It was the one you gave me Not sure if it was old or new blend but it was very tasty...actually thinking about a box of them now...how long did you let it sit before gifting me?

If it had a brown label and was a lancero it was the original blend...I doubt Jason would give you anything but, he knows how good the original is. Good luck finding a box of the originals, not gonna say it's impossible, but they've gotten steadily harder to find over the past year or so.

Definitely the new blend then...it's definitely the one he gave me lol....was still a good smoke though...how're the Barclays btw? Have you fired one up? I finally lit one up several weeks ago and had to hide the rest...damn good smoke that I could easily go through very fast!

I forgot to tell you, I did light one up and it was awesome, incredible smoke. I gifted the other one to a BOTL who I knew would enjoy it. That's one I wouldn't mind having a few boxes of.
The original El Triunfador was a lancero only and came banded in a simple looking brown label, it utilized a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper and is my favorite cigar from Tatuaje. Somewhere in the last couple years it was reblended and released over a variety of sizes, still a good cigar but nowhere near the original.

Glad you enjoyed it! Getting ready to hand one off to another BOTL...darn shame they didn't make more boxes...they are great smokes! Thanks for the info. on the tats...sounds like they're harder to find than a Frank...almost bit on a fver of those two weeks ago but could not justify the price...actually scared me a little bit.
Graycliff DE. Burned a little hot at the end, but otherwise very enjoyable.
I've had more DE burn hot in the last third than not, some have been good to the last drop, but I've resigned myself to knowing that more often than not they're gonna get hot. Even smoking super slow hasn't helped me. That's ok though, it's such a good cigar that I'm willing to look past the minor failings at the bigger picture.

Oh cool, yea the one I sent was the original blend. They are getting hard as hell to find, but I love that cigar. I haven't even tried the new blend yet because I just can't see it living up to the original and I hate to be disappointed. lol I actually smoked that La Verite that you sent me in that same trade. Damn good cigar!

I remember you mentioning that a few months ago, and this was the first time where I really noticed it. I may have been too in love with it then to notice any shortcomings. I haven't had one in a while. At about and inch and a half left it was to the point where I couldn't smoke, or hold it. Which I guess isn't too bad. I agree, it's such a great stick I'm willing to overlook that.
I still think they should make these in a toro size.
Had my belated wedding celebratory smoke. My first Camacho Pre-Embargo! Not quite sure if it's worth the MSRP, but it's damn tasty. Musk, sweet tobacco, roasted nuts, cream, and a light pepper that dances to the back of the tongue...that's what she said haha.

I was kinda meh about both of them.
The original El Triunfador was a lancero only and came banded in a simple looking brown label, it utilized a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper and is my favorite cigar from Tatuaje.

A very buttery smoke not bad.
I still think they should make these in a toro size.
later i smoked a Petite Tatuaje Reserva.
