Fuente for me. I have to agree with Mu Mike. It has just as much to do with smoking experience or when you began smoking with where you fall on this vote I believe. When I started smoking Fuente was king and 858 maduro was one of my favorites. Then I moved up to the Hemi sigs. Another great cigar and they soon began making it in maduro also. Finally I found some Opus and Anejo. Something I always have to have around. Don't get me wrong I also love Tats. Pete makes some great smokes. The first cigar I smoked that I can remember was an 858 maddie. One of my fondest cigar memories. Sitting on a dock on the lake, fired the 858 up and I was sold. That is when I became a cigar smoker. If you really want to laugh I paid $1.25 for the cigar. Thats how long I have been smoking.
Which do you prefer Arturo Fuente or Tatuaje?

I fell in love with the tat 7th reserve the other week it was a great cigar, but last night i smoked a hemingway signature maduro which was also a great cigar. So they are both good brands with so much diversity how can you choose one over the other. Its like apples and oranges.
I like both brands, but Tatuaje won out. This wasn't difficult for me because Tatuaje doesn't make a cigar I don't like. From Ambos Mundos to El Triunfador, I've at least liked them all.
As for Fuente, I found the Opus X cigars to be garbage. Garbage! For some reason I'll spend the $14 on one of them once in awhile to see if I'm "missing something that others see," and each time I think, "Nope. These suck."
For me, a more difficult question would've been LFD vs Tatuaje. Or Tatuaje vs Drew Estate...

DPG rolls more lines for Ashton but the Ashton Classics nat and maduro, cabinet, heritage, and VSGs are all Fuente. I think the volume of their main lines overshadows DPGs production for them.
I'm partial to Tats but will enjoy Fuentes from time to time.

I voted Tatuaje.
Don't really want to get into the cigar snobbery conversation between brands and regions. I will smoke a good cigar regardless of where it is produced.

I gotta agree with Larry on this one. Pete's stuf has much more flavors than Fuente. Fuente's seem to be too bland for me.
Just my $.02
Thank you for saying this, I feel the same way.

My heart and palate belongs to Tatuaje, which is why I enjoy AF that much more.

Tatuaje for me but I'll tell you I REALLY like the Spanish Rosado by Fuente. It's pretty much the only Fuente I search for right now.
