A fiver of Petit Tatuajes will run you $16, and it will answer all your questions. Or go a little bolder and get 5 Noellas for $38.

Or just pick up one of each at your local B&M. It's an inexpensive introduction to the brand.

Before you know it you'll be buying up Cojonus 2003s and 2006s.

Cojonus 2006 = closest to a monte cuban taste profile and complexity. IMO.

Personally I'm a huge fan of the black petite lanceros. A 30-45 min smoke with great punch. Just picked up my second box @ around $200.

Just stay away from any "limited" or special lines and stick to the basic brown and red labels. Personally, I also like the Cabaiguan lines and the Fausto line occasionally too.
[Reply]

I've only had the red label but I have a few others in the humi, EricF gave me a boatload of them but I haven't lit any up yet.

I quess I'm one of those people who have researched them. The one that intriques me is the Havana VI. I havn't found any around here. I am obsessed with trying one of these. Just from what I've read.

I got the Miami Regios on cbid. Nothing great in my opinion but they are not that well rested. I am leaving them for a few months and seeing if they improve. I hope so as I bought into the hype and bought them thinking they were the s#@t. They still were not THAT cheap (6$/cigar on this apparently amazing deal).
[Reply]

smoke white and brown label few times... non impress me much...
[Reply]

Haha, I know how you feel bud.

The Havana VIs are available for decent prices on Cigarmonster from time to time.

11AM and 11PM are when the full day's choices are shown.

Friday at 6 PM (usually) is when most of the week's choices are shown.

I luv almost all Tats. Here are some of the ones I smoke regularly.
La Casita Criolla
Serie P Sumatra
TAA LE [one of my all time favorites] :-):-)
Wolfman [getting better with time...] :-)
[Reply]

TAA is delicious!
I am saving the Wolfman for Halloween 2012!
I enjoy many Tats, definitley a lot of hype but they do make a lot of really good stuff.

I know many people do not like the Ambos Mundos but I found a 5r for $10 on cbid and figured it was worth a shot!
[Reply]

Sadly my favorite tats I've had I can't find anymore :-). The cojonu 0606 is pretty darn good though!
[Reply]

Lots of great input, thanks everyone.

I just realized I got what appears to be a Tatuaje Havana VI (far right) in a trade with HollywoodQ:

Will smoke it later today and let you know how it went.
[Reply]

Yes it appears so. Enjoy!
[Reply]

DC - Hollywood did you good; that is a mighty fine selection full of my favorites.
Undercrown, Tatuaje, LFD, and Olivas are all regulars of mine and I've only heard great things about the Old Henry, Cains, and EPC.

I've only tried the normal releases, but EricF did the same for me only I started smoking when recieved; coudldn't wait to light up some LEs I'd probably never get to try otherwise. I spread them out over a few weekends and what a great few months of cigar smoking those were. Found myself shopping for a 50box of Tatuaje Petit Cazadores shortly after.

EricF is THE man.
:-):-):-)
[Reply]

Yeah he got me good! I followed the NST rules and he didn't LOL
[Reply]

Bought a L’Espirit de Vérité 2009 today. Will let it sit a few days before diving in though. Is the difference between this and the La Vérité 2009 just the size? This one is a robusto.
