I need pics in reviews.. other than that nicely done. I know I might get a lot of flack on this, but I haven't been too on the boat for pepin's stuff. I do enjoy the 601 maduros. I've heard the "my father" is over priced but hey everyone had different tastes. I find it hard to find smokes past the 10 dollar range that are really worth the extra cash. At least for me..

I'm not big on any of his namesake brands, but I do greatly enjoy all the blends he has done for 5 Vegas and Tat. The Mi Barrio is also damn good. I haven't tried a My Father yet, but I do have one of the Cedro Deluxes in the aging humi.

I added some pics for ya. They're not mine, but it's the exact same cigar..... plus, I thought they were very nice pics. I used to always either add a stock photo with my reviews or take a few pics of my own (but I'm a horrible photographer...... you should see my wife when I take pictures, "Marty! Could you get at least ONE of me with my eyes open!!!").
Still a little new to this whole thing, but I will tell you two things. Went to my local B&M about a week ago. Had a Tatuaje and absolutely loved every second of it. It was the one in the red tube. My only complaint was that I was not able to nub it because the draw got very inconsistent on the back end. Other than that great absolutely great cigar. I just smoked a My Father yesterday and again loved the hell out of it. Great spice to it and just all around great. Thought I was going to have problems with burn when I looked down and it was uneven, but it evened itself out and I nubbed it. Loved it and would definetly purchase again.
I smoked a My Father No. 3 tonight. I had a terrible time of it. First, the pre-light draw had an extreme ammonia flavor, painfully chemical tasting. I decided to just go for it anyway, and see what happened. Well, it was plugged. So first I cut a little more off. Nothing. I finally got my poker, and STILL nothing. I was able to draw, but the smoke production was almost non-existent. I Smoked it for about and inch and a half, and finally it started to open up a little bit. Then the wrapper started cracking. There also was a massive crevasse in the ash that I cannot explain. Then the draw became super tight again.
And of course, it tasted like bleach the entire time. After a little over two inches, I threw in the towel, and chucked it. I love the My Father stuff I have had previously, but this was most definitely an AWFUL dud.
