I recently had my first Tatuaje cigar and it was fantastic. It was part of a trade from Lic_Magroine.

Can someone help with the correct name for this cigar? It had the 10 year anniversary band that says Tattoo Tatuaje 10 Miami and had a separate band that said Reserva. Trying to find this exact cigar as a buddy wants to split a box. Are these even still available out there?

What are some other Tatuaje cigars my buddy and I need to try? Are there others similar to the one above? There seems to be a lot out there to try and don't know where to start.

What is the deal with the Tatuaje cigars that have a different name on the band, such as: Cabaiguan, El Triunfador, Avion, Tattoo, Ambos Mundos, Fausto, La Casita Criolla. Are these as good as all the ones with an actual Tatuaje band?

Pete Johnson has put the Tatuaje name on at least 100 different cigars. I've tried most of them. I have not had a bad one. The range and depth and history is quite complicated.
You just need to dive in and try any.
As to the ones listed in your last paragraph....these might have a little more 'mixed' reviews and reception. One of those will hit you perfectly, I'm sure. But, for proper introduction, try more in the 'core' Tatuaje lines, IMO.

Welcome.....

The Reserva denotes the use of a Broadleaf maduro wrapper, the standard brown label I believe use as a Habano wrapper. The 10th anniversary may have been a slight tweek, but I thought they were standard brown label blend in different vitolas and bands. I may be wrong tho.

You could also try the L'Atalier lines too.....lots of choices. Or as Pete likes to say "We have a seat for every ass, and a option for every wallet size".

I used to go to school with his sister, Pat Magroine.....Have you met his cousin, Phil Macrackin? Nice guy, but he's got a few quirks.

I have an Ambos Mundos in the box, but haven't tried it yet. I did enjoy an El Triunfador No. 4 Robusto......I liked it, but if you like stronger cigars it may not be your cup of tea.

Tatuaje still confuses me. Same size vitolas within a single line with a different name and a different wrapper. Ive gotta look on the box to see what it is. Habano, Sumatra or Connecticut broadleaf. Easier buying them here for my noobass.

I saw on halfwheel that Tatuaje has a broadleaf collection being released this summer in very small quantities.

Already has been released to some stores when they shipped the 25 count boxes of skinny monsters. I couldn't afford the $1100 for the set but did manage to find a place that sold 5ers and grabbed the Caz and Especiale.

naw, I browse that place from time to time and if you're in the right place at the right time you can get a hell of a deal.

The guy that had them was about 40 miles from me so we met at a B&M close to him, smoked a few cigars, and walked away with a box of cigars for cheap
