  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Monday was your typical Monday and nothing sounded better than to kick back on the deck with a nice cigar. Rummaged through the humidor and decided on this beauty.



The Tatuaje Cabaiguan is a 5 1/4 x 50 Nicaraguan puro sporting a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The slightly toothy wrapper is a nice chocolate mottled in places with a lighter brown color. There are a few veins present and a small piece missing from the wrapper on the foot. The aroma coming off the cigar is a nice slightly sweet/earthy tobacco.







Clipped the triple cap and couldn't have asked for a better draw. Cold draw flavors of light earthy tobacco and some spice. The food toasted right up.





At first the burn was a little rugged due to the damaged spot on the foot, but things quickly smoothed out. The initial flavors were a light spice and some earthiness, but soon became more intense. Smoke output was great.





The burn is sharp. The flavors are great...an earthy, slightly leathery concoction with a spice on the finish and floral notes through the nose. Ash is a nice light gray and holding strong.











Really diggin' this cigar :thumbsup:.









All in all, I very much enjoyed this cigar. The flavors weren't complex, but sometimes you don't need a complex bouquet of flavors and this was one of those times. Another home run from Pete :thumbsup:.

Nice review Dan, I'm a big fan of the Cabiguan maduros myself although I'm surprised it didn't offer more complexity.

Thanks for sharing :)

Excellent review Dan, thanks. I have a few of these sitting in the humi. I think I'm going to need to spark one as soon as my cold clears

Awesome review, Dan.

And I love that glimpse of your dog. What breed is it? It looks so much like one of mine.

This made me pull out my Guapos RX. Good little stick. Not complex either, but just a nice smoke to enjoy tonight.
