So i took the wife and kids camping in one of the local parks here. Not but 10 miles from our house, but still far enough where the kids thought it was cool. Anyway, I brought a cigar that I would normally never find the time to smoke. If you have never seen one of these in person It is huge. the 233 is milimeters representing the length, so nearly 10 inches long, witha 54RG at the fatest point.

As a perfecto, it lit up just like the vitola said it would, perfecto. I immeadiatly got a great cedar and carmel flavors coming through that really stayed the whole way through.
The ash held for about 1.5 inches at first, and then about an inch at a time after that. Man this cigar is smoooth and medium bodied at this point. The draw is perfect, and the smoke abounds.
At this point the kids were calling for dessert, so....
SMORES BREAK!!!!
I took about 25 minutes off from pictures, but never let the cigar go out.
Still a very medium bodied smoked, and really i am getting the best caramel, and cedar flavors.
By this time it is starting to F me up a bit, Of course I'm 6 Amstel Lights, and a few Natural Ice cans in to it, so I was going to be F'd up anyway. I never got the spice or pepper I am used to with Tats, this one was like a really big Noella. I am not going to toss this thing until it burns my lips.
Ok my lips are burnt and my head is spinning. Someone find me another beer.
I'm not sure if you can see it, but that is the final resting place of my first Tatuaje RC 233. I was worried when I lit this thing that I would be disappointed by some aspect of it, but I was wrong. If I had the time set aside I would definitely smoke this cigar again. Total time from cut to nub was 2 hours and 23 minutes. Thanks go out to ScottiDucati for including this cigar in a drive by bomb a couple of months ago.
