Who's the real hero?

[TreySC]

After reading another thread about how great Tatuaje is it got me thinking. Who's the real genius behind them? I know Pete Johnson is the one in charge of the company, but if I'm not mistaken all his stuff is made by Peppin. Then you have Crowned Heads most of their stuff also made by Peppin. Peppin's own stuff is generally loved by everyone. Are guys like Johnson and Huber actually doing the blending and then Peppin's factory just makes them? Or do they give have an idea for what they want out of a cigar and Peppin blends it?

Just something I've been thinking about, and still be fairly new to cigars I don't remember seeing this discussed before.

Joking aside, from what little I have read (emphasis on "little"), I believe it to be a collaborative effort. Like a restaurateur might take the idea for a dish to his chef, naming the primary ingredients he wants to use, and possibly explaining their characteristics that he enjoys from other dishes he may have eaten, and then his chef uses his experience and knowledge to try and bring it to fruition.

That makes and kind of what I assumed.

So essentially everyone is just a Pepin whore.

So essentially everyone is just a Pepin whore.

I fail to see a problem with that.

Seems to be the truth...

Undoubtedly the truth.

Undoubtedly the truth.

So, since this is truth, and there is nothing wrong with it,I am now at b&m with Don Pepin. Which would be great except for the two cool guys smoking macanudos and talking about nothing but who can lift more.

All the more reason to smoke at home.
