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!

I am talking about straight Tatuaje branded stuff.

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

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.

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

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?

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.
