The Tatuaje line is making my head hurt.

The website doesn't match product stock at stores and I just want to cuddle up with my favorite broadleaf.

CI mothership page lists the Noellas as Broadleaf, but at this point, I am totally confused as to which Tatuaje cigars are definitely broadleaf.

Any help here?

Reserva is generally broadleaf.

Certain sizes I believe were brought back just for the Broadleaf project which initially was the 100ct boxes then demand and materials prompted the 10 Ct boxes. I got 2 different sizes of 10ct boxes and I was really let down with the Noella.

What are they doing now? I dunno, Pete is obsessed with freaking Connie and SA wrappers now.

It’s already hard enough to find regular brown label stock, I’m not shocked if broadleaf is following suit. If they quit making PCRs Pete is gonna have some serious issues….

Ya know. Yeah. I like the cojonu 2012 Sumatra. Also jibaro

I’m finding some of the others to be a bit miss for me.

Forgot love the original red band. Way good smoke for price

I fondly remember the good ol days of Cabaiguan, La Riqueza, El Triunfador and La Casita Criolla...before Tatuaje flooded the market...

Per one of the free ship places that I’ve come to trust their wrapper, binder, filler details…

Noellas

Size: 5 1/8 x 42

Wrapper: Ecuadorian

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Nicaragua

Thanks CMD.

I saw this thread, and I remembered that I had an old box of Tatuaje so I went cooler diving.

I found a full box of Tat Havana VI Nobles.

I think I know what tonights' smoke is gonna be.

Nice….

I snipe most of the tats here from under you. Understand that and you know.

Love the ability to hide someone’s posts.

Haha, I just received a box of Noellas and the box is marked "Reserva Broadleaf"...

dang thats not right. I was going to say most their boxes designate broadleaf on the box and reserva broadleaf in the name when its a broadleaf wrapper used. Maybe they are broadleaf. Only one way to find out, smoke one ROTT!

Anyone here been watching the Tatuaje NFT thing going on right now? It's bananas!

Tell me when NFTs AREN’T aren’t bananas.

I'm not a fan of the whole NFT phenomena, but that's some kewl as heck artwork on those Tat NFTs.

Back around a decade I was dreaming of the even older days when I smoked machine made Ct broadleaf cigars, I bought some Tat broadleaf La Casita Criollas. Smoked a corona today and still don't like them. I'll have to smoke the rest of the short churchills soon. They haven't gotten any better - but they haven't gotten worse yet..

Stogie, I have a 10 ct box of the Noellas Reserva Broadleaf purchased months ago and just tried one. These are kind of a disappointment compared to the originals. Not bad in any way but just doesn't have the richness of the originals which came in a 25 ct without cello. New normal I guess.

I have two of the 10 count boxes from recent purchases, maybe not knowing how good they used to be is a blessing!

Yup, totally agree. I’ve been lucky enough to try a few older smokes that were GREAT but when I smoked newer versions of the same cigars, they just weren’t the same. But, I almost always shrugged it off because of the difference in age; however, as my newer cigars got to be the same age (…in terms of rest time…), they didn’t replicate the same taste and flavors as the much older ones. I won’t say I was disappointed but like you said, maybe it would have been better if I never knew how great they used to be.

seems to be a repeating theme...at first I thought it was my palate and or memory which may embellish the past...but by comparison smoking (one on one day and the other the next day) there was usually a clear winner and it was the earlier version
