Pete is nowhere NEAR RP in regards to the number of cigars he produces...Do you know how many lines RP has?
Also, other then a few new cigars (La Verite) and the various one off Single shop releases (which I actually enjoy quite a bit, as it allows Pete to produce cigar blends he would never be able to produce...some of the best cigars Tatuaje has ever made come out of these releases, including the T110, SW Maduro and Cohete, just to name a few), Pete seems to be working on expanding existing lines, which I am thankful for...
(Oh, and Pete, thanks for making the Petite Cazadores Reserva in this overwhelming large RG market

I'm as well am most excited about the Petite Cazadores Reserva
Ditto... the industry wants to go bigger for some reason. I don't really like to smoke anything bigger than 50rg or so regularly.(Oh, and Pete, thanks for making the Petite Cazadores Reserva in this overwhelming large RG market

I'll make whatever comparisons I want. I agree the cigars are far different.
And Pardon is not a boutique brand either, they have huge coffers and farms at thier disposal. They also took their time getting to where they are.
Thank you for the answer, as BIll said you can defend yourself just fine. Though I will stand by the fact that I was not attacking you, but merely saying I am worried you are/were spreading too thin.
I wouldn't even bother counting. I do know that Pete has several more line today than he did 2 years ago, and seems to be expanding on a regular basis.Pete is nowhere NEAR RP in regards to the number of cigars he produces...Do you know how many lines RP has?

If I had any vote, there would be 10, not 9 new vitolas. I really like the limited release Pete made for New Havana. I prefer the Habano wrapper to the Reserva, which is unusual for me, but I am digging both of them.
C'mon Pete, we don't need more fat cigars. We need more Lonsdales, damn it!
(I will quit bitching now, and eagerly await the arrival of the Corona Gordas) :clap:

I am really surprised to see such fatties in Pete's new releases. Honestly, a 50 rg is pushing it for me.
I mean, I just can't seem to be able to puff comfortably on anything bigger. It's not that they don't have great flavor or complexity... It's just too damn fat. anything from 42-46 feels very comfortable in the mouth and puffing is effortless. Enter sophomoric banter if you so desire :skew:
anyways... I guess the market is calling for these so Pete's gotta do what he's gotta do. and of course... to each his own.

I LOVE the fact that we're going to see two regula 4x40 sticks--such a wonderful size for a quick smoke that tastes like a full cigar, and perfect for winter. Of couse, I'm really stoked that one of those is a Verocu
I also think it's cool that he's doing some bigger rings. There aren't may big-ring Tats, and many love them bigger. Although I usually prefer the smaller rings, I am looking forward to trying the new vitolas.
I also agree that a new vitola in an existing line does not a "new line" make. And not counting the small-batch "for fun" releases, there are still far too few Tat lines for the amount of success the company has, compared to other young companies.
Diminishing quality is likely more proportional to quantity than variety. But hey, what do I know about it really, lol. I've never even been to Nica

Padron is still a boutique company. Their production numbers pale in comparison to General and Altadis.
