"VG--Definitely Worth a Try"
These are very good. Perhaps not Don Pepin's best work, but definitely worth the price and worth a try if you enjoy his other cigars. I'm guessing the negative review from Paul means he was either having a really bad day or he's hoping to save them all for himself. I've smoked most of a box over about 60 days and they tend to start off spicy, but then sort of "flatten-out." toward the end. Haven't seen that very often and never with Pepin's smokes. Construction, draw, burn, consistency and appearance are superb! The taste reminds me of the 601's and I prefer Pepin's Blues and Blacks. Given 'em a try. I think you'll enjoy them.
