Tatuaje vs Crowned Heads

Rough... these two brands account for most of my stash!! If I had to pick I guess I would say Tatuaje because I think the quality control is better(not knocking CH but Tatuaje is a little better here) and I think they age better. Pretty much every Tat line ages amazingly well. In comparison the CH Mule Kicks I have are still fantastic but they haven't evolved like the Tats I have with a few years on them.

In reality though I'll be getting a box of both.

I would probably choose the TAA15 over the LC because I'm growing weary of the LE business model of CH. It seems every release is an LE. Perhaps it's just me, but I'd like to see a quality production stick from CH before they started pushing LE after LE.

I agree with you on that point. LE only available in TN, LE only available at a certain shop, LE only available in Hawaii. Drew Estate does the same thing though, making $5 Undercrowns some sort of LE and charging $12 for them.

LC for me all the way. Love Crowned Heads.

To be fair I was able to snag every CH release other than the Double W online and a lot of people do vendor exclusives. Tatuaje has a handful of them this year and recently did a vendor exclusive with the Black label churchill. As for regular production I'd say Jericho Hill, Headley Grange, Four Kicks, and JDH Reserve is a pretty strong lineup.
I know LEs get annoying for people and CH in particular released a number this year. But the way I see it is those cigars could be released or never see the light of day. I know Id rather get a chance to enjoy them while the leaf was available to make them than to never have that opportunity.

I have yet to have either of those two lines so I can't make vote for either one.

I voted Tat of course, I got a box of each along with a five pack of each last year, will do the same this year. The first LC I smoked was the best one. The couple I smoked after that were not as good. I hope Padron puts out another TAA if so that's first on the list
