Had my first Tatuaje thanks to my newbie sampler trade with greg (sauzatime).

I had some time yesterday afternoon and it wasn't too hot yet around noon so I figured it would be a good time for a nice little smoke and I pulled out the Verocu #9.

Had and earthy, leathery smell to it and upon light, that's exactly what I got. Earthy, with what seemed to be a leathery backbone to it.

That stayed with me for about the first half. As the second half began, I started picking up a bit of a peppery spice which grew as I worked into the final third of it.

Definitely a good little smoke. Stronger than I was expecting, and I had a small nic buzz going, but that could just be because I hadn't smoked in a few days. I really enjoyed the leather and pepper notes, especially in that final third.

Definitely turned my head towards Tats which so many of you seem to enjoy. I still have another Tatuaje (brown label conoju) in the humi that I might have to check out soon.


(If this needs to be merged with the plethora of other "First tat" threads, that's cool, I understand. :))

My first Tat was the Verocu Red Tubo, great cigar. Sadly, the rest of the Tats I've tried have not been as good. I must say though, they were some of the cheaper one's, specifically the Havana and El Truinfador lines. I have some higher end Tats in the humi waiting to be lit up (Miami, Black Tubo, Drac, and Boris), hopefully they will be as good, if not better, than the Verocu. I have heard that the Boris is his best yet, so, we will see.

My first was VI Nobles and then went to a J 21 Reserva. *shudder*

I think going from red to brown label and then special releases is a good way to go. I tried smoking a white label after a Miami and it was.....difficult. I almost wished I would have smoked a white label first. I was a new, what did I know from Tatuaje? :)

Like ninjafox said, prepare yourself! :)
