Just a heads up guys, Holt's has an exclusive Tat blend called the HCS, free shipping entire order with box purchase.

Description

Created in collaboration with "Tattoo" Pete Johnson, Tatuaje HCS is a Holt's exclusive. The entire production of Tatuaje HCS is passionately overseen by the Garcia family in Nicaragua and is possibly the finest cigar Pete has ever made. Thick, silky Habano wrappers cover a fantastic blend of aged Nicaraguan fillers, making these cigars a delicious, absolute must-try. A rich, earthy-core of flavor gives way to sweet notes of cedar, creamy leather and spicy pepper as you revel in the full-bodied smoke. Pete may be kicking himself for making this masterpiece a Holt's exclusive, but we aren't complaining. Try a box of these incredible, limited-production beauties this week at incredible savings of up to 37% off the MSRP and we'll ship your entire order for FREE!

I don't think its a new blend Mike. I've seen these on the site for sometime now.

But it is an exclusive to Holt's.

....it's hardly new, been around for quite a while.

I got a 5-er some time ago, when they first came out. Got to admit they didn't do much for me....and I really like Pete / Pepin's smokes.

YMMV, etc....B.B.S.

...Google shows reviews as far back as August 2010. Not sure that's the definitive release date, but they were clearly available then.

Like I said, not my fave Tat, to be sure. Worth a 5-er to try....probably. I won't be buying any more...:-)

I received that email today too Mike and I had to hit the delete button since I am broke, but didn't realize it was an exclusive, but I had never seen it before...may have to get a 5er to sample.

A Tat exclusive???? No way. :-) Just kididng, I love my Tats!
[Reply]

As stated above...bought a 5er early last year and was not impressed. Nothing to write home about.
[Reply]

:-) They have been around some time now as mentioned above and this is one of the very few Tats that I haven't enjoyed. The feedback on these have been 50/50 with the guys I have spoken to who have smoked it.
[Reply]

I think i got one in a pass a long time ago, but I never got around to smoking it.
No clue where it is now anyways...
