Tatuaje

[COMB2]

Are they worth the money? I read nothing but great reviews but have yet to bring myself to pony up the money and buy some. What do you guys think and which is your favorite?

Pete is a dick, but his cigars aren't bad. Try the Havana VI for a decently priced Tat to get a feel for the flavor.

They're fantastic, fantastic cigars. If you want a cheaper introduction to the brand, try the Series P (white label). It has mixed medium and long filler tobacco, but the taste/burn/look are indicative of the brand as a whole. They're just about as close to an isom as you can get in a NC.

Tatuaje brown labels are some of the absolute best cigars I've smoked.
I have an RC184, and an Exclusivo Zona Del Este that I'm saving for a "special" occasion.

the few brown label Noellas I've had have been great.. fairly sweet flavor profile.

[Interesting note] The first letters of the first six vitolas in the La Seleccion de Cazador (Brown label) line spell the name Hunter, of one of Pete's dogs[/interesting note]

Exactly my recommendation. The Serie P. My favorite size is the Petit Corona. Excellent, cheap smoke.

The havana VI are really good. Ive got a series P in my cooler that needs torched here soon. Havent had the chance to try any thing else, although Im gona pick up a sampler here soon.

They are tasty. But from reading Pete's posts he comes off as a Grade A jackass.

Thanks for the heads up on that vendor, Jamie.. They will not be getting my business. I have removed reference to them from my post. maybe you could remove it from your quote also?

Still stand by my liking of the Tatuaje brand, though

Done. I like Tat's also......but I think what I have is what I will have.

Nice flavors but over rated IMO. Construction quality! You can unfortunatley find 5-8 cigars per box that are un-smokable. I would stick to the original Don Pepin Blue. This was the first blend presented........and was refused because of the cost.

[BigMacFU]

I've enjoyed tatuaje's, but you can get that same taste profile across the whole Don Pepin set of lines, whatever brand they're under. Most Tat's I find a little pricey, especially given that, although there is high demand, there is plenty of supply. But, you like it and have the money, you'll pay.

I've had some good and bad experiences with the various Tatuajes.......recently, more good than bad. Flavor wise, they've got the familiar Pepin flavor found in many of his smokes. Construction/draw/burn wise, I've had some absolute bombs.....and some that smoked really nice. The lack of consistency kinda bothers me. But to each his or her own. These cigars certainly do have a loyal following so that should say something.

Might wanna look into getting a sampler pack of Tatuaje (i.e. CBid, Holt's, etc). That'll give you a general idea of if it's something you wanna get into.

P.S. That Chuck Norris tattoo visual is disturbing.

Had to chime in condsidering my sig. The Havana VI line is my favorite. Yeah, Pete Johnson should stay off the boards. I've smoked a pile of Tats & Cabs and had one very tight Victorias (6"X38) and one tunneling problem. Guess I've beeen lucky there. Wish I could say the same for some other brand$.
