Outstanding cigars and one of his better blends IMO, especially the first batch (version I, very spicy). These sell out in a couple days and the first batch came in many sizes and two wrappers (Connecticut and Corojo, 25 to a bundle). The second batch/version II came in only one size and one...

[/b] Those house brand cigars at P.G.C. Hajenius in Amsterdam (a blend of various countries including Cuba) happen to be quite good. They've sold those for many, many years.

These are very fresh with hardly any box age. They just need some box time in your humidors.

That's because it's a Pepin made Holt's only exclusive blend. Only at Holt's and the Old Henry IMO is the best Pepin blend to date (I prefer the toro) along with the Tatuaje Havana VI Red Label Artista torp. Most Pepins have a similar profile with varying degrees of strength. The OH, however...

Yes, give the guy (Julian a break)! He's gone out of his way to please on multiple accounts from the 1932's to the few Opus he's had and he apparently has great prices as well. Frank Santos is also a class act. Stop the rudeness to both parties.

I think we are going to see more problems like this down the road. Pepin has blown up so fast and is pumping out so many different brands/blends for people, that it's impossible to not have some quality control issues. Furthermore, so many of his cigars, with the exception of the Tatuaje's...

Me and a few guys at HP have a box on the way.
