Tatuaje Brown Label gets a face lift

[skullnbones]

I just stumbled across these and figured I'd share. I think they're beautiful and I'm sure they'll go quick

For 2013, Tatuaje's 10th Anniversary, all 6 of the original sizes of the Brown Label, Seleccion de Cazador, are receiving a packaging update. A special "Tatuaje 10" band is being used, the bundle is wrapped in gold foil and each vitola features a covered foot.

Vitolas
Havana Cazadore (6 3/8 x 43) Cazadores - Wet packaged in foil from the factory - very strong cigar!
Unico (6 1/8 x 52) Classic Torpedo (Piramides) showcasing the Cazador blend
Noella (5 1/8 x 42) Classic Petit (Marevas) C.A. rated 92 in October of 2006
Taino (7 5/8 x 49) Double Corona (Prominentes) Save enough time for this one! C.A. rated 93 in January of 2006
Especiale (7 1/2 x 38) Classic old school Lancero (Laguito No.2) C.A. rated 90 in October of 2004
Regio (5 1/2 x 50) Robusto (Gordito) C.A. rated 90 in January of 2006

I kinda got the impression that all of the cigars produced in 2013 will have the 10th anniversary packaging? Might be wrong there, but thats what it sounded like in an interview I watched.

That is exactly right, these will be produced for the rest of the year with the new bands, closed feet, foil wrap and extra sticker/stamp on the box

How soon does stuff that's produced now start hitting the shelves? I feel like this happen to me a little with the Headley Grange release. I saw the press release somewhere around August/September and couldn't find them until late November.

I picked up some 5ers from NHC. Going to try them this weekend.

 

[jimmypa]

I purchased a box of these three weeks or so ago, so they are out there already.

They are hitting the shelves now, from what I was told they are being phased in to shipments coming from Tatuaje. A lot of it also depends on how often the shop orders Tatuaje. Some shops aren't going to double up on inventory to bring these in, so it may take some shops longer to get them than others. It's also possible shops that don't order Tatuaje often may not even get them. They are out there and in the coming months they will be a lot more visible.

Those are beautiful!!

 

[YodisMatt]

Nice touches, I'll see if any hit my B&Ms.

 

[njstone]

Yep, these are NOT limited at all, so there should be plenty. I do think they'll sell a bit faster than the Browns normally do, but I'm sure we'll all be able to get our fill.

I plan to get:
Noellas (possibly 2 boxes)
Especiales
Cazadores
and maybe the TAA '13

 

[Craig Mac]

No TAA 13 this year like the last two years, just a special size of the 10th Anniversary will be produced for the TAA..

 

[SDShark]

Very nice! One more thing to look for!

 

[WhiteWolfIndulgence]

I'm excited. I think I smoked the TAA release back in November of 2012. Was exceptional.
