Tatuaje

thehoff

Being the Don Pepin fanboy I am and being attracted to shiny objects, I've been trying to acquire as many limited edition Tatajues as possible. I purchased some Verocu tubos and a Black Tubo. The Verocu was very good, but only a marginal upgrade from the Havana VI. I have the opportunity to purchase a few Boris and Dracs, at a substantial price. My question to you all who have experience with limited edition cigars and, specifically Tats, is what Tatuajes offer a great, unique flavor profile justifying the cost. i know worth is relative, but I've smoked enough cigars that a $20 cigar is worth it as long as it offers a flavor profile somewhat unmatched by other cigars (God of Fire, 1926 Padron are worth it). Thanks Evan

I can't speak on the Boris or the Drac, never had one. The only limited one I had was the T110. I liked it a lot. But I don't think it carried a high price tag, it's just hard to come by. What's funny, is that the most affordable Tat, the Ambos Mundos, broke into CAs top 25 for 2009. I haven't tried it yet, but hear it's good.

I can vouch for the Ambos Mundos Sumatra (No. 2 I think). I used to smoke em all the time in college as opposed to the Miami. It's maybe half a notch below for about half the price. I've got one in my humi and will post a review when I smoke it.

I saw a box of 25 on sale for under $100..... I might bite one of these days.

It's not for everybody. The cigar is a little rough around the edges but the flavor is great. As many people I now that loved the cigar have hated it as well. If you love the unique Tatuaje flavor you should enjoy it. Sure beats $200 for a box of Miami. I would suggest a single or two first.

I've had both the Sumatra and the Habano and I have to say I'm more of a fan of the Habano. The Sumatra that I had was an almost overwhelming nutty/sweet flavor, almost like peanut brittle. It also developed a bit of sourness towards the end as well. I have another one resting so I guess we shall see how it does a few months down the road.
