I've been saying this for awhile now. Hand Rolled NEEDS. NEEDS to do a piece on Don Jose Garcia in Spanish with English subtitles.
That would be a great interview
Pete has demonstrated to me that he’s very genuine. He has a love for this industry and want to bring our community great cigars for great experiences. Love this interview. Learned a lot and his legacy will be heard from generations. Keep going Pete!! 🙌🏼🔥🔥🙌🏼
Great interview! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great conversation! What a cool story Pete has.
He is at the peak of his craft and still always so humble. Makes you want to support him.
💯
Pete’s a freaking legend down to earth guy ! Excellent interview ! Pete’s take on blending development of his product makes me fall in love with his cigars over and over again!
Continuing to enjoy we will Pete! Tatuaje is one of my favorite brand and if I had to take one cigar for life, it would like be the original brown label. It’s truly one of the best cigars on the planet. Much love Pete and to the My Fathery family!
Awesome getting to learn so much !
Thank you.
The Miami brown label in Noella is my absilute favorite daily smoke, its delicious every time. I haven't had a Tatuaje I didn't love. Don Pepín is a genius.
Me and brother met Pete at cigar rights dinner in NYC many years ago. What a great guy.He was so passionate about what he was doing. Him and Pepin Garcia made a great combination. He told us the whole story and wanting to make a cigar that he wanted to smoke. Thanks for posting, great interview
I love the humble beginnings…
Wow great story
Love his Cigars ❤Thank you for sharing 😎 So so appreciate this interview. What an amazing journey ❤
Very informative.. Huge fan of Pete and his brand.. keep up the great content..
Awesome piece. Thank you both for your time.
My grandfather smoked a pipe, and like Pete said, the aroma is still in my brain.
A buddy gave me a premium cigar in 1997. It was a little strong for my newbie palate, but I knew I wanted to experiment more.
Huge fan of cigars produced by the Garcia family. Tatuaje is now on my radar.
I love Pete man. Great dude, great story. And last but not least, the man makes a fine cigar!!!
The best part of a Tatuaje cigar is the name. Great interview.
Tatuaje Black Label corona gorda is one of my all time favorites! Great interview.
Another relaxing video. Like that you treat your guest with utmost respect! Never ordered from Holts but will try on my next order.
Wow that was so amazing please do more like this soon
I don’t know why but this was really entertaining.
I have not had the opportunity to smoke a Tatauje. When I visit my Cigar shop next, I will make a point of picking up a few sticks. Enjoyed listening to PETE speak about his product. He sold me on giving it a try. Thank you for another quality listening experience.
Beatiful - a real artist
Pete is that dude!!
Tatuaje is the brand I started my journey with three years ago because of all the rave reviews in the forums online and will always have a special place in my heart because of that, along with my father.
Amazing, inspirational, giving me the hope and strength to pursue my plans in cigar industry. Thank you.
Just an amazing show♥️♥️♥️
Love this. Honesty have never had one of his blends but I will make it a point to pick a few up!
I started with Bering cigars that I bought at the Base Exchange and still have a few empty boxes I use as junk drawers. And by the way, Paso Robles is my favorite wine region anywhere. I’m going to have to seek out his cigars and give them a try. Thanks so much for this and all your videos. It’s been a great education as I’ve just recently returned to enjoying cigars after a hiatus for a decade or more.
Great interview!
Looking for that Tatuaje Reserva K222. I loved your interview with Janny as well and didn’t know they were married. These interviews are gold!
Wow. Great interview. I’ve never comment but I’m definitely going to try more Tatuaje, I did enjoy the few I’ve had. Great job, Pete.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice interview
Great content man! I really enjoy these interviews
Glad to hear it!
Gotta order a few of these 🤘
Beautiful.
This guy makes awesome cigars.
Glad you agree 🙌🔥
I wish Pete would bring back the Escasos!
I’m wanting to start my certification to be a tobacconist and then a cigar specialist, I believe a Cigar Sommeleir, and just become a specialist I guess is the term?I am wanting to start my own premium cigar company, too, so this is really encouraging and cool! I love these interviews!
Also any help on achieving my goals would be great!
Look up our video "Mazz and Faccia Answer your Questions" where they discuss that briefly!
@@holtscigars ohh awesome! Headed there now
I have smoked the cojonu cigar. It's a great cigar
Anothony, Great video again ! What expression in particular is that Four Roses single barrel ? I do not recognize the label but is one of my favourite bourbons . Regards, JZ
Thanks JZ! Four Roses Private Selection Single Barrel Bourbon
Pete is one cool cat,💯
What band?? What did u play?
Just wondering what the 4 Roses Single Barrel mashbill is…
What’s considered the best Tatuaje cigar?
As with any brand/cigar, that's for you to decide 😉
Can a cigar get you a sore throat and have nose congestion?
Highly doubtful. Otherwise it would be a common phenomenon (that Maz would likely have already addressed).
My bet is that if cigars do this to you, other things do as well.
Enjoyed that interview, Mazz. I haven't had a Tatuaje in a while, so I'm overdue.
There would have to be extenuating circumstances. If that happens consistently to you it’s possible cigars just aren’t for you. It’s possible you have an allergic reaction to the tobacco.
@anthonymazzola4470 thank you anthony for the info love your videos and stay awsome😀
Update: I tried another cigar after I felt better to see if it happened agian and it didn't so thank you for the info and I'm glad I'm not Allergic to cigars! 😁
Make the brand more affordable.
Just did a check on my aging cigars in one of my thermoelectrics that have been in there a few months (4...tops), and everything was perfect, EXCEPT the 2 boxes of J21s. They had mold. Waste of $700+.
Put some cellophane on them, please? Help me protect my investment...especially at such a price
Is it me or is the cigar industry slowing down a bit. Kind of reached a plateau. Cigars can only be blended in so many ways and still be unique. But I could well be wrong.
No way is it slowing down. Simply growing it in w different field would change the taste
Anthony i love you but thst guy is a tool. He isnt very liked for his comments in "handrolled" around here
Yet another new cigar company who is only in it for the money because he couldn't find a job.
Only talking about the money and price increases of cigars, that's his drive.
Is afraid to get stuck with his own cigars and only wants to sell them for the money.
Tatuaje is Spanish, but he doesn't have any Central American roots. He didn't even use his own name for the brand, like others do.
GREAT CIGARS
