    I completely lied. I did smoke a VSG, the one that you sent me kuzi. I don't remember it at all, not a good sign.

    I smoked a VSG a few days ago. It was OK, and I would not turn one down in the future. I would also not go out of my way to buy another. Like I said, to me it was OK, but nothing that special.

    Is the VGS anything like the VSG?

    Yeah, I don't let him wash up in the humi. Throws the humidity off. The cedar covers the smell.

    No problem Dep everyone has their own opinion. IMO the 2003 builds up, it get spicier and stronger while the 2006 is at its strongest when you first light it and it mellows as you smoke it.

    I have two more, the first one didn't do that I'll see what the other one's do. If they both do that then I would be with you on prefering the 2003 over the 2006.

    I've had at least 10-15 of each and this has been my generic experience. Not everyone I've smoked has fit that criteria but most have. My second issue is that the 2006 is a belicoso and it seems to build up tar where I've never had that experience with the 2003.

    I think that the tar build up is common on the Tatuaje brands. I have had several from each line that did that.

    Heh thats odd I've only had that issue with the Belicosos and the lanceros(El Truinfador).
  • vankleekkwvankleekkw Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 404
    The monster was the worst. Every one I had was that way. I just put them back in the humi to age. Maybe the tar will lessen with age.
  • vankleekkwvankleekkw Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 404
    Oh and by the way. Too all that have not had the El Triunfador, go buy them now. You don't understand what you are missing.

    Indeed, especially for the price. $9 for a limited edition extremely tasty lancero, is not bad at all.

    You mean the Frank? I refused to chase that thing down, Pete is wearing me down with all these hard to come by sticks.

    Right place at the right time. Got them the minute Pete anounced locations. I ordered em before the store knew they were getting them.

    I remember a few of you guys on CL doing that.

    Ya know Maddy, I kinda hate you for talking about Tatuaje so much. Because of your talk, I had to try some, and they were good. But that wasn't enough, I had to get some of the Cojonu 2003 to see if they are "that good". But even that's not enough, suddenly I found myself becoming a Pete Johnson whore in that I want to look into and try everything the guy has made or will make. Great cigars indeed, but man, I'm running myself ragged trying to sample all these different cigars. The madness has to end somewhere.
  • madurofanmadurofan Everyone, Registered Users Posts: 6,152
    It will never end bc Pete is an @ss like that, he has all kinds of limited editions and one time runs, etc. haven't had a bad one yet tho ...:)
