Also, for the CC smoker, Tatuajes are on the upper end of the price scale for regular release items. There are a lot of really good CCs that are cheaper. So taken together, I can see why some people have been turned off by them. For me, they are my favorite NC cigars and I will continue to buy them because I like to smoke them. I try not to obsess over the limited stuff as I have had pretty good luck obtaining most of the releases. Smoke what you like. ![]() ![]() |

I suspected it was the Drac fiasco, but I just don't understand why people act like Pete Johnson killed their puppy because that release fell through. I think it's funny just how emotional some people got about that release and the frenzy it stirred up when it hit some snags. It was like watching grown men devolve into bunch of 13 year old Hanna Montana fans. The bitterness I see in posts by people who used to swear by Tatuaje and grew jaded because a couple of special releases didn't live up to the hype they'd created for themselves makes me think that maybe they only ever liked the IDEA of Tatuaje cigars in the first place. If they had really liked the product, it wouldn't have mattered that the Drac fell flat. From what I've heard, the Boris made up for it. God knows how many tent poles we Habanophiles have to throw out into the lake

I really like alot of Pete's stuff, but the Black Tubo pissed in my Post Toasties for sure. I smoked a few right after they were released & thought that they had alot of promise, & would probably smoke better after they settle down & acclimate.... Well, I smoked one not quite a week ago that's been stored in my humi that's in the low 60 rh range, & even let it drybox about a day before I smoked it. I had to relight the frickin' thing like 73 times times... I haven't been that pissed about a cigar in quite some time.

Haven't had one, even though I've had ample opportunity to purchase one.
I think two years ago I would have gone APE POOP over the opportunity to buy a really strong nic puro. It's amazing what expanding my taste horizons did to my palate, and I have only the PSHC to blame! ![]() DISCLAIMER: No matter what anyone says... Always smoke what you like.

I like the unique flavor that only the black gives...but these tubos have almost a paint thinner funkiness going on...I wonder if it has anything to do with the tubes? I have only smoked 2.

I smoked my only single tonight. It certainly wasn't the best Tatuaje product I've ever had and I wouldn't shell out the coin for more, but I enjoyed it enough to say it didn't suck. It was full bodied with some nice woody flavors and a some good spice in the nose, and was very smooth until the last third, when the flavors started getting a little too pungent. I purged and recut and that didn't help, so I just stubbed it out with a good two inches to go. Honestly, I think the regular brown labels are far better than these.
