Tatuaje Black

MiamiE · 10-17-2010, 07:55 AM

Yesterday I picked up a box of Tat blacks at a Pete Johnson event. Really only wanted the black labels because they are damn tasty. Are these only given away when you purchase a box at an event? I want more. Also the shop I was at had the Face dress box and would not sell it. They had one Face in a 10-12 cigar Tatuaje sampler pack they were trying to sell for $120. BS if you ask me but I figured this would start to happen. If anyone knows where I can find more of those three cigar sampler packs please let me know!

So far as I have found the 3 pack is an event box purchase freebie only

That is correct...the only way to get the new Black Label 3 pack (which contains the new CG with the cut foot, the new Robusto with the cut foot and the Petite Robusto) is to buy a box at a Tatuaje event Pete is at, or to have one handed to sent to you by Pete himself...

BTW, while the sizes of the Black label Robusto and Corona Gorda are the same as were released in the past (the CG was released in the jar, and the Robusto was always a Event give away vitola only), the OR of those two vitolas had a wrapped foot, so Pete cut the feet on the new release, so people would be able to distinguish them...

Here is a better photo...From left to Right: Robusto, Petite Robusto and Corona Gorda:

Hope that helps!

I want more of them 3 packs!

I got one recently myself. I will be buying more boxes from Pete events to score more in the future. The real black blend (tubo blend is slightly different) is by far my favorite cigar.

The tubo blend is VERY different, at least in tasting...they taste almost nothing like the CG or the Robusto, IMHO...

Go for the smaller Vitolas in the Black label blend...the smaller, the better

That makes me feel so much better! I've only ever gotten my hands on the tubos and smoke one that I decided tasted like cat piss. I was confused as to why people like them so much! Buuut makes sense now, and for the record I've heard the tubos have rested well but every time I look at them in my humi I think of my neighbors cat

MiamiE · 10-17-2010, 11:08 AM

Which tubo do you all find to be the best? I thought the black tubos were considered best so I chose them.

Out of the Tat Tubos (Red Label and Black Label), I like the Red the best...

Honestly, taken on it's own, the Black Label Tubo is not a bad cigar by any means...I just does not come close to standing up against the OR CG or Robusto...

I have smoked every Tat Black Label vitola there is (in production), and it seems to me that the Blend that is used in the Blacks is MUCH better suited for smaller RGs...

Hope that helps!

Hey was it the same dude there that wouldn't sell the dress box that we were talking about?

MiamiE · 10-17-2010, 11:15 AM

Some big fat dude that works there wouldn't sell me the damn box. Then there was the jersey shore owner as well, but he wasn't that bad. I just hate when people talk to you like you have no idea about anything.

EricF · 10-17-2010, 11:17 AM

The fat dude is the one i was talking about. His mom owns the store!

Patrick B · 10-17-2010, 12:41 PM

Preach it, brother Brooks! You are SPOT ON in this thread.

boonedoggle · 10-17-2010, 12:57 PM

I was perplexed when I asked the worker at a local BM if they were going to get any Tatuaje in in the near future. He gave me a deer in the head lights look. He responded with a "probably not" like I didn't know what I was talking about. I think he though I was talking about Tatiana cigars. bleh

Sweet. More three packs!

Patrick B · 10-17-2010, 08:42 PM

I wish we had events and good stores around here.....Bah I need to move.

Patrick B · 10-19-2010, 04:32 AM

Sad news, fellas. I bought a black 2005 Explorer last night, and knowing I was probably leaving the dealership with it I broke open my new 3 pack and took the robusto with me to celebrate the new ride. I lit it up before I even pulled out of the lot expecting to taste the best blended cigar ever, in my opinion. It was unfortunately very much like the black tubo. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not original Tat black CG or Robusto good. God I hope this changes when they sit a little longer.

I'm sorry to hear that...

Did you smoke the Robusto out of the Three pack, or the PR?
