my first tats

I am psyched...my first order of tatuajes is on the way!

I have never tried one before so I ordered a Havana sampler (a bunch of red labels) and a tatuaje robusto sampler (a robusto of each of the different lines). I also won a lot of the yellow label (pepin) CI legends on cbid so lots of pepins coming my way!

I hope to smoke one of the tats on Tuesday night so I will try to do a review. Now I have to choose which one it will be...
 
Start with a Havana VI (Red) before you try a Brown Label. The Angeles (PC size) would be my choice!! :ss Enjoy!!
 
Ive had one tat and it was the brown label (thank you bamadoc) and LOVED ever puff of it!

I've yet to have a white or red label because I can't get them here :(

Let me know what you think!! Enjoy them.
 
I love the larger VI sizes, but I still can't find a taste for those Angeles. Funny how vitolas can be so different in taste!
 
If you are like me, you'll love them.

The first Angeles I had was not that amazing. I recently picked one that had 6+ months age and it was AMAZING. Maybe a top 5 smoke ever.

So, try them and enjoy. With a bit of age, I think they get AMAZING!!

The Angeles is my favorite vitola of the Havana VI. What a tasty little sucker. :tu

I recently got a cab of petites from holts. They came with 3 angeles. I gifted on to a noob but plan to have one today at lunch. I also have a box of regios arriving monday, also with the 3 free angeles (and free Tat ashtray - then I'll have two!)

I've loved the brown labels and have been lucky enough to have been gifted a few well-aged ones by Lanthor (dammed enabler :tu). I have to say that all the Tats that I have had more than hold their own compared to the CCs that I have had - and I've had many. Mind you, personal taste is, well, personal and YTMV (your tastes may vary).
 
I love the Angeles. Did a box split a while back and got 6, have only smoked 2 of them.

My B&M has them for $96 so I should grab a box.

Man, Tatuaje petites are delicious. They have so much flavor and are a great 30-45 minute smoke. I love em. :dr
 
i smoked my very first one yesterday, a reserva J21. I think it was the spiciest cigar I have ever had. It had some ammonia taste, but it was fresh so I am very interested in having one with age. As spicy as it was I was expecting a nicotine buzz, but I didn't get one.
 
try all of them. you'll never know how similar, yet how different they can be. the original browns are still my first choice...BUT the BLACK labels are going to be my number one when they become more available.
 
The best thing I can say is just keep an open mind and try not to judge a brand by just one or two cigars.
 
I just received my shipment this afternoon and I must say these are nice looking cigars! Very nice indeed.

I ordered from NewHavanacigars.com and was impressed with the packaging. Each order (a 5 pk and an 8 pk) were in a vacuum sealed plastic bag with a humidipak, then wrapped in bubble wrap, then boxed with packing peanuts. I ordered on wednesday afternoon (the retailer is located in OH) and they arrived today, two days later (in MD).

I would love to smoke one tonight but I think waiting until I can give it my undivided attention (i.e. indoors with some friends rather than by myself in the cold and dark) would be the wisest choice.

The brown labels are fantastic. To me they taste like a quintessential cigar should taste.

What's scary is that the black label I had is even better!
