Tatuaje Black Petite Lancero

[scoot]

It looks like the regular production has hit B&Ms. I picked up a box and got kicked a few freebies at my local. I never really sought them out in any of the previous releases, but now that they will be more readily available I jumped on them. Has anyone else spotted these? I'm going to try and smoke one tonight.

I smoked one Sunday night and I liked it! It was much better than the black tubos.

I had one last week and really enjoyed it! Mine was a loose draw and burned way too fast, but the flavor was top-notch!

It is a good little stick. I have not seen it yet, but hope it has a fair price.

I grabbed the box+3 free for 205 and change including tax. I think that the msrp on singles is around 8.50. These can definitely be had at msrp from reputable shops.

I find the lanceros from Tat to be a quick smoke. I smoked a Tat Sodo Blend(made for a local B&M) and it wasn't a full length lancero, but it burned really quick. Kind of kept me away from smoking anything lancero size from Tat cuz it sounds like they burn too quickly.

It was a great cigar, just would have liked it to last longer.

These have been out for awhile now. I've loaded up at first, but since they will be regular production, I won't worry too much about them. Very tasty and powerful, it is very much like the CG and robustos, and definitely better than the tubos.

Has anyone gotten to try the new Tat exclusive for TAA?

Got a box of the regular release when they were released a couple months ago, one of my favorite Tatuaje sticks for sure! $205 w/ tax is a good price, I believe I paid $190 shipped for mine (no taxes) so sounds right along the lines of MSRP and not an inflated price.

I had one last week.

Like Beagle said they have been out for a couple months now. I would know as these are one of my favorites right now and I am a downright ho for them. Best black release since the original jar release in my opinion. So much so that after being gifted one of the pre-releases I immediately started hunting them down. I am just glad they are now a regular production stick.

It seems I'm behind the times a bit.

I have been thinking about trying a few of these. Not sure about buying a box at this point, though. I hear good things and prefer this size...

Oh that was the wrong thing to say with the herf coming up....

After burning through a fiver of the initial release (O.R whatever you want to call it) I am waiting on a box to ship once back-order shows up.

Take em out of the box. The box smells like laquer.

It's not laquer your smelling. The box was made from MDF and sleeved with a Spanish cedar liner. The smell your getting is from the MDF and should have no ill effect on your sticks. I smelled a box at a shop where they removed the sticks from the foil and the MDF actually ended up soaking up the tobacco smell and the box no longer smelled like the MDF. If your storing for long term I would keep the sticks in the foil.
To be honest when I first got my box I removed the sticks too until I found out where that unique smell was coming from.

Yes, I have noticed this as well. I thought I was the only one

Started another thread on the box smell but to tie it into this, could it be that the boxes have something to do with when they were rolled? Who knows but if the current batch of the blacks is really different than what was first released I am officially done with this brand. OR this OR that with no way to tell what you have unless you buy and smoke them. My plan was to keep them sealed but I am going to crack the bundle open and compare for myself. I am seeing a WTB thread "Tatuaje Black Stinky/Non-Stinky Box"

I believe that the OR Petite Lanceros have the closed foot and the new ones do not. There was a thread on here that someone stated that is how you can tell apart the OR from the others. Hope this helps.

I really like this tasty little cigar, so I purchased a box.
