Don Pepin Classic Black Edition Robusto

Worth knowing

The very classic series from the hand of the Cuban exile and today's grandee of Nicaraguan cigar making José „Don Pepín“ Garcia is clearly cheaper than his brand „My Father“, but also äußonly successful! Smoking time here approx. 50 – 60 minutes.

Flavours

For a cigar in this price segment, Garcia's Standard Robusto is incredibly coherent and dense in aroma. Like many Nicaraguanas, it is initially very spicy and direct, but settles down immediately and then unfolds a bouquet of dark woods, freshly roasted coffee, brown bread, earth and liquorice, interspersed again and again with subtle sweet (dried) fruit notes. The light smoke increasingly offers a latent cocoa note and gains a pleasantly leathery impression reminiscent of Pep's Cuban roots. The medium-bodied cigar tastes stronger than it actually is – always a mark of quality!
