Tatuaje El Triunfador vs Tatuaje La Riqueza

[issues]

Not to sway ciggy's fine review/comparison thread but... Does anyone have a pic of the OR ET? I have two ETs (just received one yesterday as a purchase escort) and if I remember correctly, the bands are different. I'm not where I can check right now...

OR El Triunfador

If you are somewhere where you can follow a link, here's the new release:

I think Moro put together a comprehensive Tatuaje guide somewhere around here complete with pics. He did a really great job it's worth checking out.

Smoking my second El T here as well.

I do not like the new blend at all. I bought 2 boxes without having tried them and it was a huge mistake. Dont think I'll smoke another for a while if ever. Might just trade them away.

It's really hard to say this, too, as I am a huge Tat fan.

Smoked my first new El Triunfador yesterday. Other than the price, my first impression was negative. Like any cigar I will need to smoke a few more before I make my final decision. Hopefully the second is better. You never know, my first La Riqueza was horrible but the second and third were great...ended up buying box the same day :scratchhe

The La Riqueza blows the EL out of the water....INMO its Tatuaje best stick

I got a sampler pack of both brands with all of the vitolas on line at New Havana Cigars. Both great cigars, but it's like apples and oranges. I've posted a review for the El Triunfador at http://www.kilowhiskey.de/reviews/reviews.htm#rthirtyfour and will be posting a review for the La Riqueza soon.

Everybody hawking their website. Geesh. Why not post it here?

I can't keep the La Riqueza's in my humidor long enough to get any age on them, have yet to try the new El Triunfadors.

I'm with you. I bought a box last week and I keep reaching for them. Seems like my day is not complete until I have one (even if I've smoked others that day.)

I bought 10 boxes of the La Riqueza when they first came out and down to my last one. They are really hitting the sweet spot now with the added time down and offer a great flavor and burn. To me the EL T's are good but not one I would grab over the La Riqueza.
