Don Pepin Garcia Vegas Cubanas Cigar Review

January 10, 2008

This cigar was completely off the radar for me, I had never even heard of it. This was shock seeing that it had arguably the greatest cigar maker of our time’s name attached to it.

The cigar seemed to have that typical rock solid Pepin construction going for it.

Romeo y Julieta Habana Reseve Belicoso Cigar Review

January 9, 2008

The Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve was released at the 2007 RTDA Trade Show. The cigar is absolutely gorgeous, I love the band and the oily wrapper. Construction is superb, a nice firmness with slightly resistant draw. Typically I try and stay away from the big name brands, but I couldn’t resist these and picked up two at The Party Source’s Cigar Tasting last night. Information is kinda sparse on this cigar yet, I gleaned some information from Gary’s Review on Cigar Advisor.
