This cigar started out bitter and stayed that way through the first 1/3 of the smoke.  After that it developed a taste that would be like any old $2 cigar that you might buy in a gas station humidor.  Being that is was from Pepin, I was not at all impressed.  The thought crossed my mind that it might have been stored improperly from the shop I got it from, but it is a good shop in Arlington that has a good reputation, so I can’t imagine that is the case.  I might go ahead and try another, just to give it the benefit of the doubt, but I expected alot more from a Pepin Cigar.  Right now, I’d rate it at a C-

The vitola I smoked is the one at the bottom on this photo.
