Unfortunately, I do believe CB has gone on to that big humidor in the sky for an eternal rest.
Not 100% certain, but I found an obituary a while back that I'm pretty sure was his. 😞

Last summer I worked the fire camp in Gold Beach for a couple months.
This huge water truck pulls into camp, and I hop up on the side of his rig to tell him where to go, and as he lowers his window more, a huge, but wonderful waft of cigar smoke hits me.................awesome room note!
I ask what he’s smoking.........Old Henry Maduro.

I know Pepin has been making these for MB3 for a long time.
Anyone have these in their rotation?
Any comments on favorite lines and/or vitolas?
Thx

I'm a fan of the original. I remember reading a story years ago on the MBIII web site. I don't know if it's true or not, but they claim that many years ago, an older Cuban roller came into their Philly store and offered to roll cigars in their front window. The cigars where an instant hit with their customers. The older Cuban roller? None other then an unknown Don Pepin Garcia himself. According to the story, this is how Pepin got his start. Their claim was that the Old Henry is the original blend that Pepin rolled in their store front window. This story since been removed from their website so take it with a grain of salt.

Yikes. Hadn't realized that he's been away from here for over four years. And more like 7 or 8 since I've heard from him. Sad.

If someone confirms, I'll update the memorial page

How long has he been gone?

I haven’t texted his wife in some time.

sorry to hear...he lived up to his name, and found a supplier of aged LFD Coronados that many of us enjoyed...I may have one or two of those left, which I'll smoke in his honor...
