I'm a bit surprised by the lack of love for Pete and his lines. I've never been disappointed by any of the Tat blends I've tried and own several boxes of his stuff. I think he is the most creative personality in the industry and I can't wait to see what he rolls out next. JM2C
Don't be. Try a bit of searching for "Tatuaje" on here and you'll see why. I think he makes a good cigar, my favorite being the Tatuaje Black, but there's much to be desired in the way he markets himself, overall attitude, and more recently QC issues. But then again, I'm not here to turn this into a bashing thread. I don't think he's the most creative personality in the industry, I just think he knows how to sell, e.g. Make such a small amount of cigars and call them limited so everyone sells their firstborn to get them. The part that doesn't sit right with me is when he re-releases the same cigar 6 months later in a different band or size or bundle or box, and also calls that limited.
Just not my cup of tea. I like the Padrons, they're a bunch of straight shooters. The Fuentes are just as gimicky as PJ, but I feel they have earned the right to be because of the quality of product they put out. Then again, that's just my opinion. Just as long as you don't get all tmoney on me, that always sucks.
