Tatuaje to Release Economy-Priced Cigar

[ucla695]

It'll be interesting to see how these are blended and how distinguished they are from his other lines. He's definitely taking some plays out of Pepin's playbook by creating more and more lines.

dont forget about the

TATUAJE SERIES P

i get em for 3/4 dollars a stick, never above 5. and everyone who knows me, know thats i LOVE THIS CIGAR.

Hmm...the not-so-economy economy cigar. Why is it that Oliva makes such great cigars at their price point and no one else seems to want to try? I'll try these, $4.50 is pretty "economy" where I live, and I might like them. But why those two sizes only? I'm not a fan of either of those sizes...

My point exactly!

If you can show me a better tasting cigar then the Oliva O Habano at $3 I'll suck your toes!

Well maybe not really suck your toes

[sofaman]

I am going to try them but if they are not any better the the Tat P1's I will stick with the P1 for $69 for a box of 31 they cant be beat

I doubt these will be any good. Pete mentioned B and C grade tobacco in the article I read which isn't a bad thing it just means these will be ugly. What does concern me is that he admitted that not all of the tobacco is completely fermented. From my experience and the knowledge I've gained, a cigar that is made from improperly fermented tobacco will have a lot of ammonina and nicotine and should be very harsh. I don't do harsh.

What will make it worse is that there are a LOT of great cigars at the $4.75/$5 price range (including other Pepin blends like 601 red/black and even DPG black 1979). These will be competing directly with those and if they don't measure up, I doubt they'll make much of a splash.

Although, there will always be some folks who are swayed by the Tatuaje branding so who knows.

I agree, the cigar will, as any other have to be judged on its individual merit. Its going to be tough on it as the mentioned price point is one hell of a broad playing field, and there are some serious contenders in it.

Who am I kidding... I'm totally going to buy some. I'm a sucker for Pete & Pepin blends.
