  • 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.

I am smoking another one of these it reminds me so much of a great cuban smoke with that great earth taste. These really are some fine smokes. I just wonder what they will be like in a few years.

The Tainos was my favorite Tatuaje vitola when I first discovered the brand, but eventually I came to prefer the Noellas and the Havana Cazadores more....but that Tainos is still a *spectacular* stick.

I was fortunate enough to get one of these with years of down time on it from a fine BOTL. I would have to say that time really mellows this smoke out. I mean full puffs through the nostrils mellow. This cigar ages just as well as many of the CC's I've had after down time.

I'm with Electric Sheep on this one... the noella is pretty tough to beat. I smoked one last night that blew my mind and had me smelling my fingers for hours after... :cool:(That sounds so wrong, but yet so right...)

Great smoke! I happened to have a Neolles earlier today & under-estimated how powerfull these truly are. Should have saved it for after dinner.

after all this talk, i just lit an especiales. I'm about 3 puffs into and it's alredady good. I've only had the regios from the brown line and i haven't been all that impressed with any of the 3 i've had. i've loved the cojonu blends.

i may have to pick up some cazadores and noellas tomorrow...just to give the brown line a fair shot. you know.

If you like the Cojonu 03/06 blends, then you'll probably like the Cazadores and Noellas a lot ... those are all on the "stronger" end of the Tatuaje brown label spectrum.

The Unicos, Regios, and Tainos are all on the "lighter" end.

I love the Taino but it takes some time to smoke. What I like about these is no matter how many cigars you have smoked or how late or windy or warm, the flavor comes blasting through. I stll have a bout a half a box going on two year snow.

The Tatuaje Tainos is my criterion... as far as what I look for in cigars.

well-made... great balance in flavor and strength. This is my staple cigar! Ofcourse, I finally figured this out when I'm too broke to buy a box!
