Agree with Dan on this one. Way too much hype for an average stick.

I smoked a lot of stuff in 09. Some great and some not so much. The only cigar that sticks in my mind that I absolutely hated was the Casa Magna Oscuro.

In my experience, nearly every Tatuaje product needs to rest for several months if not longer. Some people like them fresh I suppose, which is why he releases them as such, but I think they're better rested.

The first time I had an El Triunfador, I was VERY underwhelmed. It just didn't have much flavor. Then I had one with a year of age ... WOW, what a difference! The same basic flavors were there, but just a lot stronger and it was a really, really great cigar.

Like the La Riqueza, the El Triunfador is best on a clean palate.

It's times like this I'm glad I'm poor - I have never wasted money on over-hyped crap, because I just don't have money to waste.

I'm not rolling in piles of cash either, but I think its good to at least try everything once, better to regret smoking something than to regret not smoking something.

now that I'm giving it some thought, I didn't have any cigars this year that were God awful or hideously overpriced.

biggest disappointment?

Cabaiguan

It was not a bad cigar at all and I smoked the whole thing. It was just sooo mild that I couldn't get enough flavor for my tastes, and I like mild cigars.

It didn't help matters that my expectations were sky high based on the universally positive feedback regarding this line.

Try the Guapo as that is the best in their line next to the Guapo Maduro and all the others are IMHO.

I might get beat over this one but Cains. Habano or Maduro. I thought they both sucked.
