anyone else see the diff between this band and the last? are they both the real deal?
They could both be the real deal. I just read that from 2002 to 2009 there was no Cuba in the bottom part of the label except in limitados from 2006 and on. In 2009 they added it to all except small ring gauges.
A nice old Pepin-blended Cubao from Jiunn. Thank you very much!!! The construction on this stick was impeccable. The ash didn't drop until the halfway point. It was a little bitter, but that didn't deter too much from the overall balance of the cigar. Very nice smoke despite the cold temperatures outside (that's snow in the background for you Cali guys that don't know any better).
I've also decided that the next 50 cigars I smoke will be cigars I received from my ccom brethren. Considering I probably have over 100 such cigars, this shouldn't be too hard. So here is #1. I'm pretty much going to own this thread for the next several months, lol.
This is one those few Pepn's blends I like. I have 15 sticks aging from 2010. Sometime I think after little age Cubao is as good as Padron 2000 but cheaper in price.

Gifted cigar #4. The Brazilian puro Monte Pascoal courtesy of The RobbyRas. Smoked this while cleaning up the garage tonight. Really nice medium-bodied cigar. Thanks again Rob!
It's cold outside, so my trek to 50 is going a little slow. Nonetheless, #6 in my streak comes courtesy of Jim. A nice Hemingway Short Story. I love this line of cigars and this one was plenty considering the temps outside today. Thanks again Jim!!!
