Outlaw God · 06-26-2013, 11:20 AM

Thanks

Tatuaje SW Reserva Maduro...hands down, not even close. This stick is in my top three ever smoke.

Looks inviting, will get one, hoping for pepper not being a bomb

Thanks!

Krish the Fish · 06-26-2013, 11:46 AM

The Boris was the best I've ever had. Still trying to find a Frank to smoke, since I heard they have the same (or similar) blends.

Nice review on this stick:
Thanks!

Quote:

After toasting the foot and establishing an even light, the first thing I notice is the texture of the smoke, which is simultaneously creamy and dry. Flavors include herby spice, leather, roasted nuts, and a sweet baseline of subtle mint. Superbly balanced, the Boris has a unique profile you can get lost in as its mild flavor slowly intensifies to the medium-bodied spectrum.

mk05 · 06-26-2013, 12:17 PM

Tenderloins were pretty good. The red label Angeles also were good.

Sweet_Leaf_PDX · 06-26-2013, 12:19 PM

I really want to try some of the reserva series from Tatuaje. Of the varieties I've tried so far, my favorite has been the La Casita Criolla followed by the El Triunfador.

Adriftpanda · 06-26-2013, 12:32 PM

I use to really enjoy the Cazadores. I'm sure I still do, just haven't had one in a long time.

It'd be much easier to list the Tats I didn't like, than those I did.

Two of them are listed above. (Assuming the ET is the red band. OR wasn't bad - pretty good, actually....just a bit overpriced, I thought.)

dave · 06-26-2013, 12:48 PM

I guess I didn't answer the question.....which is best?......Today - maybe Avion 11. Ask me tomorrow....I might say Anarchy......Friday, it could be Tat BPL.

Honestly, I think a discussion like this is best confined to reg production/reg vitolas -- there's just too many choices.....toss aging into the equation and my mind explodes with the variables.

Reg production - Fausto FT166 is just about my perfect profile - Careful about vitolas, though....there are different Tats that might edge out FT140 or FT153....by a little

Brlesq · 06-26-2013, 12:55 PM

The TAA 2011 and 2012 (same blend, just different sizes) really hit the spot for me.

Remo · 06-26-2013, 12:57 PM

Cazadores and Anarchy

and OR Black Label PL's!!!

E.J. · 06-26-2013, 01:01 PM

Out of regular production sticks, if I could have bottomless boxes of Regios, Regios Reserva and J21's, I'd be just fine. I LOVE all three.

Limited release sticks, probably the Barclay Rex or Pork Tenderloin.

But being that I can only recall smoking about 18 of the sticks on that list, it's apparent that my sample size is limited.

pektel · 06-26-2013, 01:07 PM

That list made my head hurt. That's a LOT of blends/vitolas for a single brand.

I haven't smoked many Tatuajes. I did like the Anarchy. And the Tat black petit lancero. I Have a couple red and a black tubo to smoke. And one of the old HCS ones (gold embossed band), about robusto sized with a box press.

srduggins · 06-26-2013, 01:12 PM

Top has to be the The Pork Tenderloin.

Next up, it's a toss-up between the Boris (much better than the Frank IMO) and the Reserva SW maduro. The Little Boris is really good too.

After that, nothing really compares. Although, there is a bunch of really good smokes.

Regular production is tough to rank.
