Good Morning All! Question for you seasoned vets out there. I want to try these cigars, what should I try first? Bold to mild doesn't matter, just want a good start with this brand.

Thanks to all that respond

Black or Brown label, really anything in either of those lines would be where I'd start. The Black Petite Lancero or Cazadores are ones I'm partial too, but I enjoyed the black petite Robust and CG as well.

I dont think I've had a bad Tat. Can't go wrong.

Definitely prefer them with age over fresh though.

Agree with cbd... black label in a smaller ring guage especially are a good representation of the brand... i suggest you avoid the red label, the tattoos, basically all the cheap stuff... although fausto's aren't a bad smoke and can be had for fairly cheap...

I used to love the flavor of Red. A custom-made, fat, rubusto, maybe called #9, from "THE PLACE IN PHILIDELPHIA", was my favorite. It was actually kind of sweet.

Depending on your level of experience, the Negoicant or Cabaiguan lines might be good places to start. In general they’re in the mild-med to med range. But, iffin’ you’re ready to take the next step, then the recommendations about the Brown and Black label lines are great places to start.

The red lancero with the twisted tale was also a favorite.

You can buy a ten-different blends Tatuaje lancero sampler for like $75.

Try the 7th Reserva - It's like smoking a good steak.
My second would be the Cohete from Tower CIgars. Great vitola and excellent smoke from the Miami line (brown label)..

I can't believe I forgot to mention the capa especial, the cigar that made me realize all those gurkhas and 5vegas I was smoking were garbage...

They still sell them, they're technically in the Havans VI Verocu line, the #9 is a petite robusto and WAS exclusive to that place. You can get it other places now, the mothership carries them and the notoriously hacked place has them in addition to the Philly place. At one time, they used to go on sale kinda cheap from the Philly spot, but right now they cost about what I've recently spent on the Black Label Cazadors, so don't feel like as good a value.

I never loved the Havana line (except the La Zona’s) it’s hard to go wrong with ANY brown label and I would absolutely recommend all wrappers Natural (Habano) Reserva (CBT maduro) and Reserva Especiale (Sumatra). Black label is good but I’ve never loved them either. Most of the other smaller lines are great as well, I can’t say there’s one I’d avoid. Shoot I even have a box of MEII and I hate SA maduro!

Just bought a box of the new T110 Capa Especial. Nice!

Favorite was the Cabuiguan Guapos with sun grown wrappers followed by 7th Reserva and Noellas Reserva.
