Tatuaje TAA

Smoked one today at a local B/M.  Great cigar, tons of flavor, even though it was rolled earlier this month and "wet-packed" I didn't have any draw or burn issues.  This B/M got about 50 boxes in, if anyone is interested in getting their info PM me.

I just received my box and smoked one immediately (I know, I know :)). It wasn't bad, but not on par with the regular production Tat Browns. I really need to stop chasing the special releases not only from Tat but from all the nc producers. Once in a while, they're fantastic (Barclay Rex, original Viaje Exclusivo robo) but in the big picture, I'm kinda disappointed with the limited editions.

The burn and draw on the TAA was absolutely perfect. They deserve a six month rest.

If you want to get rid of the box I will grab it up in a hot second!

I think after a bit of rest, these are on par with the B-Rex and tenderloin......I put it right in the middle for me....

These are my favorite cigar right now...bought a fiver and then bought two boxes...personally I like them better than Brex and Tenderloin...

I bought a 5 pack and smoked one the same day I got it. I also smoked one yesterday and it was like night and day. The first one was not very good but the second one was excellent. It is funny how much these changed after a few weeks of rest.

Agreed, and glad they were still available when I realized how good they were....the first stick, not too impressed. After a few weeks, holy god I was glad I was able to get another box...

FYI for those looking for these...updown cigar still shows these in stock. I bought my box from them and had no problems whatsoever. My first purchase from them. They have singles and boxes.

I agree. I think right now the tenderloin has the edge only because it has sat for awhile....however 6 mos to a year the TAA will be the top dog.
