Any raving reviews for the Tatuaje La Casita Criolla? Coronas Mashing 5/25

*consists entirely of specially cured Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco.

I've smoked several.  Each time expecting that maybe the previous one was a fluke.  I'm just not impressed.  Hands down, my least favorite Tat.  And to keep things in perspective, I've never paid for any of them so you would expect "free" to taste better.

My least favorite Tat has been the Tattoo...

+1. Although I've never had the LCC. Still hard to imagine a Tat worse than the Tattoo.

The first half was meh but the 2nd half was ok for me...but for $5 I wasn't satisfied.  $3 smoke IMO

I put up a tentative herf date on the calendar for September 7th.

Perfect for me. And I have a Punch Punch all lined up.

Hey, Bret. I'm sure that will work fine.

Well, it was what Dean specified.  I'd order a box, but they wouldn't be ready to smoke by then.  Fortunately, I have a friend who keeps a supply.

Ahh. Did not know that. I'll have to substitute something else then, since I don't stock any isokw... which is what your talking about, right?

yes, I was going to buy a box to pass around but that money is needed elsewhere right now. in the calendar I put in smokers choice. smoke your favorite cigar. sounded simpler.

It's all good. I'll probably go with the Tat Black CG. It's practically the same size and as close to isokw I could get. Unless I see 'my friend' and he brings some more Cohiba Esplendidos by then.

That cigar just seems like a mistake.  Maybe it needs a decade or two of downtime?  I'd put it right 'up' there with the Bueso Genesis and Armada as far as worst cigar I've had in recent memory.  I don't have a full "Not Top 10" but those three would be at the top.

I smoked a RP Edge last night, been sitting in the humidor for who knows how long. Had fleeting hints of some really nice flavors, but every other puff was hot air.  I was ready to toss it after an inch and grab something else, but then it got decent.  Creamy nuttiness, real pleasant.  Then back to nothing and I was ready to toss it at the halfway point.  Then it got better.  Then the burn got all crazy.  Then it straightened out.  Incredibly inconsistent cigar that was tasty, except for when it wasn't.  Kinda my experience with every RP cigar I've had in the past 5-6 years.

Yeah. Already made the mental note not to buy on that one. Think it's been a thumbs down for quite a few.

With all the choices in that price range "fleeting hints" just don't cut it.....

Used to like the corojo Edge. Haven't had one in awhile, but your description seems to be right on with my experience. This and the Decade probably the only RP I liked well enough to buy again in some capacity.

FYI, I did the add to cart test, 35 Tat Black CG jars at Famous in stock

Exactly.  If it where a $1-$2 bundle cigar it'd be good.

You'd think it should take awhile to go through 10,000 jars (total production)... but you never know.

We all should probably get at least 1 more ea.
