The sampler on that link offers a good chance to try a few lines. Was going to be my suggestion as well. :tu

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

If you want to try some Tats without spending a lot, look for the new Petit Cazadores Reserva and the Verocu #5. They are both great little cigars for around $4+ and will give you the chance to taste the broadleaf wrappers and the popular red label verocu line at half the cost of the bigger cigars.

I know New Havana Cigars has 5ers for sale, but if you don't find any singles anywhere, you should email NHC to see if he could sell you a small sampler.

So many Tats, so little time.

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

For my money, I prefer the red label (Havana VI) over the brown.

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

For me, the best of the regular production brown labels is the new 7th. My favorite viola and I think he best in the brown label.

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

Thanks for all the help. It'll prob a little while until budget allows, but I now have a good jumping off point.

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

Thanks for this post. Had the same questions myself!!!

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

If you like full bodied, full flavored cigars, don't get a JJ. They are very mild.

Reserva J21 :tu

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

7th, J21, Petite Caz, all good, as are most of the rest of the Tats of course.

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

The majority of Tat's are not cheap when compared to say General cigars. But they are imo much more tasty. I would say the best representation of Tatuaje is the J21. I have had most every Tat and that is the one that I associate with Tat's.

Thought I would give an update.

I finally picked up a few 5ers and a sampler. I've so far tried the El Triunfador and Red. Both were on the mild to medium side but full of flavor. . . I think I am starting to get the hype.

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

yums!

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

Every single one of those is a fav smoke of mine :tu

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

Start with a good ole brown label. any will do, but my favorites are the Noella and the Especiale. And grab a red label too, I prefer the Victorias.

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

mmm yummyness, i need to try those sticks. never had

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

Nice selection there. I'm partial to the Cabaiguan. I like his other stuff fine, but nothing has been as consistent as the Cabs.

Had a brown label PC just a couple days ago that I almost set down. I'm glad I didn't because it became OK after an inch or so, but it didn't impress me at all, not to mention the HUGE stem that was "pigtailed" right under where I cut the cap.

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

That's next on the chopping block.:tu

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

I love the El Triunfador...need to get some more:dr:dr

Re: Help with my first Tatauaje
 

If I can make a suggestion, try using a punch on the white label instead of a cutter. The first I smoked with a cut, and I got tobacco bits in my mouth for the entire smoke (I actually put it down half way because of it)

68TriShiled suggest using a punch and the next one I had was a completely different smoke. Very good for a $3-$4 cigar :tu
