  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

as promised joe

today my eyes were opened to a whole new world. i've seen the reviews and read other people's reactions to smoking their first tat. today, i decided was my day. i picked the tat noella that joe had bombed me with. i'm not a good reviewer, i prefer the cba191 style review that says "it was good" or "it wasn't good". i must say "it was fantastic". the cut was good, the pre-draw was perfect. it lit up nice and easy and smoked fantastic. i haven't smoked a wide variety of cigars so far, but i can see why this cigar is a staple in so many humidors. i will def. be having another one of these soon! thanks again joe!

I think you did a fine job right there. The more you smoke, the more other characteristics will come to you, keep up the good work and welcome to the Tatuaje Nation.

I'm glad you like it Jeff. Like I said, enjoy them. The noella is one of my favorites of the tat smokes. Try the victorias next. They are all very special smokes to me. Glad that I could help you try some of Pete's smokes.

i can really see how people get hooked on these and buy a box immediately. im too poor for that (esp. since my car just went in to the shop today for a leaky radiator, ouch!) for i will def. be getting more. it was on the stronger side of the smokes ive had (5 vegas gold, rp decade, af short story, etc) but not as harsh. it felt smoother to me. it could be that i was totally relaxed with a nice big glass of ice water, but it was one of the more enjoyable smokes ive had. (box split anyone? hahaha).

Personally I think all you guys should stay away from Tatuaje cigars. They are the most wretched putrid things I've smoked and that dude with the tatooed sleeves has got to be a dick, I mean he takes pictures while making obscene gestures with his hand. I only have his cigars so there aren't as many to go around and ruin other people's days. :sarcastic
