Description
From the master blender behind the success of the My Father Brand comes the Don Pepin Garcia Blue. Pepin and Jaime Garcia, father and son, bring this bold blend that's full-bodied and wrapped in a spicy Nicaraguan Corojo Oscuro wrapper.

Initial Thoughts:
I knew Don Pepin was behind My Father cigars, so I grabbed the Don Pepin Garcia Blue Original with anticipation.
This dark cigar is full-bodied and has a slight hint of the flavor notes of the My Father Cigars I’ve scored so highly. While the cigar is burning well and the draw is perfect, the bold flavors aren’t as delicious as, say, the My Father Centurion. That said, the aroma of the Don Pepin Garcia Original is on point!

Final Thoughts:
The Don Pepin Garcia Original is a decent cigar. If you want some of the flavors of the My Father line, but want a lower price point, give this cigar a try. I didn’t love it and I don’t think it quite belongs in the My Father line, and for those reasons, I give this a CigarScore of 3.
