I got 3 boxes of Tats from CI in June- Noellas ($140), Regios ($166), and J21 ($192). Can those prices be beat?

I dig the smaller ring gauge Illusiones, too, but I'm crazy about the Illusione 2 belicoso!

Right from the cooler. It stays between 64% - 65% RH.

I agree that the manufacturer should fix the mistake. If they make it right, that's cool. If not, they just won't get CS business in the future, right?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The DPG Black robusto is my favorite cigar right now. I love it with my morning coffee, after work, or after dinner.

Let me start by saying a couple of things: I love Don Pepin Garcia cigars. This won't be a review about nuances. I'm sitting in my back yard smoking the DPG Black corona with a Kona blend black coffee. I bought the coronas because I'm a fan of the DPG Black robusto, and I figured the smaller...

When I discovered Pepin blends, I started buying boxes. Probably about six months after I got serious about cigars. I still buy fivers or get into box splits here.

I, too, am a Tatuaje ho. My favorites are the J21 and the Noellas from the Brown line. I also like the Regios but not as much as the other two. I recently dove head-first when CI had them and bought a box of each (don't tell my wife). The Conoju, both 2003 and 2006, are great smokes, and I...

My go-to is the DPG Black robusto. I've got a box of the DPG Black coronas on the way from a C-Bid win, and the Perlas are on the list for a box purchase. The Blacks don't seem to get the love that the Blues get but I think they hold their own with just about anything (including the Tatuajes...

I really like the Tatuaje Brown and Red labels. But I prefer the DPG Blue and Black labels over the Tats, and I prefer the robusto size in the DPGs, the Blue just nudging out the Black for top spot. Having said that, the Tatuaje J21 I smoked this evening was very, very nice.

Mostly at least 3. Sometimes I pull the trigger sooner, though.
