Haven't tried the Ovation line yet, have you smoked any of those?

I've only smoked the San Cristobal Elegancia in the 60 rg. I don't smoke many CT wrapped smokes, but I'd have no problem smoking these. I need to try some smaller rg's of this cigar......

You are absolutely right Bob! I can't think of a DPG that I haven't enjoyed. They are by far one of my favorite blenders. As I said, thoroughly enjoy the San Cristobal line. And his Blue label... 😲😲.
There was another thread asking if you had to smoke one cigar blend what would it be. We'll if I had to choose one blender, I think it would be a toss up between DPG, AJF & Fuente.

Dave, I'm with you. CT's are probably my least smoked wrapper. But that Elegancia!?!? I'll smoke one any day any time. The Robusto is what I typically smoke.

My wife finally graduated college Friday and this was the celebration smoke I'd been saving, it was amazing.

With you on not smoking a lot of Connecticut wrapped cigar...tho pretty much anything blended by Pepin is fine,s'long as he includes the merest whiff of pepper.
Like some Sumatra, Habano wrapped smoke I do.
Smokin Monkey's happy to smoke most any size cigars he can filch from your humidor, but expect you'll have noticed his sweet Lil Girlfriend really jumps on the larger sizes.
Know you must be busy right now, but maybe you can find some time to help those two practice singing Christmas Carols.
They do so enjoy going from house to house Carolling on Christmas eve. Certainly all in your neighborhood will on Christmas Morn be around to let you know much they enjoyed the Carolling and to express their appreciation to you for having sent that pair to entertain them.
Hope you shall post a video of the pair in their snowsuits.

Brian, I'd almost certainly select Pepin if forced to choose one blender...think Hirochi Robiana might be in the mix if I could pick a few rather than only one.
Have only smoked the one line of Robiana's those HRs are quite complex and flavourful. Luckily we do have several first rate makers and don't have to go with just one blender.

That HR is a great smoke isn't it!?!?
Too bad they're so pricey or it would be a staple in my humi.
