Haven't updated in a while. Here's 3 stogies I had over the weekend. My cigars pale in comparison to Jon's collection
- La Libertad
- Man O' War Robusto
- Tatuaje Culebra (Old Man and the C)

Jon, if you ever decide to put a "sampler" package together, I'd be down for an order! BTW, how does that new H Upmann Legacy smoke?

Happy New Year to my fellow brothers of the leaf!

What is the name of that third stick? Tatuaje? It wins my vote for most unique cigar I have seen. Up there wit the Opus grenade lol. How was it?

It's a Culebra from Tatuaje; 3 black labels braided around each other. Came with a coffin of a Tatuaje Black Label Lancero that my buddy got for me.

Culebra translates to "snake" in spanish which is evident in the packaging of these Culebra cigars. Traditionally, they come in braided bundles of 3.

The stick smoked like a champ. Nice tight white ash held on nicely for being such a weird shape. Rich creamy smoke texture. Nice, but not overwhelming, pepper wash with a bit of leather and woodsy characteristics.

The Old Man and the C

I've noticed that God of Fire isn't smoked by the MBWorld cigar smokers club. Anyone have any thoughts/comments regarding God of Fire?

I have a 2011 God of Fire Robusto that I received as a gift. Anyone have any experience?

I remember seeing that at a local B&M a year ago... I didn't buy it, but that was because I hadn't been introduced to Tatuaje yet.

Now, if only I could locate one... haha

Oh, you have to try the Tatuaje blends. Cojonu, Miami, Brown Label, Black Label to name a few. Pete Johnson is probably one of my most respected figures in the cigar world.

Want one of these Culebra's? They're kind of busted up from taking in too much humidity but still smoked like a champ. PM me, and I'll send you one of these twisty pretzel looking thingies hah

The Tatuaje Brown label is outstanding. I also have had the 2012 Cojonu (Connecticut Broadleaf), the 2006 Cojonu, and the "Monster" Halloween special. THAT was an awesome stick.

Hang on to your Culebra and enjoy that rare beast... I'll see if I can locate the assembled package locally. I genuinely appreciate the offer though, you da man.

Anytime! As I said before, if I ever come across something that any of you guys are interested in, please feel free to PM me and I will gladly send what I can.

So many Tatuaje's out there that I want to smoke and that Cojonu looks delicious!

Jon told me about the Illusione No. 2 and it's a brilliant smoke. I'm also looking forward to trying the F9... slightly thinner/longer but the same binders/fillers.
