There was an Army Apache helicopter landing at the store.
Here is Pepin rolling cigars last Saturday at the Outlaw Pepin Party. It was a great event and we got to smoke some great cigars. I tried the Vegas Cubanas from Pepin and really enjoyed it. There was a buy some get some free deal going on. The freebies were hand rolled for the event and very tastey as well.
6 1/4 x 52 Honduras $7.00
It started out with a little pepper taste that mellowed quick. It is a medium bodied smoke that is very smooth. You get tons of creamy smoke with this Rocky. This cigar has earthy tones with a kick of coffees. The burn is very even. This has the 5 year-old Ecuadorian sun grown wrapper that makes it a bit sweet.
Nub 464t Connecticut 4 x 64 $4.00
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Shade Grown Connecticut Binder: Nicaragua Filler: Nicaragua
After smoking the Camaroon and being a little disappointed I didn't have high expectations on the Connecticut. I was wrong to think that way. This is a creamy smoke that has a mild to medium body. The binder and filler are Nicaraguan and very tasty. I normally don't get too excited about a milder smoke, but this little guy is a nice change of pace. After lunch I enjoyed this cigar and will probably enjoy another again given the opportunity.

Belicoso Finos 5 1/2 inch by 52 $9.00
Nicaraguan with Ecuadoran-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper
Cabaiguan is a release from master cigar blender Pepin Garcia, the maker of the famous Tatuaje line of cigars. Named after his hometown in Cuba, Cabaiguan, pronounced (kah-bei-gwahn), is another example of Pepin Garcia’s talent as a cigar blender. Blended with a Connecticut shade Ecuadorian grown wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler, the Cabaiguan is a medium to full-bodied cigar, slightly milder than the Tatuaje but equal in flavor and complexity. The cigar is earthy and spicy, with a creamy quality. Pepin Garcia blends with the flavor of his homeland in mind and has reproduced that flavor so well that while smoking Cabaiguan you can close your eyes and feel like your smoking a Pre-Castro Cuban.
You have to try this cigar!
Don Pepin Garcia will be at the Outlaw on August 23rd. The event is going to be huge and I have planned to enjoy the day out there smoking my favorites smokes. If you don't have anything planned for the 23rd--You should be at the Outlaw! www.outlawcigar.com
