Smoking a Tatuaje Noellas. Wondering if it came from a box with some age. Very, very earthy. Not much bite at all.

How is the Origen?
Out of those three sticks I liked it the best for cheaper budget stick, some sweetness and pepper spice. Also had the best aroma. The Trocadero was just eh all the way through, I didn't even fully finish it due to a blow out and its flavor was very one note leathery. The Schizo is better but personally I am not big on 60 RG, but it has a little spicy to it which I am enjoying.
How was it? Just ordered a box yesterday but I haven't had one in the past.
Nice. I look forward to mine arriving
Hope you enjoy em! I think I'd appreciate this one more with a mild coffee. Expresso was too much. The flavor is subtle so pretty sure I'm missing out a bit.Nice. I look forward to mine arriving
Smoking an Illusione MK but its got a black and white band. It's not an Ultra either. Anyone know what the deal is? It's delicious.

La Aurora Puro Vintage 2003.
This is pretty good, definitely glad I"m smoking it in the morning. There is enough flavor, and it's nice flavor, but there just isn't much flavor evolution. This is a HUGE cigar, and to me, a large cigar has to be dynamic or it just gets boring (unless you really love the flavor it's delivering consistently). But it's definitely worth a try for a DR-tobacco lover or a La Aurora fan.

I believe the original line now uses the white and black across the board, as opposed to some (mk, hl) using the gold lettering. This is probably to distinguish the original line from the Epernay, which uses the gold lettering. I think the MJ12 still comes wrapped in foil, though.
I'm not sure exactly when the band change took place, but I got a 5-er of mk about 5 months ago and they have the black lettering. Anything with the gold will be older than that, at least.

I agree, Alex. All the Originals are just so good, and the price is stupid awesome. I think I like the SdT a bit more than the Origen, but they're both superb for the price ... in fact, I can't think of a $2 retail price cigar that could possibly beat these.

Victorias. This was my first ever Tat, and I still like 'em! Best of the Red Label, imvho, though the Angeles is awesome as well.
If you like that size, try the DPG Cuban Classic 1977 (it's the same size, "corona especiales").
