I've been researching Pepin : )
The retailer that has Pepin making Cuban Diplomat Corojo Rosado, Nacionales W, Habana Leon, Havana Soul, and Hirsh y Garcia (hint: he owns the spho) caught my interest. Surprisingly these are all made in the USA at his Miami factory, with tobaccos imported from abroad.
All of these cigars are getting great reviews (no surprise there), and being the curious type that I am I wanted to try them all ! Problem was that it was going to be an expensive proposition, as each line either offered a 5'er or a variety size sampler ranging from ~ $35-$60 each, times 5 different lines. I called their spho and we talked about Pepin a bit, and I asked them if they could make a sampler in one vitola, with a couple from each line. He said they do, it used to be on their website, but they still carry it in their spho - $49 for two churchills of each Pepin line - Wahooo!!
They also had a few boxes of Cuesta-Rey Stanford’s Cameroon Reserve Churchills left - I'm on cloud nine today !!!
