Was at a B&M in Texas on vacay last week, saw these sitting in the humi so I brought them home!

That's a good haul. Out of curiosity: Are they that good? I haven't try one but I've seen people go nuts because of them...are they really that good?
Culebra is my personal favorite of all the Black Label vitolas. So in my opinion they are that good

i have one but it doesn't have that seal on the front, does that mean its not a black label just regular release?

I agree with another brother who posted here, the culebra for me is the shining star in the box, however both are rather good!

There have only been 2 so far. The Black Label says "Tatuaje Old Man and the C" and the original release El Triunfador from 2011 says "El Triunfador Old Man and the C". The labels didn't stick worth a shit to either so possible it just came off.

That means the one i got 2 days ago is a original, i might have to get a couple more and stick them away.

The work of art maduro really threw me for a curve, its a great stick that only really comes out during christmas. I was lucky enough to pick a few up this past year.

How does the le elegance smoke compared to the other vitolas?

You won't be disappointed by any of those!
Glad to hear it. Its a funny story. I walked in because I wanted to try Illusione. Decided one regular and one epernay. Looking around, I see baitfish, so I say why not, they're cheap enough, and pick one up. Then I see they still have WOAM, and I say to myself "don't want to wait until next time they're out to try them!" and grab one. So I'm almost ready to check out, and they have a humidor with somebody's "Top 25" cigars in it, so I look, and I see an empty box of Tatuaje Conjou 2012 in there. So now I'm trying to find the Tatuaje humidor that I apparently missed (didn't know they sold Tats!) And the only brown labels they had were Noellas and Conjou 2012, so I grabbed one of the last Noellas. And I had to grab the black lance because you don't see black label every day! They had a bunch of the other Pete Johnson brands, but I figured I did enough damage to my wallet, so I checked out with six cigars instead of the two I came in for. Gonna have to restrain myself since the humi is getting close to full.

Glad you liked the WOAM, I really like natural Hemmingways, and enjoyed the SS Maduro I had, so I figured this was a safe buy. Haven't had a natural work of art yet though. I have no idea how the le elegance smokes, I haven't smoked it yet, and when I do, it will be my first Epernay. Its 5 3/4 x 40, so it should just smoke like a short lancero.
