Tatuaje Petite Cazadores Reserva

[Docbp87]

The Petite Cazadores Reserva is a new, regular production in the Reserva line, a segment of the Brown Label line that forms the core of Tatuaje cigars, and constitute less limited releases of special cigars from Tatuaje (the Cojonu series, the RC cigars, etc.) In this case, the Petite Cazadores Reserva is designated 'Reserva' due to its use of the awe inspiring, dark as night Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper which is very highly regarded. In color it is, as I mentioned, a smooth dark chocolate. There are no really large veins visible. The seams are tight, and the triple cap is fantastic. An interesting little element of this small smoke is the closed foot, which Johnson seems to like, using it on his personal blend, the Tatuaje Black Label, and now this. The aroma is slight, and chocolate like. The closed foot prevents much of a smell, and not much feel for the cold draw either. There is a slight sweet tobacco flavor, and a hint of cocoa on the pre-light draw. Need to light it for it to open up.

Really long time for such a small cigar (one hour and ten minutes). Perfect performance aside from the tough draw initially. Great flavors, fantastic even. Smoke production has never been short of amazing. Leather, coffee, sweet tobacco, pepper. Great profile, and everything I have come to expect from Tatuaje cigars, especially those using the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. This is definitely a cigar I will be buying more of. They come in Cabs of 50 cigars, at a good price that works out to about $4/stick, which is cheap for any Brown Label cigar. Consider this a new addition to my regular smoke rotation.

The 7th Reserva and the Petite Cazadores Reserva are must smokes in my opinion! :cbig:

Great review, as always. The funny thing is you almost always review a particular stick before I spark. How cool is THAT? :thumbsup:

 

[mwlabel]

Excellent review, thanks! Sounds like I need to pick up one of these to try

Still waiting for my box to come in, can't wait for these. Thanks for the review.

I was wondering about these. Now I know. My bank account is going to be upset with me soon.

looks like you liked it! These are probably one of the best short smokes out there.

These are great. They are super hard to find though. Most of the retailers I have talked to have said that they are waiting for Tatuaje to send them.

I will be getting a box of these, after my 7th reserva comes in...I love this size, and so far have really enjoyed all of the ones I've tried so far...

This stick is box worthy in my opinion. I picked up 3 from a shop I rarely visit, and once they hit the home shop, I'm grabbing a few handfuls.

These, and the Angeles are my favorite shorter smokes. They are both flavor bombs and burn perfectly!

I plan on buying a 2nd cab to sit until my first one runs out. I think with a year or two with age these will be on FIRE!

Great review, I can't wait to try one now. I'm sure i'll be under the 45 minute mark though.. :cbig:

I've got to get my hands on a few of these to smoke. I think I may have been a little too hasty jumping to conclusions after smoking just one.

Just tried one of these today and it was pretty good. Not as strong as I was expecting - about medium strength + body. Good burn and flavors though.

I have a question though: Mine had a second Reserva band, but the pics I've seen of these only have the brown band. Any reason?

Love that little smoke, one of my favorites.

Never seen a PCR with a Reserva band. You sure it wasn't something else?

Sounds like you had a petite reserva not a PCR.
