Up next for me is researching the offerings and working my way through Tatuaje and Illusione. I've had a handful from both but I forget what's what and there seems to be a lot of redundancy throughout.
I'm with you on the tats never tried em or even paid attention till I joined here. Not sure where to start with them either but I did just get one from a brother. Would be good to get some suggestions and feedback on those too
With Tat stuff for me the biggest factor is availability when it comes to trying this stuff. Anybody can tell you to go smoke a Pork Tenderloin, a Barclay Rex, or a Boris. But that stuff isn't easy to find nor do you need to smoke this super HTF stuff to get a feel for what Pete is all about when it comes to making quality cigars. Unlike a lot of other boutique brands there is a lot to like about the Tat regular production sticks. My advice would be to try to following:
1. Tat Black Old Man and the C There are still coffins floating around for $30 and I think these are fantastic smokes.
2. Tat Black Petite Lanceros Originally was limited with a closed foot but are now regular production stick and they are amazing. I've found them around for $6 a stick.
3. Tat 7th Capa Especial Simply fantastic and one of my go to cigars. Can be found for about $6 a pop as well.
4. Tat Lil Monsters These are technically LE sticks but you can find them on the forum here quite often and people want retail or sometimes less. Look for a box between $60-$75
5. Tat Cojonu 2012 I've only had one but I enjoyed it much more that previous releases. Can be had for about $9 a stick with some looking.
If you're going to grab some I would grab the Old Man and the C's while you still can then the Lil Monsters. The rest will be around for a bit. I'm sure plenty of others could chime in on sticks to try.
