Tatuaje Verocu Zona del Este

[jonesy107]

Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to try one of these (or the West Coast edition) yet? I picked one up on Saturday at the local shop and thought it was amazing; perfect burn, perfect draw, tasted like a mix between the Brown and Red Label Tatuajes (at least to me anyway).

Just curious if anyone else has tried these yet, and what you think about them?

Wow that's a mouth full.....If I can't say it, I don't buy it:scratchhe

I have one of the West Coast in my humidor, but have not tried it yet.

I am happy with the regular production Tats & Cabbys and do not plan on spending more money on the regional or limited editions.

 

[sascha]

I bought a bunch, but i feel like they are WAYYYYYYYYYY too fresh, I will revisit them in a few months

 

[Altercall]

I don't know anything about em. What should I look for in TX, the East Coast or the West Coast? Or could it be that we aren't going to get either?

 

[terrantheman]

I was bonused a couple of these in a trade (the east coast). I thought they were pretty good not great. I prefer the browns better and the regular havana VI. I think they might be toooo fresh with that large ring. I really enjoy the cabaiguan guapo now that if sooo damn great.

You get the west coast in Texas, although some stores claim they will get both, it has yet to be seen. I ordered my east coast ones online as well as Cabaiguan guapos from the same place. Jst got em today, and cant wait for a little time to go by so I can try em. Cheers!

Tried the West Coast edition yesterday thanks to TexaSmoke who graciously picked me up one on his travels. I found it to be a very enjoyable smoke. Good balance, construction and flavors. I had heard they were a little on the milder side (as opposed to the East) so I had this one in the morning. It was a perfect fit. Thanks Tex! :bouncetau

I just got four of the east coast ones in the mail with some other smokes (and I am on the West Coast!). I almost always give my cigars time to rest after a cross country journey, so I'll smoke one in a few weeks. If I had gotten a box, I would smoke one right off the top, but four isn't enough and it ain't worth the risk of smoking a cigar that is still angry about it's long trip...

East and West are the exact same tobacco blend, just a different vitola.
I think I will have the ones I have in my humi a year from now, right now just too fresh

I agree and I did the same. I think mine sat close to 3 weeks. eace:

Found some of these (East) at a local. I have heard most like the East better, but as good as that west was yesterday to me, it will be hard to beat. opeyes:

Both sticks are great! I'm partial to the East Coast for obvious reasons, but I have tried both vitolas. Definitely pack a punch with the added Ligero. Havana VI blend comes through quite well.

Thanks for the info and :welcome:

You should hit the introduction thread and tell us about yourself.

So uh, someone correct me if I'm wrong here.....there are only TWO cigars, correct?

* Exclusivo Lado Occidental, Verocu No. 1 (6.25" x 52) = West Coast
* Exclusivo Zona Del Este, Verocu No.2 (5.5" x 54) = East Coast

If that's the case, then my B&M has BOTH in-stock, $10 each.

I bought a #1 last night, but I think I will go back and buy a #2 today.

 

[mrpunch]

You are correct - two sizes - limited supply. Cool, maybe some B&M's traded with others so they could have both sticks. Lucky you! DEFINITELY try them both! And let us know your favorite - if you have one.

 

[CWS]

Had the west coast today and it was a very good cigar. Bold, strong and a good size.

 

[jwintosh]

[jmatkins]

I will have to pick one up when I am in Cali next week.
As well as get one of the east cost ones to.
