La Verite 2009--AWESOME cigar! More on the sophisticated side rather than a flavor bomb, but complex and delicious! One of my favorite LE's from 2011, and one of my favorite new cigars as well.
Schrader Hispanola--NOT a Tatuaje cigar, he just distributes for them (I've never had one either)
7th Cabinet capa Especiale--I'm undecided on these, but I'm sure they will improve a lot with age. The NHC Capa Especial is 10000% better, as is the Wolfman and probably the upcoming Cojonu 2012 Sumatra
Reserva J--Not sure which one you mean, maybe the Reserva SW? That's a big churchill. Very Cuban flavor profile and much better with age.
7th Cabinet --Good, tastes like a Tat Brown label, but I like several other Brown labels more than these personally
Lespirit de Verite--Awesome, possibly a little spicier than the churchill version (but the Pelo d' Oro leaf is so complex that all the 2009 La Verite can come off more or less spicy from one cigar to the other)
Reserva J21--Probably the strongest (in terms of both body and strength) regular-production Tatuaje. Spicy and rich. I think they're great. The infamous "Pork Tenderloin" was a J21 with a Broadleaf wrapper (the T-Rex, i.e. Barclay-Rex 100th, and TAA are based on this blend as well).
Caveat--I think most Tats improve with age, some improve a LOT with age. YMMV. Other "must try" regular-production Tats include:
Especiales (brown)
Noella (brown)
Unicos (brown)
Petite Cazadore Reserva (brown)
Cojonu 2003
Cojonu 2006
Cojonu 2009
Grand Cojonu
Victorias (red)
Angeles (red)
Verocu #5 (red)
Verocu #9 (red)
El Triunfador Lancero Especial (it's a maduro)
El Triunfador #6 (the lancero size, it's a habano)
La Casita Criolla corona
La Casita Criolla (any other size)
Fausto robusto extra
Ambos Mundos Sumatra robusto
There are also 2 awesome LEs that are out right now, the TAA and the La Verite (which you saw).
