Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1979 Cigar Review

Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic 1979 Cigar Review – This 5×50 stick features a dark brown softly and lightly packed wrapper with minimal veins, tight invisible seams, triple cap and pungent sweet cocoa and hay aroma  First light reveals a perfect draw with plumes of medium-full bodied smoke showing notes of a big oily slick sweetness followed by a pepper and earth through the long finish.  The first third quickly transitions to a very simple profile of dry wood and light earth with the sweetness and most of the pepper subsiding.  The 1/2 way point comes at 25 minutes just adding a hint of the sweetness back.  The ash holds in a solid chunk and performance is flawless.  Ending at 50 minutes to the warm nub, the last third was just the dry medium bodied wood with a lingering earth finish.
