DPG Vegas Cubanas double corona.
Hey Will, sounds nice. Are we still smoking Churchill sized cigars in honor of D-Day?
I'll have to start hunting for one. Please post a play by play review.
I got this about a year ago from when Atlantic was running them on special. Something like $2.80/ea. Lotta cigar for the money.
Flavor wise, the DPG VC was never top shelf Pepin. Better than the mixed fillers stuff, maybe on par with the original long filler Tabaocs Baez (though different flavor profiles and wrappers and such), maybe a little higher. But not on par with the Black, Blue, JJ, etc.
Draw is a little tight, even burn for the first half inch so far. Medium body, medium flavor, so-so smoke production. Coffee with cream, mild to moderate amount of Pepin spice/pepper, cedar accents. Not a bad start.
Into the smoke a bit more and it's pretty much the same. Pepper has gotten just a little heavier, but still a coffee with cream core flavor, some cedar accents, light spice. Reminds me a little of the La Reloba Hababo. Not as sweet as that one starts, nor as heavy on the earth (so far, at least; I have a lot of cigar to go), but the same medium body/flavor. Very easy going cigar, could be a great golf smoke or something for the track.
