I am smoking one of the new Pepin cigars, the My Family. Fantastic cigar. The prelight had a very barnyard type flavor to it that i personally don't care for. But it all changed once lit. Still a hint of that flavor but when it's not as strong, it's very good, if that makes sense. These aren't as full as the Blue labels, but just as much flavor, if not more. I really really like these. I'm smoking the lancero and I will get more of these for sure.
