Figured a thread about sparking something for the first time might be cool.  So, I smoked my first [glow=red,2,300]Don Peppin JJ the other day. [/glow] It was gifted to me by a fellow CF'r.  Really enjoyed it.  nice spicy cigar.  That cigar led me to the Black label which i didn't enjoy as much.  My local tobacconist was surprised by that/  Looks like i am going against the norm in the shop by liking the JJ over the black label.

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

I am with you on that!!  I do prefer the JJ's over the black label's. JJ's just seem more refined.    :nana:

I'll have to agree with Land Rover on that...  The JJ I found was very very good and the black was o.k. I didn't hate just thought the JJ was quite a bit better... ;D

I really like this line. Not as spicy as the blue or black bands. I'm curious to see how these age.

Once my ship sails in I'll have room to do that...  Hell I'll put a few hundred boxes of various goodies down for a long nap...  That'll be the napping room meanwhile I'll have the smoke now room :bigup:
