Tatuaje, where to start?

[thechasm442]

I can't really offer anything that my fellow tatwhores have not said. What I will say is your timeframe matches mine. I had my first tat roughly 18 months after starting to smoke seriously and that one cigar made me dive head first into tatuaje and spend WAY too much money. Just be warned, because it's not even a slippery slope. That shit is covered in astroglide.

I started with a Miami Noellas.

Okay, this thread has made me reevaluate Tat. It's been years since I've had any (beside the El Triunfador lance), so I'm going to explore again.

Thanks to the OP for the thread and thanks for the answers everyone.

Thanks everyone! Especially @Old Smokey and @AlanS for Pm's encouraging me to contact small batch. Within minutes of my email they put two up on their site and using a coupon code I ended up paying $68 for the lancero sampler!

Now I just have to let them rest....

Your welcome Bob. I hope you enjoy exploring the lance sampler as much as I did.

I have been trying to give Tats more room and enjoy this thread.
As for my experience, I started with a red label and enjoyed it as a good smooth medium, then tried the 10th anniversary that didn't really do much for me.

Hope to try a L'Atelier very soon, I've heard good things about this stick, and hope to give a brown label another shot with a Miami.

Thanks for starting this thread and the earnest replies.

Not sure where you start but I know where I finished. I have smoked 4 different Tat's so far. A Black label, Reserva, Ambos Mundos Sumatra, and a Red label. All have been really good but I didn't consider myself a whore not until the Red label. Smoke my first any only one today thanks to @WNYTONY and I am now officailly a whore. Since I came back to cigars about 4 months ago this is the BEST cigar ever! I have to get more ASAP!

Everyone has mentioned the key lines, what I will say is.... Stay away from the 2 bundles cigars: El Suelo (black label) and the other one (red label)... can't think of the name.... If you are feeling frisky grab a Gran Cojonu and enjoy the ride. Oh, the one that got me started on Tats was the J21!

I really don't think you have to visit that B&M to try the different vitolas

Well I went today and they did not have any red labels. All they had was one size of browns and one size of black. They told me nobody really buys them so they don't carry them. I thought Tat's were popular, especially after smoking the red label.
