M80! 1 year later

[W.B.]

Derek he's a dangerous man, but since he's also very knowledgeable I risked unsteady ground to ask him to confirm what the wrapper for the M80 was; even though I'd tried to avoid such measures as to walk into what I guessing is his favorite trap. Dumb move on my part, nonetheless thank you Speedy for your knowledge and generosity. I know you didn't' ask but I hope you(and BOTL) enjoy this brother, it was definitely my pleasure to smoke this for the review.


Tatuaje M80- Released in Summer '11
4"x50
Wrapper- Ecuadorian Habano Maduro
The Rest- Nicaraguan

Construction/Appearance- A great looking short robusto with a long wick on the top of it's cap. Dark brown with a slight redness, some veins. It's uniformly firm from cap to foot with great weight and feel.



Burn/Draw-Great draw, the burn is even in the beginning but soon requires touch ups for the wrapper.

Flavor/Aroma- A genuine power hog, perfect the end of the night. Full bodied and full flavor. Complex and loaded with flavor. Nice finish at the end slightly harsh.

1/2-starts out with a blast of red/black pepper and leather leaving a great spicy/savory sensation then with those transitions to add coffee combined with dark chocolate and creaminess

Went out but after relight purged a 6 inch flame,WOW!

2/2-Same and now with black cherry and smokiness as pepper/spicy lessens

Burn time-1hr 25min.

Overall-9.3/10 A fantastic cigar, smok'em if you got'em!

Nice review. I really like a short robusto. Was this a LE?

Edit: Researched a little bit and saw that it was.

Great review, the more reviews I read on them the more it sounds like I missed the boat on this release.

Nice review. I had one on Wednesday. It was a great smoke and the perfect size for me while at work.

Funny I just saw this review. I was looking at the only two I got thinking I should finely try one. Just wanted to see how they aged a bit first and now I know. Thanks Warren for the review...I'm firing one up this week for sure.
