Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

Found them to be one dimensional and not worth the money.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

I agree with the 1-dimensional, but at around 5 bucks this is a decent cigar.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

I can't keep up with these either. I like Pete's cigars, but for the price, I feel there's better value to be found in cigars (with greater complexity) produced on a particular island. :)

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

I've smoked both and they aren't bad for the price.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

Not a big fan of these. I tried one a few days ago and it did not do it for me. For a cheaper PJ cigar I would hit the Series P. Still, it was a quality made smoke, just not my cup of tea.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

The P is now discontinued, Ambos Mundos replaced them.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

The p definately cheapened the tatuaje name... probably a very good move for the PJ marketing machine:)

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

When I can buy 601 Habanos and DPG Black at roughly $4 a stick, Ambos Mundo are actually a pretty bad buy in my book.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

I was looking forward to these for sure what with the EcSu wrapper, but when Cubao, 601, and some of the DPG stuff coming in under 4.00 a stick through some of the deals available, they don't seem worth it.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

The P series was discontinued?

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

Discontinued? I will have to go out and get some of these.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

Yes.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

If I could get those cigars at that price regularly I would agree with you.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

ahhhh but you can.... I've said it here before, but yes its at Thompson Cigar, which will as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow start the flaming about the companies questionable practices in grave detail..... annoying sales calls, extra catalogs, screwed up orders, murdered mothers etc... but I did this very order 3 times and HAD NO ISSUES (back when it was 59.00 for 4 5 packs). All the 601 lines POST SCHIP for 4.00 a pop is damn good. Yeah, its a gamble, but if you give them a BS phone number, you never hear from them. Someone will tell you your nuts if you go for it, even with all that said. My :2

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

The no. 1 just got a 90 in the other CA.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

So it is true. I heard someone at the shop say that. Makes sense. Is this a short filler medium filler stick also then? I remember thinking it was better than a P.

While I agree with the CC Black being a better deal at 4.00 thats not B&M price. It is nice to support the B&M sometimes. I think the 601 red is a bad stick and will leave it at that.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

I had a couple of the A.M. in the sumatra variety when they first came out and they were awesome. I tried some a couple weeks ago, and they were so-so. This is a long filler smoke, made with grade B & C tobaccos. IMO, there are much better Pepin-made budget smokes...I really like the Tabacos Baez Serie SF.

Re: Ambos Mundos - Tatuaje
 

well, I must say I wasn't disappointed by the Ambos Mundos I smoked on Friday. It was pretty much what I expected. Excellent flavor/ burn, not much complexity, but totally worth my $5.00.

The taste was similar to a Padron, only better. Very smooth and sweet with a little cocoa. while not as good as a '64 obviously, I would buy these hands down over the Padron thousand line.

It's true that there are better deals to be had from a certain island, but if you're at the local b&m and just looking to pick up a good solid smoke for less than $6.00, I'd definitely recommend trying an Ambos Mundos.
