Pepin was asked to blend the perfect cigar in his head.
He said it would be a combination of cuban-seed tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and Cuba. "The wrapper would be from Cuba. The binder leaves would be from Nicaragua. For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio."
"That cigar would score 100 points" says Pepin
