Essentially, each year certain brands will put out a one off line of sticks under this licensing of the TAA name as a limited release cigar for that year. Only certain retailers in the US are TAA retailers and carry these yearly cigars. If you get a chance, give the TAA 2020 Tatuaje's a try. Fantastic smokes. Slightly less full bodied than their normal blends in my opinion, more flavorful but still the same excellent construction as always. I bought two boxes of the Nat Sherman Pan America Epicure's recently and smoked the first one last week. I liked it a lot. The TAA's were somewhat one dimensional and very pleasant as an everyday smoke, but the PA's were a little spicier and more complex for such a small stick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar Salute Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Purchased a couple of Atabey Brujos (Robusto) to see what all the hype was about...Foregoing all the nonsense about them being a "Stealth Cuban"...Not bad, but not a $30 stick either IMHO...Box-wise, my last purchase was a 10 count box of "Hit & Run" Corona Gorda. This cigar is a collaboration between Room 101 & Caldwell. Excellent Boutique smoke, Mild-medium, very floral and bright. A mineral-almost graphite taste...Reminds me a bit of a young QDO 50...I don't buy or smoke much NC these days, but I'm always willing to smoke one that's not trying to murder me with spice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fokker4me Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I bought another box of Opus X Petit Lanceros (my NC of choice), and a box of Davidoff Ambasadrice, as well as a box of LFD Mueso from an auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really the Paul Garmirian Anniversary collections and reserva exclusiva, have not yet tried the Soirée though. Saw the 30th anniversary came out recently, would like to give that a shot too. Was thinking about picking up some of the Mil Dias as well, I have liked most of the Crowned Heads blends I have tried. Have you smoked one yet? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 2001 Maduro pretty good as well. I tried a couple samples of the 30th back in early spring. Thought they were good but still prefer the 20th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really exceptional lancero, and the Haut 10, as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am switching back and forth between Illusione and the Foundation lines. I have not had a bad Foundation cigar but I will not smoke anything with CT Shade, broadleaf is a different matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorangutang Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I admit I was mostly drawn in by the gorgeous Prometheus humidorSent from my SM-G955U using TapatalkI’ve not had any luck with Opus. Not had one I like. I love Fuente for their mild/medium - Hemingway all day (which is funny, because almost everything else I like is more full flavored.) I liked Opus for the idea (first DR puro), but just don’t like the cigar.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
