Help with my first Tatauaje - Page 2

11-07-2010, 10:32 PM

I love the Tatuaje Black Tubos, some love em, some hate em, but they are the best that I've had out of the Tatuaje line, but I've only had the Havana VI, and the Cojonu 2003, along with a few brown labels that I don't know what kind they were.

I also think Pete's other blends are definately a try, the El Truinfador is my favorite cigar I've had out of everything, and the Cabaiguan is another favorite, especially in Maduro

You never know until you try them. Everyone's palate is different and you might really dig something out of the line that isn't popular with others.

Some of my favorites off the top of my head were
Red Label: Victoria, Angel
Brown Label: Especiale, Noellas
Cabaiguan: Coronas Extra, Petite Cabaiguan
Cabaiguan Guapos: Guapos Junior- Petite Corona Natural
Reserva: J21
La Riqueza: No.1 Lonsdale, No.5 Petite Corona
OR east/west regionals

If you want to try some Tats without spending a lot, look for the new Petit Cazadores Reserva and the Verocu #5. They are both great little cigars for around $4+ and will give you the chance to taste the broadleaf wrappers and the popular red label verocu line at half the cost of the bigger cigars.

I know New Havana Cigars has 5ers for sale, but if you don't find any singles anywhere, you should email NHC to see if he could sell you a small sampler.

So many Tats, so little time.

Wharf Rat · 11-08-2010, 05:30 AM

For my money, I prefer the red label (Havana VI) over the brown.

quantim0 · 11-08-2010, 10:36 AM

For me, the best of the regular production brown labels is the new 7th. My favorite viola and I think he best in the brown label.

Thanks for all the help. It'll prob a little while until budget allows, but I now have a good jumping off point.

zappaFREAK · 11-08-2010, 01:36 PM

Thanks for this post. Had the same questions myself!!!

bigliver · 11-08-2010, 11:17 PM

7th, J21, Petite Caz, all good, as are most of the rest of the Tats of course.

wayner123 · 11-09-2010, 09:47 AM

The majority of Tat's are not cheap when compared to say General cigars. But they are imo much more tasty. I would say the best representation of Tatuaje is the J21. I have had most every Tat and that is the one that I associate with Tat's.

ujponds · 03-04-2011, 12:49 PM

Thought I would give an update.

I finally picked up a few 5ers and a sampler. I've so far tried the El Triunfador and Red. Both were on the mild to medium side but full of flavor. . . I think I am starting to get the hype.

Every single one of those is a fav smoke of mine

Devanmc · 03-04-2011, 02:06 PM

mmm yummyness, i need to try those sticks. never had

Sauer Grapes · 03-04-2011, 02:24 PM

Nice selection there. I'm partial to the Cabaiguan. I like his other stuff fine, but nothing has been as consistent as the Cabs.

Had a brown label PC just a couple days ago that I almost set down. I'm glad I didn't because it became OK after an inch or so, but it didn't impress me at all, not to mention the HUGE stem that was "pigtailed" right under where I cut the cap.

That's next on the chopping block.

If I can make a suggestion, try using a punch on the white label instead of a cutter. The first I smoked with a cut, and I got tobacco bits in my mouth for the entire smoke (I actually put it down half way because of it)

68TriShiled suggest using a punch and the next one I had was a completely different smoke. Very good for a $3-$4 cigar

Thanks for the advice, it will be punched.
