Tatuaje Regionals Question

[RHNewfie]

Are they really that good? Does anyone know where you can get singles online? I love the Havana VI, do they compare in any way? Thansk!

The West coast regional can be bought here:

The East coast is great. Haven't tried the West yet, but I'll be looking for one.

East and West are same blend I believe, just slightly different size.

IMO, I prefer the regular Havana VI, especially at the price of the regionals. The are the same blend with ligero added and a larger RG than the Havana VIs I smoke.

For the price I'd go Cabaiguan Guapo or Tat J 21 Reserva which are all about the same size as the East and much better cigars, IMO.

See I would say the opposite. The guapo is about $12 at my B&M and the Tat $10. And I prefer the cheaper one.

I know they are the "same" blend, but the East coast sure tastes different than the regular Havana VI to me. Maybe it's the vitola that gives a different taste I don't know, but damn is it good. And I don't even prefer large gauged sticks, but this one just has the right stuff that makes it an exception.

But what I would recommend above all that's been discussed is the Hirsh y Garcia, blow them all away I think, and a cheaper too.

I just finished one of the East Coast blends and I have to say it is my favorite cigar of the moment. I gave one to my friendly B&M guy (they don't carry them) and he was blown away by it. I really enjoy the Havana IV Nobles, the Verocru is the same taste profile but with a little added punch on the spice and fullness I guess due to the added ligero. I buy mine online from New Havana Cigars, they have the best packaging methods I have ever seen. www.newhavanacigars.com

Thanks for the info folks!

What about the other regionals, the numbered series with the foil etc.

ditto on new havana. he's got the last of the east coast sticks that were made. i dont' think the regular reds are even comparable to the verocru. try a fiver of the unbanded foil wrapped and see what you've been missing.

I've only tried the West coast regional, but I wasn't that impressed. I'd rather smoke a Noella.
