Unbanded Tatuaje Verocu #1 & #2

[petroleumengineer]

Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but I am getting major Tat fever thanks to AngryBill's and others comments and am wanting to try the Verocu E & W.

Newhavana has unbanded Verocu #1 and #2 for sale and I am wondering how these differ from the original West and East releases? It appears these are the same smokes, yes? :scratchhe I like the labels but if they are the same, why not?

Thanks Guys

[eodcole]

They're the same, they're just packed in foil with no bands. The whole story is in the new havana blog. I think they ran out of bands or something.

[jwintosh]

that is correct! ran out of bands, and newhavana took the rest of them! once they're gone, they're gone!! no mas!!!

[Halon]

Yeah, pretty much Pete only wanted to make an exact number of bands, maybe 50,000 or something, but they made more sticks than that. They used up a portion of the bands on promo sticks and stuff like that, but then they had extra boxes left over. So some of the sticks are foil-packed and unbanded. Those would be a cool collector's item if I had the cash to spare!

Youbetyourass. :stretchgr

[StogieHokie]

Everytime I go to newhavana I see these things and I want to buy them before they run out. Maybe if my stimulus check comes in soon I will.

[JJmaduro]

Same cigar, no bands. And its a Pepin made cigar!

That's what credit cards are for!

I bought a box of the east coast. I'll save them a while.

AHHHH! The agony. a whole cabinet of those things has been tempting me for quite some time. I wish they'd run out so i don't have to be tempted anymore.

[eodcole]

There's another way to not be tempted. BUY EM!

[bballbaby]

I wanna hear yo usay that after you get back home to the missus. You're a tough guy now, but come Sept your balls are gonna shrivel up like a couple raisins!

[eodcole]

That's why I'm buying buying buying!

[mnelson]

That's why I'm buying buying buying!

:rofl:

I dont want to be in the same state, shit i dont even want to be on the same coast when the misses sees how your collection has grown since you went overseas :grin:

[eodcole]

You boys will hear about it I'm sure. The thing I might be more scared about is if she doesn't say anything.

[bballbaby]

Yeah, silence is deadly. :sadstare:

And matt, youre one to talk. If i were a bettin man, and i am, i'd say your stash has more than quintupled in the time it took you to get your 1000 posts. :hysterica

You know i think your are right about that, but my gf has watched it grow from the beginning..... slow and steady


BUT Edocole is putting this on the misses all at once.... you better make that couch bed up man

[bballbaby]

Good point. all of a sudden the guy shows back home with 3 coolers full of cigars. That will definitley be a shocker.

Adam - You better invest in a tongue scraper to help out the cigar breath.

[eodcole]

My misses is a bit strange. When drunk she has asked for a cigar in the past, and says "nothing like kissing my man after he smokes a fine cigar". When she's stone cold sober she's almost 180 the other direction. I'd like for her to at least openly accept it, if not join me. I'm just scared if she joined me she'd end up liking my $$$ cigars and only smoke those.

[bballbaby]

Ah, but then you'd be able to make memories based on experiences while smoking the same $$$ fine cigars.

The problem i have is i've got all these great cigars to smoke, but no one who really knows how to appreciate how good they really are. It's be nice to be able to sit down with that someone and pull out a couple Tat Verocu No. 2 and be able to talk about them. As it is, if i gave a tat east to the only person that could remotley relate to it, my brother, all he could say would be, "You're right, that is a good cigar." He couldn'g elaborate, we couldnt' talk about the flavorful undertones. he could only say it's good because i told him it's good.

I'd love it if my wife could truely enjoy Bolivar RC, or a Tat Cojonu with me.

I need a cigar smoking buddy.

[eodcole]

True thing on the memories. I won't hold my breath though and I don't think I have to worry about her smoking my good stuff.

To get back on topic.....

Excerpt from newhavanacigars.com blog:

"Over the course of the day - I talked my way into buying all of those remaining Verocu cabinets. It's perfect. It denotes the end of the East/West run of Verocu. The last few remaining cabinets will consist of unbanded cigars in foil - perfect for aging. Pete finally agreed. I hope to have them in a few weeks. Twenty some East Coast No. 2 and maybe ten West Side No. 1 cabinets. Sweet!"

So with only twenty some you probably don't have long to go. Now you can look at that two ways. Not long till you're no longer tempted, or you don't have much longer to buy them.:stretchgr

Just remember, when they are gone,, there aint no more. Don Pepin makes many awesome cigars. These are a master piece.

i agree, these are definitely a masterpiece. I can only imagine what they'll be like with 5 years under their belts.

[Fidel]

After 24 hours of resistance, I just pulled the trigger on these. The Mrs. actually said it was OK! Think I`ll keep her.

[StogieHokie]

The #1 sold out so I panicked and picked up a cabi of #2s! Threw in a box of Guapos for good luck also :smokingbo:

You guys are loosing me again. What’s the deal with the #1 and #2 and the East and West releases? Are they all different versions of the same cigar, different blends or what?
and Chuck, YOU calling these a master piece in the Pepin domain makes me want to try them in a big way. And this when they are gone,, there aint no more shit makes me nervous.

If anyone wants to work out a little trade for a few please PM me and let me know what you think would be fair. I just hope I have sticks that would be of interest to trade.

Verocu No. 1 (6 1/4 x 52) West Coast version
Verocu No. 2 Exclusivo Zona Del Este (5 1/2 x 54) East Coast version

I believe both are the same blend. Someone correct me if I`m wrong.

[Kdog]

I am going to smoke one of these tonight! Thanks to someone!!!

[Halon]

We've got a couple cabs of the west coast in at my shop, but I've never smoked an east coast. Anybody want to trade me a couple east coast verocus? I've got a lot of other cigars to offer!

[CWS]

If the both of us are still on this board in a few years I will trade you some aged unbanded East coast when I decide to open the foil.

Received my cab of unbandeds today. I wanna unseal that baby so bad that it`s killing me.
My first purchase from NewHavanaCigars - Outstanding service! <24 hours and a nice little surprise hiding in the box.

[eodcole]

He did the same to me when I ordered. My nice little surprise I think was a tactic to get me to buy some unbanded verocu, and it worked!
