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.

and rant off, hope this gets me in trouble.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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...

Default 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.....

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.

Default 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!

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.

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.
