Padron Family Reserve

I've got a special cigar saved for when the Royals win the World Series. Sadly I'll be turned to ash before it will.

LMAO!! Not because it is rare but because the one I tried to fire up did not smoke at all I ended up throwing it away :(.

That's because you have to cut both ends of the bat you knucklehead! ;)

Mets were 7th in the league in attendance, even with that small ass stadium. The Mets also didn't come even close to any loss record, Mr. Isy.
So as I said, leave that Pepin bat for some game against the Orioles or Blue Jays next year

Hey, no shit talking about my Blue Jays!
 
I think there's some cardboard or some other non-tobacco, structurally-supportive substance in the Pepin bats.
 
When I was in Pepin's storefront a few months ago, I asked about the bats, pipes, etc., and the proprietor told me that they weren't for smoking and that there was some cardboard (or something similar) in it for structural rigidity.

It's possible that he was talking about the pipes, but I'm pretty sure he claimed that the bats were reinforced. I was surprised to hear that since I also feel like I recall reading accounts of people smoking both of them around here someplace.

For what it's worth, the proprietor didn't seem to know much about the Tatuajes that were on the shelf in front of us (I forget what I asked him, but by no means was it a stumper of any sort), so perhaps he was mistaken or misinformed on several dimensions.

Sorry for the ambiguity and any resulting doubt. I'd recommend going ahead and firing it up if your Yankees win it all--to hell with the possibility of cardboard. After all, how many times are the Yankees going to win the World Series this year?

Besides, it's just like smoking a bunch of rolling papers all at once...

I do believe that I heard that he will roll 1 while at the event. He doesn't use anything but tobacco either.

Thanks for your assessment Los....being that you're a Mets fan, and all. I didn't expect different, though....being that the Mets lost a record number of games this season. Citi Field's record attendance for the year was for a bridal show! LOL!

Hmmm... what record would that be?

Didn't they lose about 100 games this season?

92, not anywhere close to the most for the most amonst teams this year, let alone anything in the record books.

After speaking with the BOTL who gave me this smoke, he confirmed that it was rolled in front of his eyes in Miami at Don Pepin's. No cardboard was used. Smoking it now and will soon post a review. :)
 
I've seen video of Pepin rolling both, and he added no cardboard. Not to say that he never does.

Just that it is not a necessity. I would be curious if he was emulating one of his blends, or if it was just whatever

tobacco he had nearby.
 
Right on. Just passing on what some guy in the shop told me, but again, he hardly seemed to be a definitively knowledgeable source of information.
 
I saw the bat rolled before my eyes in Miami and no cardboard was used and they tell you how to smoke it. Supposedly it is a tweaked Blue label blend although I have heard it is more of a Black label profile. This is intersesting because the Pepin cigar that was handrolled in NOLA was supposed to be a tweaked Blue label with a My Father wrapper. I enjoyed that cigar a lot but felt it was fuller than the Blue label. Could it have been the wrapper, the tweaked blend, or different tobacco or all of the above? I only smoked the one so it is hard to say. Although they should put those smokes out as after 2 months in the humi it was good.
