What size black was it, Rover? My experience has been great with the Petty Lancero, PC, toro, and Figurado. The others, not so great.

The Petit Lancero (1977) is my favorite Black Label, though I do enjoy the little Perla 1952s as well. The Serie JJ are my favorite Pepin blend so far though.

For me the order is;
JJ
Blue Label
Black Label
Can't help but be frustrated by the construction problems though...

Construction problems are merely a state of mind, ignore them and they will let you be. :angl:

Now while I have not experienced any of the above, I did try out a DC #3 a couple of days ago. Maybe not considered one of the elite by many, I found it to be a good smoke. Prior to lighting, the binder had a sweet, molasses flavor to it. It lit easily and stayed that way. A very nice slow burn without over heating the tongue. Good smoke with my morning coffee as I perused the forums. Over all, not a doubt that I would buy another.

sorry, Diamond Crown.
Now that I think of it, don't think I have tried any Don Carlos... guess that's why I used "DC" without clarification.
