Go pick up a pair of reds and pair of browns (I recommend the J21s if they carry them) and taste them for yourself.

I found the Artistas (torpedos) for the red and J21's (robusto, roughly) for the browns to be my favorite. The latter, I would place, if not in the same category, at least very, VERY close to Ashton VSGs and Padron 40th's in terms of overall tasty goodness.

I found La Requiza to be the least impressive of the higher end Tatuaje blends (it was rather bitter to my taste buds, but I'm not sure if the pair I tried was just duds or not). I would probably pick the red label before the La Requiza. If I had to order them:

Brown label, Cabaiguan, Red label and then in a distant fourth La Requiza. I don't know what the black labels are like since I've never been lucky enough to find one. And I haven't bothered with the white label.
