I have a bone to pick with Tatuaje

[nathan79]

I knew that would get your attention:headroll: Of course I am a member here and this is 100% sarcasm- so here is the real story. My girlfriend had a doctors appointment in a town an hour and a half away so I picked two sticks to burn, one for the way there, one for the way back. The first was a Tat noella gifted to me by Jolietfire. What an amazing smoke- I finished it right before the door to the doctors office. The second was my standby never let me down, always good, never dissapoints Padron 000. And heres were I get the nerve to say I have a bone to pick with Tats- they ruined my favorite cigar. That Noella was so full of flavor an hour later the Padron was like smoking cardboard:crytears: My taste buds were overlaoded, the Padron was virtually flavorless. Since then I have enjoyed every Padron I fired up. My solution to the problem- well I think you know what my next box purchase will be:devil:

 

[unfairtoast]

Padrons?

 

[openendstraight]

to fix part of your problem, send the rest of your Padron to me.

Seems that Tat's have a way of messing with people that way. The other day I figured I'd take the extra long way home from work to smoke a Tat Angeles. That cigar was so damn good, I had to stop on the side of the road and give it my undivided attention. To make a long story short, I was an hour and fifteen minutes late getting home.

My wife was so p'o'ed. I showed her the nub as evidence of the adventure. All she said was "That's nice", and walked away from me. All the time, I'm thinking to myself "Yes, it was".

Thanks Pete and keep making them great.

 

[Angry Bill]

And so it begins for yet another poor unsuspecting cigar lover!

 

[rick12string]

We all feel your pain.

I'm probably the only one hear who thinks the Tat's are overrated. I have been underwhelmed by 90% of them, I find them very one dimensional. I'd take a Padron 2000 or 3000, Nat or Maddie over these and for the $$ Tat's cost a CC would beat them badly.

 

[hdroadglide]

there are just some cigars that lose when they are smoked after certain sticks. some can hold their own, even if they are milder, by having good flavor. but it is hard to follow a noella!

 

[Moro]

I say don't give up on those x000 Series. They are a great cigar and well priced as well. Just smoke them the other way next time.

While I disagree with your opinion, I think it's cool that you HAVE that opinion. It's perfectly normal that you (or any other person) wouldn't care for them. I mean, everyone's got different flavor preferences, so it's impossible for the same cigar to please everyone. Besides, I doubt that's Pete's goal, anyways.

...and for the $$ Tat's cost a CC would beat them badly.

Not *THAT* is something I totally agree with.

I love Tats, I really do. Hell I bet 80%+ of my domestic cigars are Tats. I smoke the shit outta them.

But for every Tat vitola there is, I could probably name a CC that is the same size, costs less, and tastes better.

It's just a shame they're, you know, illegal and stuff here. :wink:

You will respect my authoritiiii (in my best Cartman voice):hysterica Really though variety is the spice of life and think how boring it would be if all liked the same things.

And I could also name one that is worse and are you sure about them being illegal. I thought my days of smoking illegal weeds were behind me I guess I'd better toss out those 2 cc's I've got:thumbsup:

You also didn't know that the crack I gave you to try has a year of age on it!

 

[nathan79]

I didnt know about the year of rest. That was if not the best one of the best sticks I have tried. Thank you again for the very generous gift. Don't worry Moro I cant see myself giving up on the xooo series.

 

[Bull Moose]

I don't know about you guys but to this day I can't help but look at a padron (any padron really) and think "This is how a cigar should be". From the smell to the taste and construction I know that this is the one brand I can always count on when I'm not feeling like venturing out into new territory.

I don't know if overrated is a fair statement as much as "I prefer many cigars to a Tatuaje as they just don't fit my flavor profile." That's the cool thing about cigars, no matter what you like, I like, the next guy likes...we're all right. Coke/Pepsi. For the record, I'd rather drink a warm flat Coke than a cold Pepsi any day.

[Benzopyrene]

I just had to upgrade my padrons to the annis and problem solved!

Hahaha......some things are just worth the "wrath".....

Not sure why, but I think that sums up this discussion rather neatly.....
