I have seen these sell for 350 to 400 a box. 75 bucks for a fiver is a great deal. And you can see they sold fast. I am far from a pepin ho, but these babys are :bigup:

Re: Greatest Pepin cigar ever made!
Everyone has their opinions about what Don Pepin stick is the greatest. To tell you the truth,....back in the day I absolutely hated this cigar. It was one of the most peppery, stout sticks DPG ever made. But then over time the pepperiness subsided and revealed some beautiful flavors akin to aged Cubans over an extended resting period. I still have a box of the Pepin made Troyas from around the same time as the El Centurion (2007-2008)release and they are smoking well. Different strokes for different folks i guess.

I actually agree with you that the Troya was a good medium bodied cigar. I don't know what the retail was on these, but for $2.25 cigar which is were they were at a couple years ago, they were a fantastic value. I could smoke them myself or gift them on the golf course and they where enjoyed by all. Now don't run out and buy them because as mentioned, I believe they have changed blends.
Granted your salesmanship in my opinion was a little over the top for a cigar you were selling below retail, but don't take this thread as some person attack. It is more of a cut on Pepin and all the other manufactures/countries which are churning out cigars that you don't know what to expect from them. Are they worth the price point? Will they age? Will they continue to manufacture them at all or with some consistency for a period of time? Will the new cigars come at a cost of an old reliable they have been producing from year? It is certainly an industry under flux.

Seriously?
Sorry man, but you just heard from 20 people who said this cigar IS worth the price, DID age well, etc. No uncertainty here. And these were an LE so the consistency question is moot. And you heard from plenty of people who agreed that this is one of Pepin's best cigars, so no amg's salesmanship was not "over the top."
Lol, you ask all these questions as if to prove your "industry is in flux" argument, but all of these questions have been disproven already in the posts above (in regards to the cigar in question), and obviously everyone has their own tastes, etc ... but did you even read this thread before you posted this, lol?
If you just feel like ranting against DPG, start a thread for it. But this argument was lost as soon as you posted this thread.

Lost on what?
So when was the last time you saw an ISO the "Greatest Pepin Cigar"? I don't recall seeing a post looking since they were a relatively new cigar.
I do see a post selling them though for below retail. :o

Give it up man. You made a thread thinking you were funny. About 10 people come in here and state it could possibly be the best don pepin cigar made. Taste is subjective. Some people consider it the best pepin made but its obvious that you dont. It doesnt make either side right or wrong. But then you rant about irrelevant things like DPG's ability to age, the price, and whatever else you are grasping onto.
The cigars sold extremely fast. The buyer and seller are both happy. Just because someone sold something under retail doesnt mean its crap or low quality. Maybe the seller got a good deal, maybe they were free, maybe he just wanted to clear space ASAP.
Stop making yourself look foolish.
Happy Friday

Wow this thread really backfired.

It's the BZ. There are no backfires. Just good-natured napalm here :). Wade did a good one when he decided to make this a free market. I'm actually looking forward to hearing from Family Guy more and more. :)
I show BZ stuff to friends who don't even smoke cigars and they laugh out loud.
