Tatuaje Petite Cazadores Reserva vs Verocu #5

Trace63 · 05-17-2012, 01:45 PM

Just as the title states, what do you guys prefer and why?
Which one gives off more of the choclatey sweet notes?

neoflex · 05-17-2012, 01:53 PM

Both are great sticks but I personally prefer the Cazadores. I find it has a little more spice and body to it. If it's earlier in the day I will go the opposite and grab a Verocu but both are mainstays in my humidor. They're quick for when you want a smoke in a pinch and don't want to sacrifice flavor in order to do so and both are very affordable so having a good stash of each on hand doesn't break the bank.

I like both of them and if I had to choose one over the other, it would be the Petite Cazadores Reserva.

I'm waiting for RevSmoke to chime in on this.

Personally I think each is good in certain situations

Love em both, but the verocu edges out the win for me.

papichulo · 05-22-2012, 06:45 PM

for me, the PCs. This little stick has some kick.

I enjoy both but the Verocu #5 is the best!!!

kelmac07 · 05-22-2012, 06:56 PM

I run with what turns me on. The Verocu #5

gnbikes · 05-22-2012, 07:54 PM

PC's for me. They have a little more body and I like the sweet finish.

I'm a Petit Caz ho, so you know where my vote goes. Love those tasty little bastids

You know its funny, I can't find my box of PCR's for the life of me!
So i've been smoking the Verocu No. 5's! The first half inch is traditional
Pepin Pepper and spice, but then it transitions into a very smooth and
flavorful (full) medium bodied, medium strength smoke. I've also noticed
that some of them are fuller in body, but its probably a natural variance
in the particular leaves that were used in making the cigars.

So until I can find my box of PCR's my vote is for the No. 5!

Want to know which cigar has both of them beat? The Namakubi!

Really Excel?? I thought the Namakubi, specifically the Papi Chulo, was a huge disappointment.

Trace63 · 05-23-2012, 08:47 AM

Its odd, because I generally really dislike pepin's stuff, yet I enjoy Tatuaje. Going to try both and decide which cab to buy. From what Ive read the PCR might be more for me.

05-23-2012, 10:07 AM

Tough choice but PC for me, really different smokes for different moods personally

I'm with you Mac. I tried a few and just couldn't get into them as much as I wished I could finally find a Room 101 that I could put into rotation as Matt is a great guy that I would love to give some business too. Hoping the San Andreas may live up to the initial reviews for me.

RevSmoke · 05-23-2012, 03:24 PM

I think that the PCR starts out with a couple puffs of bitter, then that disappears and it is a little spice and flavor bomb. A great stick.

The #5 doesn't have the bitter start, and the spice is more muted. The flavors are also more subtle, and a sweetness seems to take the place of the spice.

I like both, for their different flavors. Depending on my mood, I'll pick one over the other. However, both are great smokes.
