Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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?

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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...

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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!

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

I am talking about straight Tatuaje branded stuff.

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

:r Do You Like Tats, Bro?:tu
I love Them, But Only Have 10 In My Humi, Now.:)

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

boxes?? :D

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.....

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.....

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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. :)

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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!

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

i have the one in there

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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....

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

:tpd:

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

:2

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

Aren't Ambos Mundos also considered Tats?

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

:confused:

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.)

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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..

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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.

Re: Am I the only one that....
 

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!
