I'm going to Pittsburgh this weekend and I'm going to stop at a B&M on the way. Last time I was there I saw a big pile of Tatuaje's sitting buried on the floor under the gigantic RyJ display.
I paid $6.75 for a Havana Hermososbut the guy pulled the price out of the air.
This is the question...
Are there Tatuaje's that I absolutely MUST pick up, and at what price point per single/box should I buy every Tatuaje he's got?
What is the hardest to find?
I want to make note so I can know what I'm buying even though I don't know what I'm buying, ya know?

I really, really, really, really like the Reserva SW. It was my first Tat, and still the best one I've had. I like it even more than the Reserva J21.

It's a churchill though. dunno if you like big smokes. But they are fantastic!

As for hard-to-find. I don't think I've seen any places that sell singles of the RC series. Look to see if you can get your hands on a couple RC184 or RC233.

Buy what you like.

Cigars not in the regular lines (Verocu, Reserva, RC) have more limited availability.

That's not the price of a lifetime for the red label cigars, but it's certainly competitive.

Your desire for spice should dictate which of the Tatuajes are a MUST HAVE, but my

are that you should try ANYTHING with a brown label. That includes the half-foiled RC's.

The general rule of thumb is Brown = Full and Red = Medium/full

Here's a picture that I relentlessly stole from moki's website at vitolas.net, which used to be on Pete's website at www.tatuajecigars.com

My personal favorite Tatuaje is the Cojonu 2003. I didnt' much care for the Cojonu 2006, and they're slightly more expensive than the '03.

I was really pleased with the J21 I smoked a few weeks ago. It was aged for well over six months, and was strong but smooth!

Hopefully, some other BOTLs will weigh in!

My local is the only place I know that sells singles of the RC's. Id sure love to get my hands on one of those thermonuclears!

Cool chart

Where would the angeles (Red Label) fall on this chart?
