Don Pepin Vintage Edition Petit Robusto is a compact 4 1/2 x 50 cigar made to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Don Pepin Garcia brand. The “Vintage” in the name refers to its retro style band, based on one found on one of Don Pepin’s early cigars, and not to the age of the tobacco. My Father released the line in 2023 and made it regular production in 2024, when the Petit Robusto joined it.
The cigar is handmade in Nicaragua at the My Father Cigars facility. A Nicaraguan grown Corojo 99 wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. The strength is medium to full. Expect cedar, black pepper, toasted bread and cream, along with walnut, oak and a note of sweetness. Cigar Aficionado scored the Petit Robusto 90 points.
The Petit Robusto is the smallest size of the five in the line. It holds the spicy, earthy, woody character of the blend in a shorter smoke, with an even draw and burn. Plan on roughly 25 to 45 minutes, depending on pace. The size fits a morning, a break in the afternoon or a short evening smoke.
This cigar suits smokers who enjoy full flavoured Nicaraguan puros and like a Corojo 99 wrapper. It is also an easy way to try the Vintage Edition without committing to a larger vitola.
