This one has been sitting in the humidor for a couple of months now. I bought it because it was a Pepin Garcia cigar, and like all of his others ones, I thought it was really good.
The previous night before I smoked this black-banded classic, I smoked a Tatuaje Torpedo, probably my favorite or 2nd favorite of his cigars, so in my opinion the Cuban Classic didn’t quite measure up. Don’t get me wrong, it was a great smoke, but I didn’t care for it as much as I liked the Tatuaje. I will probably pickup another one of these to try again at some point, especially if I find a deal online for a 5-pack or something. My tastes weren’t all that on-target this night, I couldn’t really taste anything specific, perhaps some nutmeg but I am not too sure. Definately leaves room for me to smoke another one at some point.

I’ve been wanting to try these smokes for a while now, and I am glad that I finally ordered some. I got them from www.joecigar.com
The cigar started strong with a lot of smoke. It stayed strong all the way to the end, giving good tastes of wood and perhaps some nutty flavor that I couldn’t place. The draw was near perfect. The only thing that disappointed me was that it kept going out. I had to re-light it literally about 10 times during the course of the smoke. I was waiting only 1-3 minutes in between puffs, so it should have stayed lit much better, in my opinion. It could be the fact that I smoked the cigar right when I received it in the mail and if it had been kept in a very moist place, it could have been too humid. So the other 2 sticks I got, I am going to leave in the humidor for a couple of weeks before trying to smoke them again.
