Saw these pics too...
I spoke to Pete last week at an event here on the Island. Great guy. He's coming out with a new line of premium Nicaraguan puros with only leaf from Esteli region called La Verite, Tatuaje A.O.C., and will carry a premium price tag.
But really sounds delicious, just like almost everything else he does. I also tried his Tat Regios Reserva with the Conn. shade (like La Riqueza) wrapper - very spicy right off the bat - but mellowed into a fantastic smoke! Also had another Tat Black Robusto and IMHO is much more dynamic, complex and flavorful than the CG.
