Am I the only one that....

[darkninja67]

does not have a single Tatuaje in his humidors?

This is not a bash thread but I only tend to buy single sticks when I find Tats.

I know I am in a very small minority here and in the general cigar world.

[Razorhog]

I was gifted one. Way too expensive for me otherwise. So I guess the answer to your question is yes lol

[Emjaysmash]

I am like you, in a sense. I only buy Tats in singles, except I do have 2 tatuaje cigars in my humi at this moment.

Nope, don't own one either. Nothing against them have smoked a few and they are very good but just don't normally stock them. I guess one reason is I buy most of my inventory cigars on the daily special deals and they are seldom on one of those (even though Joe has some today which I will probably order) so I generally just pick one up at a B&M visit.

I currently only have 1 actual Tatuaje in my humidor, a black tubo. Well that's not really true, I do have a partial box of Ambos Mundos No. 2s.

I really do enjoy a Tat but I just haven't found a great deal on them yet and I generally only purchase boxes when they're on sale.

Do you like Tats?

[marge796]

I don't know if you want this type of response in your post but, I've got six and a half different boxes of Tatuajes and somewhere near 50 singles of different make and models of these beauties.

The few I've smoked have been very tasty. But, they're a little pricey for me. None in the coolidor ATM.

Nope...I'm at 0 also...because I smoke them immediately when I have them!

I like the brown labels a little bit. The price kills if for me though. For just a little more I can be smoking Padron 64 maddies which are a much better cigar IMO.

I revisited the Regios last week and it was good. Oneday I will own a box or two I bet.

Did not think I would see this many with a small stock of Tats resting.

[Thrak]

I've never even had one!

I saw the deal on joecigar but dunno if I'm going to pull the trigger... dont know anything about the San Cristobals...

Have not smoked a lot of San Cristobals but enjoyed those that I have. I am trying to not make any purchases this month, well any more anyway - could not resist some Sopranos @ $6 each on Monday and some Padilla 68 Salomons for $3 but I ordered 20 of those and they only had 10 in stock. Got to get professional help for this buying disease and this sure ain't the place to find it!

[Scottw]

i have none, had one in there but one of my daughters friends took it while i was out and probably rolled a blunt with it. I found the band in the basement.

[darkninja67]

I am talking about straight Tatuaje branded stuff.

I have tons of San Cristobal, LADC, DBp Cuban Classics, etc. I love those marcas.

[duckmanco]

don't worry about it man, trust me. No need to join the ranks of gushing fanboys who would traverse the depths of hell to drop $13.00 a stick on some new "limited" release.

All that said, I do have a box of noellas in the humidor, and while I love them, I probably won't buy them again as the pricing is too high. I also realized it ain't tatuaje I like as much as it is DPG's blends. Therefore, I stick with 601 blues and greens, Cubao and DPG blues for WAAAY less money.

:2 and rant off, hope this gets me in trouble.

go look at the joecigar deal today... there are 2 Tat sticks in there.

[CigarNut]

No tat's in my humidor. I like them when I find them, but they tend to be hard to find at my local B&M's and I never think of ordering them when I am looking for cigars online...

Also, the hype around some of the tat releases coupled with the limited releases really bothers me and ends up steering me to other, easier-to-obtain brands that are just as tasty or better IMHO.

[Blueface]

Nope...I'm at 0 also...because I smoke them immediately when I have them!

Same here.
Seems whenever I get some, they go.
I have that problem even worse with Padron Annis.
Love them yet don't own a single one.

I like the cut of your jib. I have boxes of Cubao and 601 Green. I have no problem spending cash but to me they are not that special. Never understood the crazy hype. I see it with the LP stuff now too. Good cigars but for the price you can get VSG or Padrons.

Guess this just shows us once again that you smoke what you like and everyone has different tastes.

[CasaDooley]

If it wasn't for 2 Tat dracs that were gifted to me (Thanks Kyle;)) I would own zero. Probably cause I'm a CC smoker.Thank you, thank you very much:banger

That is a sweet deal. Love the DPG Cuban Classics and the SC stuff.

I do love'em! I've been buying Tatuajes like hot cakes since the release of the T-110s this past summer. It seems like Pete is releasing a new, highly sought after cigar every other month.


Chris.....

[longknocker]

:r No, I'm Still Buying Singles & 5'ers To Determine My Favorite.:)

[Vegan702]

It appears you are not the only one and there are probably many more like you. I personally have many boxes and singles of Tatuaje, as it is my favorite stick. I have a hard time figuring out which stick I want to burn today.

I guess so. I like Tatuajes and Cabaiguans. Sometimes I think there is something wrong with me for not gushing over them like everyone else.

I definitely want to try some of the Cojonu stuff though. They intrigue me a bit.

[E.J.]

Not sure if I am a "fanboy", but I purchased a box of both Red and Black tubos just because.... So I have at least 20 Tat sticks in my humi.... Should take delivery of a T110 5er shortly....

Only tat I even remember smoking have been a few Noella's....think 2....

Have seriously considered purchasing a box of Reserva J 21's.....

As with all my cigar purchases, I figure that if they don't "do it for me".....someone will enjoy them.....

[shilala]

I'm not sure if I have any at all. I just have never found one of Pete's sticks I like.
I keep trying, though. :)

[akumushi]

I'll buy a single or to from time to time when I go into the B&M, because I do like Pete and DPGs products, but the prices a box of tats go for and the difficulty in finding the vitola you want is such that it's actually easier and cheaper to buy a box of CCs that I'll end up liking better anyway, so that tends to be the direction my box purchases go. For the same reasons, you'll never find me smoking any Opus or Anejos. It's ironic that Habanos LEs are REs are easier to track down than limited NCs!

[BigCat]

My best man gave me a box of the brown label regios at my bachelor party. I've still got a few of those laying around. I'll probably get another when they're gone. I really like them.

[silentjon]

Some of my favorite sticks. I have 6 full boxes and 100 or so of singles scattered throughout my humidors.

[icehog3]

Each time we go to a B&M to smoke, I buy some cigars to pay my "keep"...so I have a few Tatuajes in the humi.

[adampc22]

i have the one in there

[Noomis]

Next to Padróns, Illusiones, and Fuentes, Tatuajes are some of my favorite NCs. I've got fivers and singles of Pete's stuff 'cause I think he puts out a tasty cigar, though I would not consider myself by any means to some kind of "gushing fanboy." IMO, two of his special releases are probably the best sticks he's released, and two of my favorite cigars as well: the SW Maduro and the Black Label Corona Gorda. The latter, however, is the only limited edition of Pete's that I would aggressively seek out––love those things.

Having said that, I would beg to differ with the OP's assertion that he's in the minority on the net and in the "general cigar world" because he has no Tats. I think Pete's sticks are still considered to be "boutique"––that, as such, makes them a minority in the cigar world in general. There are far more popular smokes out there, both to American and non-American smokers alike. Sure, Tatuajes have gotten their fair share of press from publications like CA, but I think the level of Tatuaje's popularity can be a bit misleading if we only gauge it through forums such as this....

[Lucky_Hippo]

Saddyly I've yet to try any. My local B@M's have very poor choices, and when I'm hunting down smokes online I usually opt for two or three boxes of something else for the same price.

If I run into them I'll be sure to give them a shot.

:tu

[klipsch]

I personally only like the Reserva's and LR's. I can't say that I'm even mildly interested in the regular brown label line. I thought that the Noella's were good for the money, until I ordered a box and the retailer sent me Noella Reserva's instead. Since then...I never looked back. Actually...I'll take the Noella Reserva over just about any other stick I've smoked, except the higher end of the scale Padron's.

Come to think of it...I can't remember the last time I bought a Fuente either.

[G G]

I was gifted one. Way too expensive for me otherwise. So I guess the answer to your question is yes lol
:tpd:

[csbrewfisher]

Not only do I not have one, I've never smoked one. I always look at them, then choke on the price at my local B&M.

[e-man67]

I kinda got mad after the whole monster thing...it just made me think a bit more about the purchases since they are more expensive. Pete makes some fantastic cigars..it's just at the price point I can have 2-3 fantastic CC's for every 1 Pete stick. I still like them and buy them...though not as much.

[druturn]

You are not alone! Never had one and don't have any in the humi!

[Blindjimme]

I've bought various singles, the only box I've ever bought was the Serie P. They are reasonable at around $130 for 30. Mixed filler, good draw, nice taste. Would not buy again though.

Edit to say I would rather spend the money on cc's.

[RevSmoke]

Now I might be wrong, but the ones you listed are not Tat (Pete Johnson) blends. Tatuaje, Tatuaje VI, Tatuaje Series P, special edition Tats (Frank, Drac, Boris) and Cabaiguan are the only line I know that could truly be considered Tats.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Aren't Ambos Mundos also considered Tats?

They have the fleur de lis on the box and say Johnson & Garcia.

Just saying I like Pepin's stuff. He did work with PJ on the Tatuaje line right?

[maninblack]

I have never tried one but they look damn enticing. I might buy some when I go to Outlaw in April. They seem to be well liked around these parts.

[madwilliamflint]

That was true of me until Tuesday night. I was at Cigar Inn in NYC and a few people recommended one in a red tube. I'm noobilicious enough to not really have the faintest idea what it is but since I'd already smoked a sock knocking off Don Pepin I figured I'd save that one, so it made it to the humi where it sits, topless (the tube) soaking in 68% goodness.

(I smoked a Casa Magna that night as well and I have to say... not impressed. It was fine, sure. But people keep telling me how wonderful it is and I'm not likely to buy them unless they're remarkably cheap.)

[iel76]

I see no hype in this well made cigar. The Tatuaje SW Reserva is my favorite smoke...medium to full-bodied and, as importantly, beautifully constructed. I'll drop some bucks for a good cut of meat from time to time and the same for this cigar. Never had one I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Generally keep 15 or so on hand.:ss

That my friend was very good advice you got on the red tubo... The red tubos/verocu blends are the only tats ill spend money on right now.. (as prev. said by another member in this thread, the coin that tats cost can go for twice as many better CC's..

[Mr.Erskine]

I do not have any Tats. I have had Tats, but I don't right now. I generally only have them if I have been given one... In fact the biggest cigar that I've ever smoked was a Tat.... It took forever to smoke and I had to lie down when i was finished.

[Starscream]

I have smoked a few Tats, but don't have a single one in my humi. The one's I have smoke have been decent but the price is a ripoff IMHO. I love some RP/Indian Tabac that is equal or close to Tatuaje blends that cost less than half the price.

I'm not knocking Tats, but the price is VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY overrated IMHO:2!

[RevSmoke]

:confused:

Ah yes, another one.

[RevSmoke]

Just saying I like Pepin's stuff. He did work with PJ on the Tatuaje line right?

Yes he did, I believe. But I guess I thought the point of origin was the issue with Tats...

Anyway. I like much stuff done by Pepin too. And some of the stuff he's done with Johnson. Much of all of it is more expensive than I'd like to spend.

[Goldie]

I have a few Tat's but nothing crazy. I would say a half dozen. I enjoy Tatuajes, they are just expensive, and I am po' folk. :r

[Smokin Gator]

I have some because I like the variety and there are some very good Tats. The Noella Reserva and the East Coasts are two of my favorite sticks period. The pricing is tough though... A perfect example is the Noellas (not Reservas). They are a very good stick and you can tell they were blended to taste like a Monte #4. If you find a deal on them you can get them for about $150 a box. That is about 50% more than a box of Monte #4s!!! Which do you think I would buy more of???

[Powers]

I've got several Tats in my humi. Most of a box left from the Holtz deal on Verocu #9s a few weekends back........but i missed a joe's daily deal on Tat?!?!? :bh

[coastietech]

I stock up on boxes of Havana's and I try to buy boxes of the Verocu 9's when Holt's have them on sale.

Currently I have a box of Dracs, a partial box of Tat red's, a few Boris', and some other random tat's

I don't really buy the Tat brown label because I don't think they are that much better than the red's for a much higher price...

[ScottishSmoker]

It appears you are not the only one and there are probably many more like you. I personally have many boxes and singles of Tatuaje, as it is my favorite stick. I have a hard time figuring out which stick I want to burn today.

I am very similar to what James says here...my humidor at home only has about 50 single Tatuajes in it...but my locker at Pheasant Cigars in Las Vegas Nevada has I think the remainders of about 10 boxes of Tats...It is my favorite Non-cuban Brand...luckily they are easy too obtain for me...

[Rabidsquirrel]

I have one or two. The price to enjoyment ratio isn't great enough in my opinion to justify the cost.

[acruce]

I only have one left in my humi

[Mr Edmundo]

I didn't think I had any, but checking the photo inventory of my stash, I spotted one. It's floating around somewhere at the bottom of my coolador. It's a Tatuaje Verocu-Exclusivo Zona Del Este (East Coast). I've never tried one yet.

[ChicagoWhiteSox]

I haven't bought a Tat in a while. The cost benefit has me buying different cigars.

[Addiction]

I have two tats in my entire humidor. Actually i own multiple humidors (tho I really only use a couple) and I don't really have any tats whatsoever in them other than those two.

[mash]

I haven't tried them all, but the ones I've had don't do it for me, and they are relatively way overpriced. If someone steals my humis, and Cuba drops into the ocean, I might be tempted to buy some.

[JE3146]

I like the tat reds and keep a few on hand.

Other than that and couple drac and boris singles... not much else when it comes to tats.
