Tatuaje

[Smoky Contemplation]

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$.

I've had 601 black label and didn't like it. Also had a Pepin Cuban Classic just 2 days ago. It's wasn't great but not bad

I really like 'em

Had a box of Noellas that was excellent. Others I've just bought singles and they are pretty decent. They all cost too much and I don't make a habit of buying them.

Pepin brands I like - Padilla I've had are all good, especially 8/11's, but I think they're over-priced as well. The Cabiguan Guapo is a pretty damn good cigar too, although the wrapper is delicate - have to be so careful with it.

I've had two Cabiguan Guapos and I believe I might be the only person in the world who doesn't care for them. To me it was boring. It tasted like tobacco. Boring tobacco. I doubt I'll give it another try for the price.
