That photo did look pretty suggestive. I wasn't going to be the one to say something.

Yep

Glad it wasn't just me! Especially with "Cañones" involved in that post.....

@BlindedByScience got me when he posted that tat sampler on the cigar deals post. Figured I would snag a few sticks but holy crap wasn’t expecting this much!

Acquired from @medic5888 - I’ve only had the Plasencia’s previously - looking forward to trying the rest.

Ummmm yeah, it does get out of control quick. You won't be disappointed in those VSGs.

Got lucky again and scored another bundle of Alejandro Cabrera Lancero to split with my good buddy @CigarStone

Is Tatuaje not what it used to be when we were new here Jon? I don't see too many people buying the brand any longer.

I think it is more that Tat in the early 2000's was the newest & hottest brand on the market. Since then, many more brands have come onto the market and have diluted Tatuaje's dominance in the market. I think Tatuaje is now in the category of Padrón or Fuente, where it is such a staple that it doesn't get the attention as much anymore. Recently, @modo22 pulled me back into Tat as he is our resident Tat whore, and I'd like to hear his opinion on Tatuaje over the years. I'm also seeing other people revert back to the older brands like @medic5888 with Fuente, @wingman1974 with Davidoff etc.
My tastes have changed just like everyone else, but I have always favored Nicaraguan cigars (with the exception of LFD from DR). I've gone from Padrón to Tatuaje, to Olivia, My Father to Espinosa to HVC and back to Espinosa, with me creeping back into Tatuaje and Padron.

Tatuaje has run its course. There are too many other average brands at a better price.

If that is true, why do you keep buying so many of them? Do you just not have enough over-priced average cigars?

I have not bought any in about a month now. Finally realized the error of my ways.

This makes me sad. I've always enjoyed their original lines (Brown/Red) and the Cohetes that came out a few years ago. I haven't tried the Corojo yet.

How does this work. They sell at Stefano Ricci ?

I’m not sure if they sell them at the Stefano Ritchie boutique. I got these offered to me from a vendor who had to compensate for not being able to give me a box that I had paid for in advance.
