I'm a big fan of the Brown labels. They are definitely worth checking out. I suggest you go pick up several sticks from the lines that your local B&M carries and see for yourself. You are bound to find something you like.

Have said it before and will say it again. Tat Brown=Best NC currently being produced. I know they can be somewhat expensive especially compared to what one can purchase CC's for, but IMO they more than hold their own against most CC's. I like to grab a Tat Noella or a J-21 just as much as grabbing a Boli PC or a PSD4. Again just my opinion and everyone has one.

I believe Pete joined her the other day, maybe we can get him to settle this. I believe his username is Tatuaje. In fact I'll PM him now

Hey Guys, To set the record straight. What is said on Moki's site is pretty spot on.
The vision for the brand is mine and the blends were created for me to smoke with my input. Yes, Pepin had tons to do with it but Tatuaje, Cabaiguan, La Riqueza ,etc. are all blends exclusively done for me. Pepin, Jaime and I work very close looking for the right tobaccos for my cigars. And of course Pepin and Jaime make all of my cigars. I count on them to make them perfect every time and to keep my vision on track.......
Pepin and I don't always agree with blend choices, that's why he has his own lines.
The original six sizes had different blends and the J21 & SW in the Reserva line are different blends.
Hope this helps.....
I am out for about 10 days traveling.....Keep the peace brothers......

Try to seek out the Cabaiguan. Not as hyped as the other blends under the Tatuaje and Pete Johnson name, but definetly my favorite:t.

For me the J21 is the abosolute best NC cigar in current(regular) production. I dont think you can find a better cigar for the money, the regular tat browns are good but the reserva line is better

from top to bottom i dont' think you'll find a better group of cigars than the brown labels. that's my personal opinion. i also think the reserva noella was one of the best ever made (which of course is no longer being made), the black label is excellent (we all know the availability there), and now i am standing in line to wait for the "monster"!!!
