Tatuaje vs Crowned Heads

[Billb1960]

Theres been talk about the new 2015 releases hitting the market soon, specifically the 2015 Las Calaveras and the new 2015 TAA from Tatuaje. If you could ONLY buy 1 box or the other which would it be?

This is a poll so wait for it to appear.

Ouch rough one. I say crowned heads

Very good question. I am sure they will both be excellent, but my vote goes to the Las Calavares. I enjoyed the last release more than the Tat TAA 2014. I also think I heard somewhere the 2015 LC will be something like a 46 or so RG, and that is more to my liking. That said, I am saving my pennies for a box of each.

Taa never disappoint

I was just talking to the B&M owner about the 2015 Las Calaveras. The 2014 was exceptional and I smoked through 2 boxes of Robusto and 1 box of Toros. I just don't understand why if the 14 was so highly rated and loved, we would you make a different blend the next year. I'll probably buy 2-3 sticks before committing to amy boxes.

Probably the Las Calaveras based on scarcity alone. I can walk into my B&M and pick up a Tatuaje TAA almost any day of the year. The Las Calaveras I have only seen in pictures. But I do love blends from Crowned Heads.

I voted for Las Calaveras even though I never got to try the original last year. Generally I enjoy Crowned Heads more than Tatuaje. So I'm definitely looking forward to this year's LC.

Tough. I've enjoyed both the TAA14 (11 and 12 as well, I did NOT like the 13) and the LC in various vitolas. I regret not grabbing a box of the 550 and refuse to pay the markup on the secondary. 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.

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.
