Not the biggest fan of the after taste. The initial flavor is great but the lingering taste is not for me. Good presentation and craftsmanship.

Fine cigar but nothing special. It was pretty mild and approachable. A pretty good value cigar, since I only paid about $8 for it.

Cinnamon Roll

Another solid smoke from My Father. Extremely similar taste to the La Aroma de Cuba. If all bands were removed I’m honestly not sure if I could tell the difference. Certainly not a bad thing since the La Aromas are fantastic as well.
