Which Tatuaje's?

[Mikenice81]

I love the petite Cazadores and petite reserva. They are small little 32x4.5" smokes, but they pack a great experience in that small package.

I tend to be more into smaller ring gauges though. I think 40 - 46 is the perfect range.

Seems to be a common theme with the petites being mentioned.. I tend to like 46 to 50 RG but sometimes a small quick smoke is very nice to have. Thanks

The Reserva Nicaraguan 7ths are a good 46 gauge corona. The Havana VI a good medium body Robusto.

I personally like the Faustos.
Havana VI is always a good one too.

The PCR is a definite must try. A lot of other good suggestions here as well.

Lots of replies here and kind of hard to go wrong with anything. However, I would add in the Black Corona Gordas. They released about a year ago and there are not many left in inventory. They are smoking beautifully now so I would grab some if you can find them at your local B&M!!!

I'd second the black CGs. Famous currently has them in stock for $142 a jar (with code) which as good a price as you will find. I'd also recommend the 7th Capa Especial, nobody does Sumatra quite like Tatuaje. If you don't have the money to shell out on a jar the Tat black petite lance is excellent. The final choice I'd recommend is the brown label Belle Encre. The size really seems to add something to brown label and I do really like them. That latter 3 choices are all available at small batch and you can grab them all for a little under $110 for 15 excellent cigars. Let us know what you pick up and try out.

^I second the Belle Encre. That one blew me away.

 

[THEMISCHMAN]

Belle Encre = great cigar. The Brown Labels are always a winner in my book and I might have to grab another jar of the Black CG.

Start with the Seleccion De Cazador which has the small brown band this is the origins of the tatuaje brand the Havanna Cazadores is my personal favorite.

I saw a video where Pete said a Cuban cazadore was his inspiration for the first Tatuajes. I guess that explains why he makes such great small smokes.

Thanks for the recommendation. I need to compile a list of all of these. Will definitely let you know what I try.

So, picked up one of these at the local B&M. Thanks @A Huge Nerd for the recommendation since I'm on a budget. Nice to meet you as well.

As I go through the list I'll start picking more up next month. Some mighty fine BOTL were gracious enough to send some over stock to me as well. I'll check in when those arrive and I give them a try! Thanks all for the Recommendations!

 

[A Huge Nerd]

Nice to meet you too, brother. Stop in again sometime and we'll enjoy a cigar.

I know I'm late to the party, but the Tatuaje TAA 2014's were pretty good. And recently picked up a box of the 2015's. I have yet to really get into tatuaje's as my local B&M is slowly getting them in stock. I did try the Tatuaje Havana VI's and that is a great, reasonable smoke, roughly $9 or $10 here on Long Island, depending on where you can find them. I haven't been to my local in a few months since it's summer and too nice out to sit inside and smoke. Unless it's raining, cold or snowing.

So are the 2014's a different blend than the 2015s? Sort of like the Las Calaveras from CH?

I believe so?? I have yet to really research how they worked it all out in regards to blends. I want to say there's a different blend of the tobaccos, but I don't want to throw out wrong information about them to you either. Maybe someone can help us out with it....

A friend of mine has the collection dating back quite a few years from Tatuaje TAA's. I think every year, he gets a box or two for himself when they're released.

Got it. I have a 2014 and soon a 2015 thanks to some awesome BOTLs. Can't wait to try them.

I am trying to do the same with the Las Calaveras. I couldn't get boxes of the 14's or 15's but I got a few and am doing a project with the bands. I'll get a box of the 16's. and so on...

 

[Mikenice81]

If I remember correctly the 2015 is a slightly different version of the 2011. So, not the same as 2014.

I've been introduced to them when I joined here in February and also from my friend. So I'm not familiar with much of Tatuaje just yet....but I'm getting there!!!
