Re: Am I the only one that....
Next to Padróns, Illusiones, and Fuentes, Tatuajes are some of my favorite NCs. I've got fivers and singles of Pete's stuff 'cause I think he puts out a tasty cigar, though I would not consider myself by any means to some kind of "gushing fanboy." IMO, two of his special releases are probably the best sticks he's released, and two of my favorite cigars as well: the SW Maduro and the Black Label Corona Gorda. The latter, however, is the only limited edition of Pete's that I would aggressively seek out––love those things.
Having said that, I would beg to differ with the OP's assertion that he's in the minority on the net and in the "general cigar world" because he has no Tats. I think Pete's sticks are still considered to be "boutique"––that, as such, makes them a minority in the cigar world in general. There are far more popular smokes out there, both to American and non-American smokers alike. Sure, Tatuajes have gotten their fair share of press from publications like CA, but I think the level of Tatuaje's popularity can be a bit misleading if we only gauge it through forums such as this....
