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.

Get 6 boxes of the LC's now and 2 boxes of the Tats. Tats will be around long enough to get some more later.

Smoke some and hoard some.

The 4 kicks Mule Kick is head and shoulders above any Tat I've ever smoked and is among the top 10 cigars I've ever smoked.. The Tat Reserva SW comes close, but the Mule Kick wins in the flavor density and complexity department.

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.

LC for me all the way. Love Crowned Heads.

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
