  • 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.

Had my first Tatuaje today

So i go to my local b&m today and ask for a recommendation from the owner. He leads my into the humidor and suggests the Tatuaje reserva J21 (I stand corrected it was a 7th Reserva). Boy was he right that is by far the best cigar I have smoked to date. I am afraid to go into a review as far as things i tasted in the cigar. All I know is i tasted alot of coffee flavor I THINK. However this was an awsome cigar it is a little out of my price range for an everyday smoke but I will definitely smoke this cigar again. If anyone has a better Tat to try that is not a limited edition and is fairly easy to find.... I will take any suggestions. All I can say about this cigar is WOW

Sorry, didn't read whole comments. Think those J21 are too strong for me. I prefer regular production Tatuaje with red bands in the medium to short length. Think the angels is the smallest ones. VERY peppery flavors that start medium and build to full strength. Has some espresso in there but mostly is a pepper bomb. Something close to the one you liked I think are the regular production Tatuaje with brown label. Try one with brown label and similar in size to the J21. Again enjoy the journey, you will be a Tat whore in no time at all.

J21 is a great smoke. I like the regular brown and red banded ones too. There are a lot of great smokes in the Tatuaje line up. I suggest trying them all.

:clap: Congrats to you and my condolences to your wallet.

J21 is a GREAT smoke... one of my favorites of the "heavy hitters" in the tat line. It's even better aged, it starts to take on an earthiness and smoothness and the spice fades a little. Great smoke.

If you liked the 7th reserva, you would probably find a great deal of enjoyment in the J21 and the PCR as others have suggested. Considering the rest of the regular release Tatuaje's, the Noella and Havana VI victora are also great smokes
